 * Planning to run this on a new blog. Does the free firewall auto-delete old log
   data after a month? Trying to keep my database clean because my shared host has
   strict size limits. Any insights would be awesome.

 * Hi [@kyleighmoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyleighmoe/), thanks for
   getting in touch.
 * Some data the plugin uses is truncated every time an operation (such as a scan)
   starts. Live Traffic data that the firewall has observed can be configured to
   clear out more often, but is 30 days by default: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/tools/live-traffic/#amount-of-live-traffic-data-to-store-number-of-rows](https://www.wordfence.com/help/tools/live-traffic/#amount-of-live-traffic-data-to-store-number-of-rows)
