Retention & Deletion · Restriction or exception

Free-trial data and customizations are permanently lost unless the Customer buys a matching Service or exports them

Any data the Customer enters, and any customizations made, during a free trial will be permanently lost unless, before the end of the trial period, the Customer purchases a subscription to the same Services as those covered by the trial, purchases applicable upgraded Services, or exports the data. Data and customizations cannot be transferred to a Service that would be a downgrade from the trial (for example Enterprise Edition to Professional Edition), so a Customer buying a downgraded Service must export Customer Data before the trial ends or it will be permanently lost.
