Audit Trail for Data Retention

Regulators and internal audit ask for proof that data was removed under a documented rule. Data Retention writes a native Salesforce audit trail for every deletion cycle—not a spreadsheet maintained by hand.

What gets logged

Deletion events are stored in managed custom objects inside your org (for example Deletion_Audit_Log__c—exact API names follow your package version). Typical fields captured include:

  • Record ID and object type deleted
  • Timestamp and executing user or system context
  • Business rule / retention policy that triggered the deletion
  • Field values or snapshot captured before deletion (where configured)
  • Status and outcome of the deletion attempt

Export & review

Audit data is queryable with standard Salesforce reports and list views. For supervisory review, export to CSV or PDF depending on your configuration and reporting tools.
