How long do files stay on Adobes servers after deleting a file from Acrobat.com?

I deleted a sensitive document from Acrobat.com cloud storage, and I need to know how long before it's completely gone from their system.

Thank you.

    Hi UndeniablyRexer,

    I've learned that deleted files stay on Adobe's server for 30 days. Section 3.3 of  General-terms governs access rights to your content.  It reads:

    3.3 Our Access. We will not access, view, or listen to any of your content, except as reasonably necessary to perform the Services. Actions reasonably necessary to perform the Services may include (but are not limited to) (a) responding to support requests; (b) detecting, preventing, or otherwise addressing fraud, security, unlawful, or technical issues; and (c) enforcing these terms.

    Thank you for the reply.  Where did you find the 30 days number?  I do not see it in the link you provided.

    You're right, it's not listed anywhere in the legalese. I asked a product manager, and that was the information he provided.

    Hi undeniablyrexer,

    I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head, but let me research it for you. I'll be back...
