Purchases
Keep an owner's manual as long as you own what it is for, and a year after.
It goes with the thing itself. Once the thing is sold, given away or scrapped, a year covers any question that follows the sale.
What it is
Owner's manual is a manual under Purchases.
What Thaw takes off the page
Manufacturer · Product · Model
Every value is copyable and correctable, and a correction is never overwritten. Numbers that identify you (account and policy numbers, VINs) stay sealed and are blanked from search.
When to shred
A year after you no longer own what it is for. Tell Thaw the thing is gone and the retention date is set from that day.
Also under Purchases
Receipt · Return or refund · Subscription · Travel confirmation · Warranty · Gift card · Every kind
