# Export your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! warn ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    These instructions are specific to the hosted Zulip Cloud service.
 | 
						|
    If you're running your own server, you may be looking for our
 | 
						|
    documentation on [server export and import][export-and-import] or
 | 
						|
    [server backups][production-backups].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Zulip has high quality export tools that can be used to migrate from the hosted
 | 
						|
Zulip Cloud service to your own servers. Two types of data exports are available
 | 
						|
to all Zulip Cloud organizations:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Export of public data**](#export-of-public-data): Complete data for your
 | 
						|
   organization *other than* [private stream](/help/stream-permissions) messages
 | 
						|
   and [direct messages](/help/direct-messages).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Full export with member consent**](#full-export-with-member-consent):
 | 
						|
  Everything in the export of public data, plus all the [private
 | 
						|
  stream](/help/stream-permissions) messages and [direct
 | 
						|
  messages](/help/direct-messages) of members who opt in to have their data
 | 
						|
  exported.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Two additional types of data exports are available to **corporate** [Zulip Cloud
 | 
						|
Standard][standard] customers:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[standard]: https://zulip.com/plans/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Full export without member consent**](#full-export-without-member-consent):
 | 
						|
  All the data in the organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [**Compliance export**](#compliance-export): A targeted, human-readable export
 | 
						|
  of messages matching some combination of criteria (e.g., sender, recipient,
 | 
						|
  message keyword, or timestamp).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Export of public data
 | 
						|

{!admin-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!not-human-export-format.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|data-exports-admin}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Start export of public data**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. After a few minutes, you'll be able to download the export as a `.tar.gz`
 | 
						|
file from that page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Import the tarball using [Zulip's logical data import tool][import-only].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! warn ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Generating the export can take up to an hour for organizations
 | 
						|
    with a large number of messages or uploaded files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Full export with member consent
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!owner-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!not-human-export-format.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In addition to your organization's public data, this export includes all the
 | 
						|
messages received by any user in the organization who consents to the data
 | 
						|
export. In particular, it includes any [private
 | 
						|
stream](/help/stream-permissions) messages and [direct
 | 
						|
messages](/help/direct-messages) where *at least one of the recipients* has
 | 
						|
given consent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Users who do not provide consent will have their settings and stream
 | 
						|
subscriptions exported, but will have no personalized message history.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Email [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) with your
 | 
						|
   organization's `zulipchat.com` URL, asking for a **full export with
 | 
						|
   member consent**. Please send the email from the same address

 | 
						|
1. You will receive an email with instructions on how to collect member consent.
 | 
						|
   Follow the instructions, and notify
 | 
						|
   [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) when the process has been
 | 
						|
   completed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. You will receive an archive in the `.tar.gz` format containing all public
 | 
						|
   information for your organization, plus [private
 | 
						|
   stream](/help/stream-permissions) messages and [direct
 | 
						|
   messages](/help/direct-messages) for users who gave consent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Import the tarball using [Zulip's logical data import tool][import-only].

 | 
						|
   an archive in the `.tar.gz` format containing all the information for your
 | 
						|
   organization.
 | 
						|
 |

## Compliance export
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!owner-only.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This type of export is recommended if you plan to work with the exported data
 | 
						|
directly (e.g., reading messages or processing them with a script), rather than
 | 
						|
importing the export into a new Zulip organization.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!export-without-consent-requirements.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Email [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) asking for a **compliance
 | 
						|
   export**. Please send the email from the same address that you use to sign in
 | 
						|
   to Zulip, so that Zulip Support can verify that you are an owner of the
 | 
						|
   organization. You will need to specify:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      1. The `zulipchat.com` URL for your organization
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      2. What limits you would like on the export.  Currently, compliance
 | 
						|
         exports can apply any combination of the following filters:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         - Message sender
 | 
						|
         - Message recipient
 | 
						|
         - Message contents, by specific keywords
 | 
						|
         - Sent timestamp before, after, or between dates
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         If you need other limits, please ask.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      3. Your preferred format for the export: CSV or JSON.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      4. Whether or not you want to receive copies of all attachments referenced in
 | 
						|
         the exported messages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. You will receive the requested information once your authority to request the
 | 
						|
   export has been verified.
