before being automatically deleted (the default being forever).
Zulip's system supports:
* Setting a retention policy for individual streams, to just delete
messages on those specific streams.
* Setting an organization-level policy, and a "forever" policy for
specific streams, to preserve messages indefinitely on those
streams, while automatically deleting both PMs and messages sent to
other streams.
* Setting an organization-level retention policy, which applies to
all private messages and all streams without a specific policy.
* Setting a retention policy for individual streams, which overrides
the organization-level policy for that stream. This can be used to
just delete messages on specific streams, to only retain messages
forever on specific streams, or just to have a different retention
period.
In Zulip Cloud, message retention policies are available on the Zulip
Cloud Standard and Zulip Cloud Plus [plans](https://zulip.com/plans),
as well as for the hundreds of communities with sponsored Cloud
Standard hosting. Contact support@zulip.com if you're on one of
these plans and would like to enable it.
