Which two types of data are NOT retained using Google Workspace Vault?

The correct answer indicates that Calendar entries and off-the-record chats are not retained using Google Workspace Vault. Google Workspace Vault is designed primarily for retaining, searching, and exporting data from Google Workspace services such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Meet, and Google Chat. However, it excludes certain types of data from being retained.

Calendar entries are considered transient data that do not fall under the typical retention policies managed by Vault. In other words, events on a Calendar, especially those that may be set to private or for which invitations are not shared broadly, lack the level of data management for compliance and legal hold that Vault provides.

Off-the-record chats in Google Chat are another type of data not retained by Vault. When users opt for off-the-record mode, conversations are designed for privacy and are specifically not recorded. This is an intentional feature ensuring that users have a space for confidential dialogue without retention for future reference or compliance.

The other options capture types of data that are indeed retained under Vault's policies. Shared documents and emails, Drive files and chat histories, as well as third-party application data and SMS logs (in some instances) are typically managed under Vault to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, making them available for retention and eDiscovery purposes.
