Deletion Request Settings

Server administrators can configure how Clocky handles a member's request to delete data from the current server.

Available settings

Use /admin-configure-deletion to view or update the stored server configuration:

/admin-configure-deletion view-config
/admin-configure-deletion set-policy policy:immediate
/admin-configure-deletion set-policy policy:requires_approval
/admin-configure-deletion set-grace-period days:30
/admin-configure-deletion enable-legal-retention enabled:false
/admin-configure-deletion set-retention-years years:7

Only members who pass Clocky's server-administrator permission check can change these settings.

Immediate handling

With the immediate path, /data-delete current-server presents a warning button and then requires the requesting user to type DELETE. The confirmed operation targets that user's work and break records in the current server.

The all-servers deletion command always uses its own immediate confirmation path rather than one server's policy.

Admin review

With requires_approval, /data-delete current-server creates a pending request. Administrators can use:

/admin-review-deletion-requests list
/admin-review-deletion-requests review request-id:123

The review response shows the request's current status, a data summary, and the actions available in the bot.

Grace and retention fields

Clocky stores grace-period and legal-retention configuration fields and exposes them in the administrator commands. The public documentation does not promise automatic reminders, cancellation windows, scheduled deletion, archival, restoration, or a particular legal outcome from those fields.

Before relying on a deletion workflow for an organizational requirement, test the complete request and review flow in the current deployment and consult appropriate legal guidance.

See Data Deletion for the member-facing commands.
