What happens when you disconnect a project
Disconnecting a project ends monitoring and starts removal of everything we hold about it. The split matters, so it is stated plainly: some things stop immediately, and some things are deleted on a short schedule. Nothing continues to be collected after disconnection.
What stops immediately
The moment disconnection completes, scheduled probes cease, any queued or running scan for the project is cancelled, storage scanning stops, and no further alerts are delivered for it. The stored database credential is discarded at once and is not retained in any backup we control.
From that instant RowShield holds no working access to your database. You can verify this independently by rotating or deleting the scanning role the integration used; every subsequent attempt should fail authentication. If you prefer to cut access off from your side first — changing the role's password takes effect immediately — disconnection afterwards simply tidies the record on ours, and the order of the two steps is entirely up to you.
What is deleted, and when
Scan history, findings, verdicts and any stored object listings for the project are removed during the next deletion sweep, which runs daily. After the sweep completes, reconnecting the same project starts from a fresh baseline: previous history is not resurrected, and the first scan after reconnection establishes new comparisons.
Billing follows the project list, so a disconnected project stops counting towards plan limits straight away. Alert rules that referenced only this project become inert rather than half-firing, and destinations keep working for whatever projects remain connected.
If you want everything erased sooner than the sweep, ask support and we will run the deletion manually and confirm when it has finished. The same request covers any edge case worth asking about, because the intent behind disconnection — that leaving takes effect quickly and completely — matters more to us than the mechanics of which nightly job does the sweeping.
