My understanding is that Slack doesn't make >90 days available to non-paying users, so by your statement above, they're required by GDPR to delete that history.
- londons_explore 2y agoYep... And that might be why they're doing it. They also have the option to make the data available but in an inconvenient form - like for example 'sure, you can access your data vault, but it'll be CSV files of chats that you have to download one by one'. Google Takeout is basically that, since nearly all the data isn't readily usable by most users.
- trashtester 2y agoThat requires extra effort, though. They may even need to set up a team dedicated to serving such requests. It's not obvious that it's worth the effort.
