 * I’d like to know why Forminator is deleting periodically all the submissions 
   of a form I created on my website. I’d prefer to keep all the submissions as 
   an archive, but periodically I found the submissions page empty, even if the 
   preferences are set to never delete them. Any suggestion ?

 * Hi [@fabrymac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabrymac/)
 * Hope you are doing fine.
 * Could you check if the **Settings > Privacy** section in the form is set to “
   Use Default” or “Custom”? If it is set to “Default” you may need to also check
   the Global settings under **Forminator > Settings > Submissions > Forms Privacy
   > Submissions Retention**. If the Global settings are set to not keep submissions,
   then the form may be inheriting the same configuration.
 * Please let us know if this information helps.
 * In case you need additional assistance to review the settings, you can send some
   screenshots of the mentioned sections. Also, you can share a export of the form.
   Please take a look at the following doc:
   [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export)
 * If you are concerned about any sensitive information in the form, then you can
   duplicate it, remove any sensitive information, and then export it. You can share
   the export file via Google Drive, Dropbox or any cloud services in the next reply.
 * Looking forward to your response.
 *  Kind regards
 * Luis

 * Hello [@fabrymac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fabrymac/) ,
 * We haven’t heard from you for over a week now, so it looks like you no longer
   need our assistance.
 * Feel free to re-open this topic if needed.
