Data export & erasure

Your data is yours: export your documents and account data on demand, and have it erased for good when you no longer need it with us.

5 min readUpdated 18 Jun 2026

The principle: your data is portable

waxTable is where you draft the documents that win and run your work — but it should never be a place your data gets trapped. You can take your documents with you, and you can ask us to delete what we hold.

Data you can't get out of a tool isn't really yours. Export and erasure are rights, not favours.

Exporting your documents

The most common export is the document itself. Any finished document can be downloaded as a PDF — the same paginated output you'd send to a client.

  1. Open the document

    Open it in the paged editor.

  2. Download a PDF

    Use the export option to produce a print-ready PDF — see export and download PDFs.

  3. Repeat across a project

    Work through a project's documents to keep a full local copy of an engagement.

Exporting account and project data

If you need more than individual PDFs — for example, a broader export of your workspace data for a migration or a subject access request — we can help arrange it.

  • Tell us the scope: a project, a workspace, or data relating to a particular person.
  • We'll confirm what's available and the format we can provide.
  • Start the request through contact support or email support.

Erasing your data

When you no longer need data in waxTable, you can delete documents and projects within your workspace, or ask us to erase your account data entirely.

  • Delete individual documents and projects from within your workspace.
  • Request full erasure of your account data when you close your account.
  • Ask for deletion of data relating to a specific individual, where you're acting on their request.

What we may retain — and why

Erasure removes your content, but a careful service keeps a small amount of information for legitimate reasons: to meet legal and tax obligations, to maintain financial records for billing, and to keep the tamper-evident audit trail intact.

For example, billing records connected to your invoices may be retained as required for tax — see invoices and tax IDs. For the precise scope of what's deleted and what's retained, our processing terms and the DPA are the source of truth.

Frequently asked questions

How do I export a single document?

Open it in the editor and download a PDF — see export and download PDFs. It matches exactly what you'd send.

Can I get all my workspace data at once?

For a broader export beyond individual PDFs, email support with the scope, and we'll confirm what we can provide and in what format.

If I delete a document, is it really gone?

Deletion removes the content and is irreversible. The audit log still records that the deletion happened — see the audit log.

What happens to my data if I close my account?

You can request erasure of your account data. We may retain limited records — such as billing data — where the law requires it. The DPA sets out the detail.

Someone asked me to delete their personal data. Can you help?

Yes. If you're acting on an individual's request, contact support and we'll help you locate and erase the relevant data.
