The chronology is drafted. The clock starts once it has been exported.
Archived after 60 days
Read-only and out of the active list. Can be restored.
Deleted 90 days later
Records, extracted text, chronology versions and exports kept here.
Restoring an archived matter cancels its deletion and starts the 60 days again.
An export made after day 60 moves the archive date to 7 days after that export.
A legal hold stops both clocks. After it is released, nothing happens for 30 days.
A matter archived before it was ever exported is never deleted automatically.
A firm contract that sets its own retention replaces these dates.
Kept after deletion: the audit log (no record contents, 7 years), invoices, and a deletion certificate.
