Data retention policy
We hold ourselves to the following policies, unless otherwise prevented by legal or compliance requirements:
- Do not save customer data that we do not need
- Delete customer data after it is no longer necessary to possess (This should be done within a year of the data no longer being required)
- Data backups shall be deleted on a 60 day rolling schedule to ensure that any deleted data that is truly not needed is removed from all Silly Moose systems
- Customer requests for data deletion are to be honored, barring any particular legal or compliance issues (Requested data will be deleted from our running data stores within 30 days and will be removed from all our data stores within 90 days)
Data archiving and removal policy
We follow the requirements below:
- Regular policy review of our cloud providers to ensure that they properly delete data stored in their environments
- All systems and removable storage media being required must have all data be securely deleted prior to the device completing the retirement process
- The erasure process should follow the DoD 5220.22-M standard
- If possible, the storage device should be physically destroyed after secure erasure
