One thing we intentionally avoided was long-term storage. Many file tools quietly retain inputs longer than users expect.

Our default model is:

Source deleted immediately after processing

Converted output expires after 24h

Logs retained up to 30 days (metadata only)

No file contents stored in logs

If anyone here runs file-processing infrastructure, I’d genuinely love to know — what retention window do you consider reasonable for this category?
