If an account is not paid and not used more than 30 days then your devices with all your logs may be deleted at any time after it. We usually clean up our servers a few times a year. We can restore your deleted account and/or deleted devices at any time if the right to be forgotten wasn't applied but deleted logs are lost forever and can NOT be restored. This is why we suggest to save your needed data more often during an active subscription/trial. However, we can activate your device for a couple of days if the subscription/trial is expired in order for you to save your old data, just don't let to pass more than 30 days when you contact our helpdesk.
