Hosting
Security controls and certifications are primarily inherited from Salesforce.
Retention & deletion
After the contract ends, customer data can be made available for download if the customer gives notice in text form at least 14 calendar days before the contract ends. Without such notice, flair may delete the data 90 calendar days after the contract ends. Following the return of data, flair deletes any customer data still available to it after 90 calendar days unless the customer reports illegible or incomplete data within that period.
Data residency/sovereignty depends on the Salesforce hosting region.
