Kaltura Media Storage and Data Retention Guidelines

• We will not remove or flag media that is actively engaged with
• We will not remove media without warning or without consent by the media owner
• Student gradable material will be held for a minimum of 12 months

Our strategy is to start flagging media for deletion when it fits the parameters listed below:

• Content by former staff, faculty and students with 0 plays 13 months after they have left the university
• Meeting and class recordings with 0 plays after 6 months
• Unpublished media with 0 plays after 12 months
• Published media with 0 plays after 48 months
• Media that is over 2 hours long with 0 plays after 12 months
• Copyrighted material

When a media has been flagged for deletion, the media owner will be notified 30 days before removal to ensure they can download and preserve the media if needed.

Downloading Kaltura Media:

You can download Kaltura media from the media's Edit Page. There is a download button in the bottom right corner of the player. You can also request a complete list of download links to all your media by emailing the TLC (tlc@ecuad.ca).
