How are data retention policies implemented in Foundry?

• A. Data retention policies are implemented as part of Foundry's governance framework.
• B. Data retention is not supported in Foundry.
• C. Data retention policies are configured only at the dataset level with no governance.
• D. Policies are implemented manually per user.

Answer: (A)

Data retention in Foundry is handled through the governance framework, not as a manual per-dataset or per-user task. This means retention rules are defined centrally and enforced across data assets, ensuring consistent application of time windows and actions (such as delete, archive, or anonymize) when data reaches its end of life. The governance layer provides automated enforcement, audit trails, and visibility into how long data is kept, which supports compliance and lifecycle management across projects and environments. Because retention is part of governance, it can be applied uniformly rather than being configured individually for each dataset or user.
