• Data Retention Period: Xero generally retains archived data for up to seven years to align with common business record-keeping requirements, though this may vary by region.
• Subscription Fee Required: While Xero doesn't charge for data storage of a cancelled account, a subscription fee is required to regain access to the data when you reactivate.
• Temporary Access: If you only need temporary access (e.g., to export data), you can reactivate the subscription and then immediately cancel it again. You will continue to have access for the one-month cancellation notice period.
• Exporting Data: Xero recommends that customers export key data and reports before cancelling their subscription as a best practice for record-keeping.
