Can we delete our workspace and everything in it ourselves?

In Complipath (complipath.io), an owner or admin can delete the whole workspace from the app, after seeing a row count per table and typing the workspace name. It is removed at once for everyone in it, with the evidence files you uploaded. Nothing in the app brings it back, and sign-ins go too unless the person belongs to another workspace.

What the app says it does

Removes the workspace and everything in it, including the sign-ins of members who belong to no other workspace, after showing you how many rows will go from each table; if you belong to another workspace you land there, still signed in. Tasks, the change history, approval requests, the link-opening log, memberships, rewards, connector tokens, the security list and the GitHub connection go too but are counted only once a pending database update is applied, and only an owner or admin can do it, not while billing is paused or closed.

What it does

Before you confirm, an owner or admin sees a row count per table, zeros included. The counts come from the same database function that does the deleting.
The confirmation is the workspace name, typed. The server checks it again, so a request sent past the screen is refused. A workspace with no name must be named first.
It removes the workspace for everyone in it, and the evidence files you uploaded are removed from storage.
Each person's sign-in is deleted too, unless that person still belongs to another workspace. A record keeps that the deletion happened: the workspace id and counts, no name or email.
If you belong to another workspace you land there, still signed in. Otherwise you are signed out.

What it does not do

There is no undo and no grace period. Nothing in the app brings a deleted workspace back, so download the file first.
It says nothing about what our database host keeps in its own backups, or for how long. We have not read those terms.
The row counts may leave out some tables. Those rows are still removed, through the database's cascade from the workspace, but the list does not show them.
Complipath's own business records, such as invoices and contracts, are not workspace data and are kept as long as bookkeeping law requires. The app's text on this has not been reviewed by a lawyer.
It is refused while billing is paused or closed, and for members who are not an owner or admin. You cannot delete one assessment on its own: deleting a system deletes its assessments.

Which plan

Every plan, including the free first system: the app checks no plan for it.

Where it sits in the law

It is not an EU AI Act duty. It matters to one, because deleting the workspace deletes whatever documentation you keep in it.
Article 18(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689: for a period ending 10 years after a high-risk AI system has been placed on the market or put into service, its provider keeps the technical documentation and the other listed documents at the disposal of the national competent authorities.
Article 18(3): a provider that is a financial institution subject to requirements regarding its internal governance, arrangements or processes under Union financial services law keeps the technical documentation as part of the documentation kept under the relevant Union financial services law.

Questions

Who can delete the workspace?

An owner or an admin, by typing the workspace name after seeing the row counts. Other members see a line telling them to ask an owner, and no counts. The server checks the typed name again, and the delete is refused while billing is paused or closed.

Can we get a deleted workspace back?

No. Nothing in the app brings it back, and there is no grace period, so download the file first. What our database host keeps in its own backups, and for how long, we have not read, so we make no promise about it either way.

What happens to the people in the workspace?

Each person's sign-in is deleted with it, unless that person also belongs to another workspace; then they keep it and are placed in the one they joined first. If that is you, you land there signed in. A record keeps the workspace id and counts, no names.

Which plan includes it?

Every plan, including the free first system: the app checks no plan for it. Free holds one AI system, with no end date. Starter is €499 a month for up to 20 AI systems. Prices exclude VAT. Growth and Scale are not available yet, and nothing here waits for them.
