Love posthog in many ways, but confused and a non-starter that they don’t support any data deletion yet.

i.e., if you want user analytics to be auto-deleted after 90 days, there’s literally no way to do that yet.

Hi, PostHog co-founder here. We support deletion of individual users and entire projects, so it's inaccurate to say we "don't support any data deletion". We also TTL recordings after 1 month for free users and 3 months for paid users. You're right that we don't have a way of TTL-ing out events data automatically.

We have had some requests [0]for this though it hasn't been requested that often hence we haven't prioritised this. We've recently improved some of our tooling around this so should be easier for us to ship.

Lol what?? What's their retention policy?
