UCSD's Data Retention Policy for Kaltura Media

Every Kaltura user at UCSD has unlimited media storage with our partner Kaltura. However, content will not be kept in the cloud indefinitely unless it's viewed every so often.

All content uploaded to Kaltura must be in support of teaching and learning at UC San Diego. Media that is clearly not related to this mission may be subject to deletion.

UCSD-Kaltura Data Retention Policy

Your multimedia content will remain in Kaltura's cloud indefinitely. However, your content must be viewed briefly at least once every couple of years. Below are the two triggers of which to be aware:

  1. If your Kaltura media has not been viewed for 2 years, the entry's flavors (alternate quality versions) will be deleted. The source (the original file that was uploaded to Kaltura) will remain. The system will send you an email warning you that this will occur one week prior to the 2-year mark.
  2. If your Kaltura media has not been viewed for 4 years, the entry will be deleted entirely. The system will send you an email warning you that this will occur one week prior to the 4-year mark.
