CSVbox offers three configurations for handling user data. Choose the one that matches your privacy and retention requirements.
Standard mode
This is the default configuration. User data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The data is pushed to your system, and a copy of it is stored in the CSVbox database.
The copy is auto-deleted after one month. Your system can access the data from the CSVbox datastore any time during this month. Optionally, the data is also available in the client browser.
No store mode
In this mode, the user data isn’t stored in the CSVbox database. It’s pushed directly to your system. Optionally, the data is also available in the client browser.
Metadata that describes the import is stored in CSVbox. This includes data such as Import ID, Import Start Time, End Time, Sheet ID, etc.
To activate this mode, go to your CSVbox dashboard → Edit Sheet → Security tab, and for File Delete Policy select Do not store the file.
Private mode
In Private Mode, the user data doesn’t transit CSVbox servers and isn’t stored in our databases. The data is processed in the client browser and is available for consumption there. You can then push the data to your system by implementing custom code.
