The work units and tasks are removed from the database shortly after they are completed, verified, and everyone has either timed out or reported. This prevents the DB of work in progress from growing too large and bringing the whole setup down just from the sheer size of that DB. One of the results is transferred to the master science DB where there is an association kept with all of those that helped crunch the data.

Your credit remains with you.
