Data Sovereignty

Your data, your right to leave. Export everything your community has created, or permanently delete the community when you're done.

Open it from Admin -> Data sovereignty (the route is /admin/sovereignty).

What you can do here

  • Click Export everything (ZIP) to generate a full archive of members, channels, messages, posts, courses, events, modules, billing history, and audit logs.
  • Watch the progress bar while the archive is built, then download it when ready.
  • Review Previous exports with their file size, age, expiry, and a Download button.
  • In the Danger zone, type your community slug to confirm, then Schedule deletion with a grace period (default 30 days).
  • Cancel deletion any time during the grace period to keep your community.

Tips

  • Download links are valid for 7 days, then auto-deleted from the servers.
  • Member user accounts are not deleted, and OAuth/email tokens are excluded from exports for security.
  • The admin panel overview
