Automatically Delete Sensitive Guest Data

Configure automatic deletion of sensitive guest data after checkout to support security and data retention requirements.

Overview

Sensitive Data Retention helps reduce how long guest payment and online check-in information is stored in Resly after a reservation has checked out.

When enabled, Resly runs a daily task that removes eligible sensitive data from checked-out reservations after the number of days configured by the Property Manager.


What is Deleted

Resly automatically deletes:

  • Stored credit card details

  • Online check-in information

  • Uploaded identification documents

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

This only affects data stored in Resly. It does not remove records already exported, downloaded, printed, emailed, or stored outside Resly.


When Data is Deleted

Data is deleted after the configured number of days has passed from the reservation checkout date. The default will be 180 days if not set by the Property.

Example: if the setting is 90 days, Resly will delete sensitive data from reservations that checked out 90 or more days ago.

Reservations are not processed if they:

  • Have not checked out

  • Are still within the retention period

  • Do not have a valid checkout date
