Documents you analyse are processed in your browser and are never uploaded or stored. We keep identifiers only (file name, size, type, SHA-256 hash and extracted indicators). See data handling for a short overview.
2. Information we collect
- Account details you give us: email, first and last name, and optionally your organisation.
- Case data you create: case titles and descriptions (encrypted at rest), source identifiers and extracted indicators.
- Forum posts and bug reports you submit.
- Security data: sign-in events, a truncated hash of your IP address, browser user-agent for active sessions.
