Your data: retention, privacy and deletion
What Avelsta keeps (raw logs, sessions, polars), who can see it, for how long, and how to delete a session, a boat, the trial without an account or your whole account.
The essentials
Your logs, sessions, boats and polars are visible to you only.
| I want to delete… | Where | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| A session | Session ⋯ menu, Delete | The session disappears; its period is locked |
| A boat | Boat sheet, Specifications, Delete this boat… | Boat, sessions, polars, imports and log files deleted |
| The trial without an account | Trial banner, Delete everything | Logs, raw files and trial sessions deleted right away |
| My account | Profile & account, Delete my account | Everything is deleted, permanently |

What is kept
- The raw log files, as uploaded, downloadable from each session’s Source tab.
- The extracted data: measurement points, the boat’s timeline, sessions and their statistics.
- Your polars, sails, sailmaps, segments, checkpoints and notes.
Nothing is shared with other users. The example session is the only session visible to everyone, read-only.
Without an account
The trial is tied to your browser and deleted after 6 hours, raw files included. When you create an account from the trial, your trial data moves to the account.
Deleting your account
In Profile & account, Data section, Delete my account: type your email to confirm. Boats, sessions, polars, imports and raw log files are deleted permanently and irreversibly; there is no backup.
Exporting your data
Exporting all your data from the profile is coming soon. Meanwhile, each session can be exported as GPX and each original log file downloaded from the session: see Export, download, delete.
