## Retention
## Retention
Data stored in PEP are never overwritten. When users upload data into PEP, the system also retains any data that were previously stored at the same location. PEP can thus reconstruct its state as it was at any point in the past, allowing the exact same data set to be retrieved multiple times. This makes PEP eminently usable for the distribution of data for academic (replication) studies.
