Current test build.
The current internal-test Android build does not maintain active Smart Meal Shelf accounts or cloud recipe data. When those services launch, the schedule below applies. We will update it if the technical design or legal obligations change.
Retention schedule for live features
| Information | Normal period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account profile, recipes, lists, notes and sharing permissions | While the account is active; deleted after verified closure request, subject to backups and exceptions | Provide the requested service |
| Security, sign-in and abuse-prevention logs | Up to 90 days unless an incident requires longer | Security, fraud prevention and troubleshooting |
| Deletion-request and support records | Up to 12 months after resolution | Evidence of handling the request and service support |
| Payment, invoice and membership-audit records | Up to 6 years where required for tax, accounting or legal obligations | Legal and financial record keeping |
| Backup copies | Removed on the normal backup cycle, normally within 90 days of active deletion | Service resilience and recovery |
Exceptions
We may retain limited data beyond these periods where necessary for a legal requirement, regulatory inquiry, security incident, fraud prevention, dispute, legal claim or another person’s rights. We will restrict access to retained data and remove it when the reason ends.
Review
We review this schedule at least annually and before a material change to Smart Meal Shelf processing. To ask about a record, email info@smart-businesssolutions.com.
