Segment has a special deduplication service that sits behind the `api.segment.com` endpoint and attempts to drop 99% of duplicate data. Segment stores at least 24 hours worth of event `messageId`s, allowing Segment to deduplicate any data that appears within a 24 hour rolling window.

Segment has a special deduplication service that sits behind the `api.segment.com` endpoint and attempts to drop 99% of duplicate data. To achieve it, Segment stores at least 24 hours worth of event `messageId`s, which allows Segment systems to deduplicate any data that appears with the same `messageId` within the stored values.

Segment deduplicates on the event's `messageId`, _not_ on the contents of the event payload. Segment doesn't have a built-in way to deduplicate data for events that don't generate `messageId`s.
