·Privacy

·Learn how Fivetran respects our users' right to privacy. For more details, see our Privacy Program Framework.

·See previous versions of Fivetran Privacy policies in the Archived versions documentation.

·Retention of customer data

·How long we retain customer data depends on the data type:

Customer Data TypeRetention PeriodNote
Customer data< 8 hours (usually)We purge customer data as soon as it is successfully written to the destination, except in the cases below.
Obfuscated customer data1 weekSolely for customer troubleshooting support as needed, subject to access controls.
Temporary data< 24 hours (usually)Some data integration or replication processes require ephemeral data specific to a data source (for example, binary logs for MySQL or events streams for Asana). We delete this data as soon as possible, though that may take more than 24 hours in rare cases.
Event data from the Webhooks connector and other connectors using webhooksVariesIf you sync webhooks or event data, we retain that data for a limited time so that it can be re-synced if needed. To find the data retention period for your connector type, see our Events documentation.
Customer access keysDuration of the servicesWe retain customer database credentials and SaaS OAuth tokens to securely and continuously extract data and troubleshoot customer issues. These credentials are securely stored in a key management system, which is backed by a hardware security module managed by our cloud provider.
Customer metadataDuration of the servicesWe retain configuration details and data points (such as table and column names) for each connection so that this information can be displayed in your Fivetran dashboard.
Email attachments collected by Email connectorCustomer-managed storage: 24 hours; Fivetran-managed storage: Duration of the servicesRaw emails are retained by Fivetran for 24 hours. For Fivetran-managed storage, we back up and store email attachments in an internal S3 bucket so that they can be re-synced if needed. These attachments are retained until you delete your Email connection.
Customer accounts90 days after terminationCustomer accounts are purged 90 days after a terminated subscription.

·In the following two cases, customer data is purged as soon as it is successfully written to the destination. If the data writing process takes longer than usual, the data is automatically purged after 30 days using object lifecycle management:

  • ·Destination outage: If your destination is down, we maintain the data that we've read from your source so that we can resume the sync without losing progress once the issue is resolved.
  • ·Schema information for data blocking or column hashing purposes: If you choose to block or hash columns before running the initial sync for your new connection, we query your data source and cache your data while we fetch the full schema. We write to the destination only the data you selected as tables and columns from the fully fetched schema and only when you approved the selection.

·Fivetran data residency

·Fivetran runs data connections on servers in the United States (US), Canada, European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Singapore, India, Japan, Indonesia, and the Middle East. You can select your preferred data processing location when configuring your destination. All connections configured in a destination run in the destination's designated location. This means that in most cases, your data will not leave our region-specific servers during processing. For example, if you configure your destination to use our EU servers, your data will not leave the EU during processing. See our destination documentation to learn how to configure your data processing location.

·Certain connectors are exceptions to this policy, such as the email connector and connectors that sync webhooks and event data as well as customer support requests unless you have purchased Fivetran's U.S.-only support option. By default, we store email connector and event data in a cloud storage service in one of the following data processing locations:

  • ·the EU location - for destinations run in the EU location
  • ·the UK location - for destinations run in the UK location
  • ·the US location - for all other destinations

·Fivetran runs our services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Azure. The following table lists regions supported by Fivetran for each service provider:
