Data Retention Policy

The platform stores operational records in self-hosted JSON directories, including nominations, sponsors, inductees, payments, verification records, uploads, AI content, email queue records, media records, events, settings, and logs.

Approved public records may be retained for long-term authority, verification, certificates, badges, media archives, and SEO/AEO continuity. Rejected or suspicious submissions may be retained in private logs for fraud prevention, audit trails, and brand protection.

Deletion, correction, and removal requests may be reviewed against legal, payment, event, audit, editorial, and platform integrity requirements.
