How long do you keep my project and files?
Seven-day preview expiry, 90-day download storage and what happens when you buy or delete a project.
An unpaid preview expires seven days after the project is created. Buying a download, including using an eligible free clip, clears that preview expiry. Syncing alone does not clear it.
Projects and download files
| Item | What happens |
|---|---|
| Unpaid preview | Expires after seven days. Opening it or changing its style does not restart the clock. |
| Project with a download purchase | Keeps its project records and source files without the unpaid-preview expiry, unless deleted. |
| Finished cloud download files | The storage rule is 90 days. Keep your own copy. |
| Account-data export | Its download expires after one hour. You can request another. |
The app checks expired unpaid projects hourly. It skips active jobs and retries failed cleanup later, so seven days is the expiry time, not a promise that every copy disappears at that instant. The storage rules separately clear temporary uploads after seven days and scratch files after one day.
Downloading again
Check the date in Your videos and save finished files somewhere you control. Keep your original recording, lyrics and artwork too.
If a purchased file is no longer available and the project remains, Prepare again (free) recreates that order from its saved choices. It does not include edits made after the order. See Downloading again.
An optional reminder can arrive in the last 24 hours before preview expiry when reminders are enabled. Do not rely on receiving it.
Deleting data
You can delete a song or your account from Your account controls. Financial and related audit records can remain after deletion. The draft Privacy page identifies retention and provider details still under review; this guide does not promise a backup-deletion deadline.
