## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How long are session history and recordings stored?">
    **We store session history and recordings indefinitely.** However, all session history and recordings will be permanently deleted if you choose to [delete your account](https://docs.retellai.com/accounts/account#delete-your-account).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What format are call recordings in?">
    Call recordings are delivered as **WAV** audio files hosted on Retell's S3 bucket. After a call ends, you can retrieve them from the call object's recording fields:

    * `recording_url` — single-channel mixed recording of the call.
    * `recording_multi_channel_url` — same recording with each party's audio on a separate channel (useful for diarization and downstream analysis).
    * `scrubbed_recording_url` and `scrubbed_recording_multi_channel_url` — PII-redacted versions (PII intervals are replaced with a beep). Available when [PII scrubbing](/accounts/privacy-disable) is enabled.

    If your account has [Opt-Out of Personal and Sensitive Data Storage](/features/webhook-overview#privacy) enabled, the `recording_url` link is only valid for 10 minutes after the call ends — download or persist the file within that window.
