Guest wifi retention

Does anybody know the answer for the below? 
What is the log retention policy of guest wifi browsing traffic? Have read multiple answers varying from 30-90 days before logs are deleted/overwritten. Does anyone know the answer?

It depends, what exactly do you need? Here is a list of log retention periods and other information.

Oh, the guest is a user like any other, so the data retention time will be the same as for your corporate users. Could you explain better what you need?

Reading through the documentation it states Traffic analytics are only available for 1 month? Meaning after the month has lapsed is there anyway possible to see what sites were visited by guest users? Or they have been overwritten/deleted permanently?

The only way to retain data past the storage periods provided by Meraki is to offload the data via the api or syslogs.

As mentioned, to retain logs for longer you need to send the information to a Syslog server.

Is there some way we can look at traffic analytics logs from before the guest user was connected to the network to see what websites\urls they were visiting on company time?
