FAQs Data Security Related
Is my data secure?
Yes, we have two different architectures. Non-server model and server model.
In the case of the Non-server model, your messages will directly be sent to the network service provider and ValueText doesn’t even know what messages you are sending, and all the messages will be stored only in Salesforce.
In the case of the server model or pass-through server model, we store the data for 10 to 20 seconds before sending the messages to the network., and the messages are deleted automatically once they are delivered or processed.
You can enable the option based on your need.
Can I share credit card information or other important data over the chat, and is there any data masking features available?
You can share the important data and at the same time, you can implement data masking rules to protect the data.
What type of file securities do you have?
We have very high-level security. Our system automatically rejects it if the file’s type is not matching with your settings. For example, you can restrict the “exe” file sharing over the chat, and you can enable the setting to restrict.
