You can take your workspace data out of TalkValue at any time. CSV is the default format, and the CLI handles repeatable scripted exports. The dashboard surfaces the same data in tables, and account-level portability requests are handled by support.

​
What you can export

DataWhere it lives in TalkValueHow to export
People (contacts)Path → PeopleDashboard CSV export, or talkvalue path person export
EventsBadge → Events / Path → EventsDashboard tables, or person list --json filtered by event
Event attendees and check-insBadge → Event detailtalkvalue path event person-export
Channels and tagsPath → Channels, TagsDashboard tables
Spark digest historySpark → DigestDashboard tables
Account identity (your name, email, avatar reference)Profile and identity providerSupport request
The exports give you the underlying data as you put it in plus what TalkValue derives (de-duplication keys, channel attribution). They don’t include behavioral analytics summaries (those are recomputed on import).

​
People export

Two paths, same data. From the CLI. The fastest repeatable export is: 
talkvalue path person export > people.csv
The command streams every person in the active workspace as CSV to stdout. Columns match the dashboard’s CSV export. Pipe it into a transformer, save it to a file, or schedule it from a cron job. Full details in talkvalue path person export. From the dashboard. Open Path → People. The page header has an export action that emits the same CSV. For a filtered subset, apply the filter on the page first; the CSV reflects the current filtered view.

​
Event attendees export

Badge attendee export currently goes through the CLI; the attendees table in the dashboard doesn’t surface a UI button for it. Run talkvalue path event person-export <eventId> to emit a CSV with every attendee row, check-in status, check-in time and station, and any fields imported from Eventbrite or Luma. For an event still being checked in, export at the end for the final state.

​
Round-trip exports (CLI)

The CLI gives you both halves of the round-trip when you need to export, transform externally, and re-import. See Recipe: CSV import for the canonical pattern, or use talkvalue path person list --json for structured output when CSV columns aren’t enough.

​
Account-level portability

For a full account-level portability package (everything tied to your account across every workspace, in a single bundle), email support@trytalkvalue.com from the account email. Include the account email, your preferred format (JSON, CSV, or both), and the workspaces to include (or “all”). Support replies within 2 business days and delivers a signed download link valid for 7 days. The package is account-scoped: it captures data tied to your account, not the entire workspace. For a full workspace bundle, use the per-resource exports above as the workspace Admin.

​
Retention after deletion

When you delete a workspace (General → Delete workspace), data is removed from the live application immediately and purged from backups within the standard retention window. After the purge, the data cannot be restored. When you delete your account, your account identity is removed and your memberships are dropped from every workspace. Workspace data you created stays with the workspaces, attributed to a deleted-account placeholder for audit-log integrity. Request a full data wipe explicitly if you want every trace removed. Export anything you want to keep before either deletion. There is no undo window once the deletion completes.
