If you currently have an extended retention period in place, Segment will continue to honor the previously agreed upon retention period. If your business requires a longer retention period, please contact your sales team to discuss available options.

32
-
1.**Event data:** Applicable to all customers that collect [events](/docs/connections/spec/) in Segment from sources for delivery to Unify/Engage or third party destinations.
33
-
2.**Object data**: Applicable to all customers that collect object data in Segment from third party [Cloud Sources](/docs/connections/sources/about-cloud-sources/) or from the [Objects API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-api/), [Set API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-api/#set), or [Bulk API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/object-bulk-api/). Object data is also created and updated by aggregating data from Segment’s [Identify](/docs/connections/spec/identify/) and [Group](/docs/connections/spec/group/) events.
34
-
3.**Profile Events data**: Applicable to all Unify, Unify+, Engage and Linked customers that collect streaming Event data for building a Profile in Segment Unify.
35
-
4.**Audit Events**: Applicable to all customers. Segment generates and stores audit events from Segment app user actions.
36
-
5.**HIPAA Audit**: Applicable to all Business Tier customers with the “Segment for Healthcare” add-on. In addition to standard Audit events, Segment generates and stores more granular Segment app user actions events for customers with the “Segment for Healthcare" add-on.
