Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A system for performing deletion of geographically distributed data within a group-based communication system, the system comprising:
a client device;
a local repository physically located in a first geographic area;
a geographic data residency repository physically located in a second geographic area distinct from the first geographic area;
a processor programmed to perform a method for deletion of geographically distributed data, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, from the client device, a message deletion request comprising a message identifier;
locating a first repository row comprising message metadata and residency token data associated with the message identifier within the local repository;
upon locating the first repository row, initiating a local repository row erasure operation by which contents of the first repository row are erased from the local repository; and
upon completion of the local repository row erasure operation, transmitting a data residency deletion request to a geographic data residency server associated with the residency token data, the data residency deletion request comprising the residency token data and indicating an expiration window of a data residency repository row associated with the residency token data, and
wherein, upon lapsing of the expiration window, the data residency deletion request is configured to initiate an erasure operation by which the contents of the data residency repository row are erased from the geographic data residency repository comprising the data residency repository row.
