Retention policy, enforced in code.
Define how long each category of personal data should be kept. Avaril enforces deletion and anonymization automatically when that period ends — no manual purge jobs, no missed deadlines, no relying on someone to remember.
Policy Definition
Set a retention period per data category — KYC documents, transaction logs, marketing leads, support tickets — from one place. No more retention rules scattered across spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, or a single engineer's memory.
Rule Enforcement via Code
Once a policy is defined, Avaril enforces it automatically at the point of expiry — deleting or anonymizing records without a manual purge job, a cron script someone forgot to monitor, or a quarterly "data cleanup" ticket.
import { avaril } from "@avaril/react" avaril.retention.define({category: "kyc_documents",retainFor: "7y",onExpiry: "anonymize",});How it works
Define the policy
Pick a data category and set how long it should be retained, and what happens when that period ends — deletion or anonymization.
Avaril enforces it
The rule runs in code against your data store on schedule. There's no dependency on someone remembering to run a script.
Get an audit trail
Every enforcement action — what was deleted or anonymized, and when — is logged, so you have proof of compliance if a regulator or auditor asks.
Why this matters under DPDPA
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, a Data Fiduciary must erase personal data once the purpose it was collected for is no longer being served and retention is not required for a specified legal purpose. Retention rules that live in a spreadsheet, or in one engineer's head, don't hold up as evidence of compliance. Avaril turns your retention policy into an enforced, auditable rule so deletion actually happens on schedule.
