Data management and deletion
Data retention and deletion
Basedash Warehouse follows soft deletion practices to maintain data integrity:- Soft deletion - When data sources are removed, data is marked as deleted but preserved in the warehouse
- Fivetran data integrity - This ensures that Fivetran can maintain proper sync history and data lineage
- Automatic cleanup - Removed data sources are automatically deleted after 30 days
- Manual deletion - You can request immediate deletion of data sources if needed
- Global context filtering - The AI automatically filters out deleted data from Fivetran when processing queries, ensuring you only see active, relevant data
Data source removal
When you remove a data source from Basedash:- Immediate effect - The data source is marked as inactive and stops syncing new data
- Data preservation - Existing data remains in the warehouse for 30 days
- Automatic deletion - After 30 days, the data source and its data are automatically removed
- Manual override - Contact support to request immediate deletion if required
Credential access and control
All workspaces have full access to their warehouse credentials:- Self-service access - View and manage your warehouse connection details
- External service integration - Use credentials to connect other tools and services to your warehouse
- Authentication control - Manage who can access your warehouse data
- Credential rotation - Update credentials as needed for security
AI data filtering
Basedash’s AI automatically handles deleted data from Fivetran:- Automatic filtering - When you query your data, the AI automatically excludes records marked as deleted in Fivetran
