What Engagedly costs, what is included and how you leave

The suite also holds one-to-one meetings. A basic services package covers set-up, training and ongoing support. It is part of every purchase.

During the term, administrators and managers can export review forms as PDF. Administrators can schedule reports to land in a secure file transfer folder. After the term, Engagedly returns or deletes your data on request under the data processing agreement. That holds up to the end date and for 90 days after. The second terms page gives you access to your data for 120 days after the contract ends. Ask which figure applies.
