# Security & data retention FAQs

This page includes FAQs and troubleshooting information for the Software Engineering Insights module.

#### How long does SEI store data and for what time period can we go back in history in the widgets? <a href="#how-long-does-sei-store-data-and-for-what-time-period-can-we-go-back-in-history-in-the-widgets" id="how-long-does-sei-store-data-and-for-what-time-period-can-we-go-back-in-history-in-the-widgets"></a>

The default historical data backfill is **3 months** when a new integration is created.

#### What is the idle session timeout, and is there a non-idle session timeout? <a href="#what-is-the-idle-session-timeout-and-is-there-a-non-idle-session-timeout" id="what-is-the-idle-session-timeout-and-is-there-a-non-idle-session-timeout"></a>

The idle session timeout is currently set to 3 hours. This means that when a user is inactive for 3 hours, the user interface (UI) will automatically log them out and terminate their session.
