 A root encryption key (REK) is another type of key that has the single purpose of encrypting and decrypting KEKs in order to store them in hard storage. Scaleway's Key Manager has one REK per region, which is securely stored in our facilities.
 
+## Scheduled deletion
+
+When you delete a key, it is scheduled for deletion. This lets you mark a key and its version for deletion ahead of time. Instead of immediate deletion, the key enters a 7-day pending deletion period, during which you can still recover it.
+
+During this time, you can read your key version but cannot edit, access, or delete it. After the retention period, the key and its version are permanently deleted.

 ## Symmetric encryption
 
 Symmetric encryption is a fundamental type of cryptographic method where the same key is used to both encrypt and decrypt data. This means that the sender and receiver must have access to the same secret key, which they use to secure their communication.
