# 30030: Invalid AddressRetention

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This error means the `AddressRetention` value in your message request is invalid. Use this parameter only to control whether Twilio stores or obfuscates the address for a message. Supported values are `retain` and `obfuscate`.

### Possible causes

* You passed a value for `AddressRetention` other than `retain` or `obfuscate`.
* Your account is not enabled or configured for Message Privacy features.

### Possible solutions

* Update your request to use a supported `AddressRetention` value. Use `retain` to keep the address available, or use `obfuscate` to redact it.
* If you need message privacy controls on your account, enable and configure Message Redaction before sending requests with privacy overrides.
* If you use a Messaging Service with phone number redaction, review your Message Redaction configuration and make sure the service is set up to support privacy features.
