General

Privacy & data governance

Data retention policy

Our employees must protect our records, whether marked as confidential or not. Electronic records will be protected by passwords, firewalls and other security settings (both locally and in the cloud.) Employees are responsible for keeping these records intact. For example, if an employee shares a Google spreadsheet, they must decide whether to give colleagues permission to edit, view or comment. Employees should not grant editing privileges unless necessary. Also, when employees access electronic, confidential records outside of our offices, they should ensure that both their devices and networks are secure. They should not leave their screens and devices unattended while logged in to our company’s accounts. After the bot has been deleted and data retention period of 30 days has passed, we delete all Karma records related to the team that stopped using the bot completely and actively deleted it from its workspace. Such digital 'shredding' is done once a day automatically.

Data archiving and removal policy

Records may also be discarded upon request from a stakeholder. For example, a customer or partner may ask us to delete their information from our databases. In this case, managers should authorise employees to discard relevant records. We expect our employees to always respect our confidentiality policy. When files need to be discarded, employees must not create copies or store information on their devices. This may constitute a security breach and warrant disciplinary action. At any moment a customer with admin/owner rights and access to `Billing page > Danger zone` can reset and delete all data stored at Karma. This process is irreversible. All data related to deleted users gets anonymised. We keep Karma points, but completely anonymise the profile.

Data storage policy

Karma's product security team has built a robust secure development lifecycle, which primarily leverages GitLab CI/CD. All identified vulnerabilities are validated for accuracy, triaged, and tracked to resolution. All data transmitted between Karma clients and the Karma service ("Data in transit") is done so using strong encryption protocols. Karma supports the latest recommended secure cypher suites to encrypt all traffic in transit, including the use of TLS 1.3 protocols, AES256 encryption, and SHA2 signatures. We utilise CloudFlare to enhance encryption and security. Data at rest in Karma's production network uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to encrypt data at rest. AES is widely used because both AES256 and AES128 are recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for long-term storage use (as of November 2015), and AES is often included as part of customer compliance requirements. In addition to the storage system level encryption described above, in most cases data is also encrypted at the storage device level, with at least AES128 for hard disks (HDD) and AES256 for new solid state drives (SSD), using a separate device-level key (which is different than the key used to encrypt the data at the storage level). As older devices are replaced, solely AES256 will be used for device-level encryption. See the diagram at https://karmabot.readme.io/docs/karmabot-security-documentation
