Packs control: All integrations and Packs can be configured to be disallowed or require admin approval prior to installation. Coda’s Packs platform also provides advanced configurations for admins to control data schemas/type allowed in Packs.

Folder permissions: All folders are set to private by default upon creation.

Data Retention and Disposal

Implement policies and procedures to address the final disposition of electronic protected health information, and/or the hardware or electronic media on which it is stored.

Data retention and disposal: Deleted documents are kept in our primary storage systems for 7 days to allow for accidental deletions to be reverted. After this 7-day period, they are permanently removed from our primary storage systems.

Deleted data will still be retained in backups for 35 days. Once this 35-day retention period is over, the customer data will no longer be present in the backups.
