Segment stores a copy of all event data received in Segment's secure event archives on S3. By default, all workspaces store data for an unlimited period of time, but you can modify the lifecycle policies for the data stored internally. Segment uses this data for [data replays](/docs/guides/what-is-replay/) and for troubleshooting purposes.
