What this policy covers
This page covers the hosted Meeting Mouse app for Slack, the one you add from meetingmouse.net and that runs at app.meetingmouse.net. Meeting Mouse is also open-source software. If someone else runs their own copy, they decide what happens to its data, and this page does not apply to it.
Archival
We do not archive your data. Meeting Mouse keeps its data in one production database until the data is deleted. Nothing is moved to cold storage, exported to another system, or kept in a separate archive after its retention period ends.
The only other copies are the ones our providers keep for recovery: the database provider's restore history, which covers a rolling window of at most 30 days, and the hosting provider's request logs. We use the restore history only to recover from a failure.
What triggers a removal
| Trigger | What is removed | When |
|---|---|---|
| A workspace removes Meeting Mouse | Everything stored for that workspace: its polls, the answers, the stored names and time zones, and the access token | At once, when Slack reports the removal |
| An organizer deletes a poll | The poll, the times it offered and every answer on it | At once |
| A retention period ends | Polls and stored profile copies that are past their period | Within a day, by a scheduled job |
| A person asks us to delete their data | That person's answers on every poll in the workspace, and the stored copy of their name and time zone | Within 30 days of the request |
How data is removed
Removal means the rows are deleted from the database. We do not mark data as deleted and keep it. Once a removal runs, the data cannot be restored from the production database.
A deleted record can remain in the database provider's restore history until that window passes, at most 30 days later. Request logs expire on the hosting provider's schedule.
What we cannot remove
A poll message that Meeting Mouse already posted stays in your Slack channel until someone in the workspace deletes it there. Slack holds that message, and Slack's own retention settings apply to it.
How to request removal
A workspace admin can remove Meeting Mouse from the workspace in Slack, which deletes everything for that workspace without contacting us. To have one person's data removed, write to support@meetingmouse.net with the name of the Slack workspace and the person's name in it. The data deletion request procedure lists each step.
If the hosted app is retired
If we shut down the hosted app, we give notice on this website first and then delete all stored data for every workspace.
