When you install Intercom on your site, we automatically track and store certain standard data fields on users which are core to our service. You can opt to collect additional data, such as social profiles, and you can define and send Intercom the custom data that matters most to your business.
How we expire data
To ensure we comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we automatically expire data we don’t have a requirement or use for.
We expire data for visitors who have not been seen for 9 months. We will automatically delete the entire record and event history of visitors who have not visited your site in 9 months.
If a visitor returns after 9 months they will be treated like a new visitor.
This change only impacts visitor data – your user data is unaffected.
