I've just published a protoXEP to expose a lot of information on data policy, as part of my current @nlnet grant. The plan is to have services (XMPP server, gateways, etc) expose to clients how long they keep data, if they encrypt, how they handle authentication, who can access data, what is backup frequency, where data are located, etc.

This is very precious information when you use a service.

I now want to expose in a easy way this to end-users.

It'd be pretty neat if it could tell you what the defaults and your current settings are. I remember reading that clients could adjust some of the retention time periods.

But I'm not sure where to check that.

@alienghic this specification is more for services than clients (even if technically a client could return this data). For clients this should be in your client settings.
