Digital Document
Archiving

Retention periods vary by document type and jurisdiction. In the EU, tax documents typically must be kept for 5–10 years, employment records for the duration of employment plus several years, and contracts for the limitation period after expiry. Check your local regulations or consult an accountant for specific requirements.

Veluvanto detects important dates inside documents (due dates, expiration dates) and sends reminders. However, it does not currently manage retention policies or automatic deletion schedules. You stay in full control of what you keep and what you delete.

Yes. Veluvanto's built-in OCR reads text from scanned PDFs, photos, and even images of handwritten notes. Once uploaded, scanned documents are fully classified, tagged, and searchable — just like digital originals.

Digital archiving can be GDPR compliant if the system supports access controls and EU data residency. Veluvanto is operated by a Czech EU company with all data stored in the EU — making it well-suited for GDPR-compliant archiving.

Regular document storage is just saving files. Archiving adds structure: classification, audit trails, and searchability. With Veluvanto, archiving happens automatically — AI classifies documents on upload, detects important dates, and full-text search lets you find anything instantly.
