Google Workspace data deletion

Last updated date:

How to disconnect Google Workspace, remove the Marketplace app, and delete Google-derived information from Seedling.

1. Disconnect in Seedling

Seedling immediately revokes its customer-to-workspace route, stops new jobs, removes managed credential references and Google connections, and purges Directory, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, and Meet data from active systems.

  1. Sign in as an administrator of the affected Seedling workspace.
  2. Open Apps or Connections and select Google Workspace.
  3. Choose Disconnect, review the warning, and confirm.
  4. Wait for the local integration purge to complete before reconnecting the organization.

2. Remove the Marketplace app in Google Admin

Seedling cannot uninstall an administrator-managed Google Workspace app on the customer's behalf. Disconnect in Seedling first when immediate removal is required.

  1. Open the Google Admin console and go to Marketplace apps management.
  2. Locate Seedling and remove it from the organization.
  3. Seedling's periodic licensing reconciliation detects the unlicensed customer, revokes the local route, and runs the same purge used by in-product disconnect.

3. Information removed from active systems

Disconnecting Seedling does not delete or modify the original information retained by Google Workspace.

  • Customer-managed credentials or Marketplace managed-credential references.
  • Google Workspace parent and Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, and Meet child connections.
  • Directory users, groups, memberships, provider staging rows, synchronization records, and per-user sources.
  • Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, and Meet source objects, chunks, embeddings, entitlements, and source-linked derived content.

4. Request deletion without Seedling access

Email privacy@tryseedling.ai from a work address associated with the organization. Include the organization and Seedling workspace if known. Do not send credentials, identity documents, email content, files, or calendar descriptions unless Seedling provides a secure collection method.

Seedling verifies identity and authority before acting and may coordinate with the Seedling customer when it controls the information.

5. What may remain after deletion

Backups
Deleted information may remain in encrypted, access-restricted backups until expiry, ordinarily within 35 days, and is deleted again if restored.
Lifecycle audit
Seedling may retain workspace and connection identifiers, action, outcome, bounded reason codes, and timestamps without Google credentials or raw content.
Legal records
Limited records may remain longer when required for security, disputes, accounting, or other legal obligations.
