Security and data ownership
Your support conversations are your business data. Store them in your system of record, apply your policies, and change vendors without exporting a decade of history.
Principles
- Data ownership — conversations live in your backend, not ours.
- Least privilege — integrations use scoped credentials with minimal permissions.
- Tenant isolation — product slugs map to specific backends and installations.
- Auditability — use your existing audit logs and retention policies.
Personal data handling
Support conversations often contain personal data. When you implement the Support SPI, you control storage — encryption, retention, and access controls — so you can meet internal compliance requirements directly.
Operational safeguards
Recommended practices for production use:
- Run your SPI server behind TLS.
- Use request authentication (see SPI docs) and rotate credentials regularly.
- Log request IDs and status codes for debugging and correlation.
- Apply rate limits and backpressure on message creation endpoints.
