Satori Data Deletion Policy - Satori Documentation

Satori Data Deletion Policy

Satori’s Data Deletion Policy ("Deletion Policy") describes how our customers' service data is deleted with respect to the cancellation or termination of an account in the Satori service or with respect to deletion of data under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which comes into force in May 2018. This document explains the rights of data subjects in relation to data deletion and the responsibilities of Satori in responding with such requests.

Individual Rights

Individuals have the right to erasure, also known as "the right to be forgotten". The principle underpinning this right is to enable individuals to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. Individuals have a right to have personal data deleted and to prevent processing in the following circumstances:

Service Data

Satori keeps two types of data for each customer account:

Configuration Data

Data Access Metadata

Consists of various fields that describe the activity of accessing data to the data stores protected by the Satori service. For a full list of fields, see Metadata Shared from Data Access Controllers with the Management Console.

Deletion of Service Data

When an account is cancelled or terminated, configuration data is immediately "soft deleted" by moving it from the primary data set of the management console database to a secondary data set that is not accessed by the management console application or APIs.

90 Day Holding Period

The data is kept in the secondary data set for a period of 90 days in service of any customer-related inquiries that might arise after an account is cancelled or terminated, afterwards it's "hard-deleted" from the secondary data set.

Hard Delete

When an account is cancelled or terminated, data access metadata is immediately "hard-deleted".
