Retention & deletion
After a subscription expires or ends, customer data can generally be downloaded for another 30 days. BambooHR then deletes the customer data from the service unless legal obligations or additional terms require otherwise. The 30-day download period does not apply to termination for nonpayment or certain contractual violations. Data from BambooHR Payroll may be retained for seven years.
GDPR compliance is supported through EU/EEA hosting via Ireland; a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available through the Trust Center. HIPAA is not supported out of the box; do not store PHI. The Trust Center lists SOC 1/2, PCI DSS Scope, and participation in the Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Pricing Model
On request
Compensation Management is a paid add-on within BambooHR and is offered through sales. Total BambooHR pricing typically varies by employee count and selected modules (PEPM). Third-party estimates cite a flat rate of approximately $250/month for up to 25 employees, followed by around $12–$22 PEPM (US); for the United Kingdom, approximately £5–£10 PEPM depending on the package. Regional quotes may be in USD, GBP, CAD, or EUR. Depending on the package, annual or monthly terms may be available; negotiating renewal clauses and bundled add-ons is recommended.
Implementation
Prepare the data model (positions, levels, salary bands), define budget guidelines and approval workflows, and plan for change management. Involve an Implementation Specialist to configure permissions and approvals with precision.
