I am using the API method to analyze a document using my custom models. Once the analyze is completed, i understand that results URL is available for a period of 48 hours. But what about the document that is being sent? Will it also be stored for 48 hours on the cloud? Also, Are there any parameters that can be passed to ensure that documents are deleted as soon as analyze is completed?

@Prajwal Ainapur Thanks for the question. The Cognitive services give you control over the storage and deletion of any customer data that they store as part of providing the services to you. For services that do not store customer data, the customer data is automatically deleted after processing.
Hi @Ramr-msft , Thank you for the reply. I was able to find in the privacy terms that both the input document as well as the results are deleted within 24 hours. Can you please confirm if that time to delete (i.e. 24 hours) is configurable because I couldn't find any documentation with relevant information for this.
@Prajwal Ainapur Thanks for the details. Are you trying the Prebuilt model or custom model?
@Ramr-msft , i am working on custom models.
@Prajwal Ainapur Thanks, For customer trained models, the customers can delete their models and associated metadata at any time by using the API.
@Ramr-msft my question is not about the models but about the documents sent for Analyze. When i send a pdf document as a byte stream to Analyze API, the privacy terms state that both document and results are deleted within 24 hours. I would like to know if that time frame is configurable. i.e. Can i set that my documents and results be deleted within let's say 15/20 minutes if required to enhance privacy.
@Prajwal Ainapur We have forwarded to the product team to check on the time to delete configuration and will update on the same.
