Data retention policy
MindPeers customers and users may request the deletion of their data from our systems. This policy outlines the provisions for handling such requests and explains the steps involved in processing them. For information regarding data backups and the frequency of backups, please refer to the Data Backup Policy.
This policy applies to all data in the possession of MindPeers that has been received from our customers or users. It also covers data collected in relation to MindPeers products or services that are in testing, alpha/beta stages, or part of an early access program.
Data Retention: Data will only be retained in our systems as long as there is a valid reason for storing or processing it. MindPeers does not store Slack message data in its backend. Only messages that are tagged with @MindPeers or use the /mindpeers command are processed and actioned.
Data Deletion Requests: Customers and users have the right to request the deletion of their personal data. These requests must be made directly by the customer or user.
Assessment of Requests: Upon receiving a deletion request, assess the authenticity and legitimacy of the request. For example, if a customer has canceled their contract with MindPeers and requests data deletion, we will honor the request. However, a data deletion request from a customer with an active contract is likely invalid, as deleting the data could disrupt ongoing services.
Anonymization Option: When deleting personal data, consider anonymizing it instead, where possible, unless it conflicts with local laws or customer contracts.
Consultation: If you have any doubts or questions regarding a data deletion request, or if you need clarification about this policy, please contact the Information Security Officer before taking any action.
Policy Versioning: Older versions of company policy documents are retained for at least 6 years for reference and auditing purposes.
MindPeers staff who violate this policy may face disciplinary action, with consequences tailored to the severity of the violation. Management will assess the seriousness of the offense and determine the appropriate penalty. Possible penalties include a warning (oral or written), suspension, or termination for more serious offenses.
