Data Handling

What Cynch collects, stores, and deliberately avoids.

Data Cynch observes

Cynch observes events and relationships within explicitly defined scope.

Metadata related to messages, decisions, and state changes

References between artifacts (links, IDs, relationships)

Timing and sequence information related to work events

Cynch does not ingest full message bodies, documents, or files beyond what is required to understand relationships.

Data Cynch stores

Stored data is limited to what enables continuity.

Event identifiers

Relationship mappings

Source references

Minimal metadata required for traceability and explainability

No data is stored without a continuity purpose.

Data Cynch does not store

Full message histories

Document contents beyond references

File bodies

Private communications outside permitted scopes

Behavioral analytics outside continuity scope

If data does not contribute to alignment, it is not retained.

Retention and lifecycle

Retention is policy-driven and customer-controlled

By default, retained metadata preserves continuity until removed by customer policy or source-system deletion.

Retention exists to support continuity, not analysis or optimization

Data usage boundaries

Observed data is never used for:

Advertising

Profiling

Performance scoring

Behavioral optimization

Observed data is used only to:

Detect continuity risks

Surface explainable signals

Data ownership

Source systems remain the system of record

Cynch does not claim ownership of user data

Deletion or access changes in source systems are respected

Cynch reflects reality. It does not redefine it.
