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.
