Your Personal Workspace Vault
While model inference is stateless and zero-retention, you need your notes, documents, memory facts, and chat threads preserved across sessions.
In ARMES, this data lives in your Secure User Vault, powered by Row-Level Security (RLS) and encrypted database storage.

Hard Deletion Rules
When you choose to delete an item in ARMES, we execute hard deletions, not obfuscated soft-delete flags:
| Action | What Happens to Your Data |
|---|---|
| Delete Message | Permanently deleted from the active database in real time. |
| Delete Chat Thread | Permanently deletes the conversation and all associated message rows and temporary attachments. |
| Delete Note | Permanently removed from your knowledge base and folder structure. |
| Delete Persistent File | File record is removed, and the underlying document is permanently deleted from active storage. |
| Delete Memory Fact | Fact is permanently removed from your memory ledger and semantic search indexing. |
7-Day Rolling Disaster Backups
To protect against catastrophic infrastructure failure or hardware corruption:
- Encrypted, point-in-time recovery backups are maintained for 7 days.
- These backups are automated, strictly access-controlled, encrypted with separate disaster recovery keys, and overwrite themselves on a rolling 7-day cycle.
- When an account or content deletion is requested, active production databases purge immediately, and backup remnants age out completely within 7 days.
Complete Account Deletion
You can permanently delete your entire ARMES account and all associated data at any time:
- Go to Settings → Security & Privacy.
- Scroll to the bottom and click Delete Account Permanently.
- Confirm by typing requested text to lock in intent to delete.
- Your user record, notes, files, chats, memory ledger, agents, history, and handles are immediately purged from active systems.
