# Data retention policy & purge jobs

> Generated from `mcp/patterns.registry.json` — do not edit by hand; change the registry and run `bun run patterns:build`.

_Index card — the docs below are the canonical explanation; deep-tier pattern pages additionally carry invariants and emulation notes._

**Category:** Admin & Privacy · **Tier:** light · **Risk:** medium — retention gaps or over-eager purges both carry compliance/data-loss risk

Scheduled jobs that enforce data-retention policy by purging stale records on a fixed cadence, using the shared backend jobs framework.

**When to use:** Use when a new data domain needs an automatic expiry/purge cycle rather than indefinite retention.
