When [creating](../quickstarts/create-communication-resource.md) an Azure Communication Services resource, you specify a **geography** (not an Azure data center). All chat messages, and resource data stored by Communication Services at rest will be retained in that geography, in a data center selected internally by Communication Services. Data may transit or be processed in other geographies. These global endpoints are necessary to provide a high-performance, low-latency experience to end-users no matter their location.

Any Event Grid system topic configured with Azure Communication Services will be created in a global location. To support reliable delivery, a global Event Grid system topic may store the event data in any Microsoft data center. When you configure Event Grid with Azure Communication Services, you're delivering your event data to Event Grid, which is an Azure resource under your control. While Azure Communication Services may be configured to utilize Azure Event Grid, you're responsible for managing your Event Grid resource and the data stored within it.

## Relating humans to Azure Communication Services identities

Your application manages the relationship between human users and Communication Service identities. When you want to delete data for a human user, you must delete data involving all Communication Service identities correlated for the user.

There are two categories of Communication Service data:

-**API Data.** This data is created and managed by Communication Service APIs, a typical example being Chat messages managed through Chat APIs.

-**Azure Monitor Logs** This data is created by the service and managed through the Azure Monitor data platform. This data includes telemetry and metrics to help you understand your Communication Services usage. This is not managed by Communication Service APIs.

Azure Communication Services maintains a directory of identities, use the [DeleteIdentity](/rest/api/communication/communication-identity/delete?tabs=HTTP) API to remove them. Deleting an identity will revoke all associated access tokens and delete their chat messages. For more information on how to remove an identity [see this page](../quickstarts/identity/access-tokens.md).

Chat threads and messages are kept for 90 days unless explicitly deleted by the customer sooner due to their internal policies. Customers that require the option of keeping messages longer need to submit [a request to Azure Support](../../azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request.md).

Azure Communication Services will feed into Azure Monitor logging data for understanding operational health and utilization of the service. Some of these logs include Communication Service identities and phone numbers as field data. To delete any potentially personal data [use these procedures for Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/logs/personal-data-mgmt.md). You may also want to configure [the default retention period for Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/logs/data-retention-archive.md).
