Google@UH Spaces Retention Policy
To stay in line with our Google@UH storage policy, our retention policy dictates that any Google Space with no members or without any activity for six consecutive months will be subject to deletion. ‘Activity’ in this context of this retention policy refers to posting messages in a space or inviting new members to a space. Simply viewing historical content within a space does not count as activity.
How Does the Retention Policy Work?
Spaces with no members - Spaces with no members will be permanently deleted with no notice.
Spaces with no activity for six months - Spaces with no activity for six months will be identified semiannually, and notifications will be sent to space managers informing them that their space will be deleted unless action is taken. Users will have the opportunity to retain the space by taking action (posting a new message or inviting new members). Once notified, if no action is taken within the designated grace period of six months, the space will be permanently deleted.
