CSVbox offers three configurations for handling user data. Choose the one that matches your privacy and retention requirements.

​
Standard mode

Standard Mode: files go from the browser to CSVbox servers, which push data to your system and store a copy in the CSVbox datastore

Standard Mode

This is the default configuration. User data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The data is pushed to your system, and a copy of it is stored in the CSVbox database. The copy is auto-deleted after one month. Your system can access the data from the CSVbox datastore any time during this month. Optionally, the data is also available in the client browser.

​
No store mode

No Store Mode: files go from the browser to CSVbox servers, which push data straight to your system without storing the file

No Store Mode

In this mode, the user data isn’t stored in the CSVbox database. It’s pushed directly to your system. Optionally, the data is also available in the client browser.
Metadata that describes the import is stored in CSVbox. This includes data such as Import ID, Import Start Time, End Time, Sheet ID, etc.
To activate this mode, go to your CSVbox dashboard → Edit Sheet → Security tab, and for File Delete Policy select Do not store the file.
File Delete Policy set to Do not store the file

​
Private mode

Private Mode: files are processed in the browser and your code sends the data straight to your system, bypassing CSVbox servers

Private Mode

In Private Mode, the user data doesn’t transit CSVbox servers and isn’t stored in our databases. The data is processed in the client browser and is available for consumption there. You can then push the data to your system by implementing custom code.
