### Does Dataflake store my Data?&#x20;

**Dataflake does not** **store** your data in our servers. You take full control over your data.&#x20;

Dataflake sends the query directly to your database and no more than that, so the database user just needs the **SELECT (Read)** permission on tables used in the SQL. We always recommend giving enough permissions to your user to keep your database safer from cyber attacks

However, if you use cache, Dataflake will store the query result in Dataflake based on the cache time. This will help us display the dashboard faster for viewer, and reduce the load for your database server. When the cache time is expired, we no longer store your cache data in Dataflake servers.&#x20;

### How do Dataflake protect your database credentials?  <a href="#since-our-database-credentials-are-stored-in-holisticss-system-how-do-you-protect-them" id="since-our-database-credentials-are-stored-in-holisticss-system-how-do-you-protect-them"></a>

We prioritize the utmost security for your data credentials throughout our data visualization process. From the moment you input your information, we employ SSL encryption to ensure a secure transfer, protecting your credentials from any potential unauthorized access. Once in our systems, your credentials are stored with the highest level of protection using public key cryptography, adding an extra layer of security to deter unauthorized access.&#x20;

To minimize the risk of exposure, we adhere to a decrypt-only-when-necessary approach, ensuring that your credentials are only decrypted during specific query executions, thus avoiding any inadvertent leaks. Additionally, we take meticulous care to conceal your credentials in returned responses, providing an added layer of protection against accidental disclosure.&#x20;
