Data Retention & Protection

How we secure, retain, and permanently delete your data

Transient Messages

Message content is processed in memory and never stored permanently

End-to-End Encryption

AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit for all data layers

Secure Disposal

Automated rotation and cryptographic deletion of aged data

1. Overview & Philosophy

SyncRivo operates on a 'Privacy by Design' and 'Transient Processing' philosophy. As an enterprise messaging integration layer, our core function is to route data securely between platforms (e.g., Slack to Teams), not to store it indefinitely.

This Data Retention & Protection Policy outlines specifically how long we keep different types of data, the technical measures we use to protect it, and how we ensure secure disposal.

2. Data Classification & Retention Periods

2.1 Message Content & Files (Transient)

We strictly adhere to a transient processing model for customer communication data.

  • Retention: 0 Days (Real-time).
  • Details: Message bodies and file attachments are held in volatile memory only for the duration required to decrypt, reformat, and transmit to the destination platform.
  • Exceptions: If a delivery fails, we may retry for up to 24 hours. After 24 hours (or successful delivery), the content is permanently purged from memory.

2.2 Metadata & Logs

We retain operational metadata for auditing, troubleshooting, and security monitoring.

  • Retention: 90 Days.
  • Details: Includes timestamps, message IDs (not content), sender/receiver user IDs, and routing success/failure status.
  • After 90 days, logs are automatically rotated and permanently deleted.

2.3 Customer Account Data

Information required to maintain your account and active integrations.

  • Retention: Duration of Service + 30 Days.
  • Details: Includes configuration settings, authentication tokens (encrypted), and billing information.
  • Upon account termination, data is kept for a 30-day grace period for recovery, then permanently deleted.

3. Data Protection Measures

We employ defense-in-depth strategies to secure data at rest and in transit.

• Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between SyncRivo, your platforms (Slack, Teams, etc.), and our users is encrypted using TLS 1.2+.

• Encryption at Rest: All persistent data (database, backups, configuration) is encrypted using AES-256.

• Key Management: Encryption keys are managed via AWS KMS with strict rotation policies and role-based access controls.

4. Deletion & Secure Disposal

We ensure that data deletion is permanent and irreversible.

• Database Records: Deleted records are cryptographically erased or overwritten.

• Backups: We maintain encrypted backups for disaster recovery. Data deleted from active systems will age out of backups within 30 days.

• Hardware: As a cloud-native company (running on AWS/GCP), physical disk destruction is managed by our cloud providers in compliance with NIST 800-88.

5. Disaster Recovery & Backups

To ensure service reliability, we perform regular encrypted backups of configuration data.

• Frequency: Daily snapshots.

• Storage: Stored in a geographically separate region from the primary infrastructure to ensure resilience.

• Testing: We conduct quarterly disaster recovery drills to verify data integrity and restoration times.

6. Access Control & Auditing

Access to customer data is strictly controlled and monitored.

• Principle of Least Privilege: Employees are granted access only to the specific resources needed for their role.

• MFA: Multi-Factor Authentication is verified for all internal system access.

• Audit Trails: All access to production environments is logged and reviewed automatically for anomalies.
