PasswordSentinel - Data Retention Policy
Effective Date
November 5, 2024
Overview
PasswordSentinel is committed to supporting best practices for data retention and security. Since PasswordSentinel stores data locally on your device and does not transmit it to external servers, this policy provides recommendations on managing, updating, and securely storing your data.
1. Local Data Storage
PasswordSentinel stores all passwords and sensitive information locally on your device only. We do not collect or retain data on external servers or third-party services.
2. User Responsibility for Data Management
As a user, you are responsible for managing the data stored by PasswordSentinel on your device. This includes regularly reviewing, updating, and deleting old or unused passwords and information.
3. Recommended Data Retention Practices
- Regular Updates: Update your stored passwords periodically to maintain security. A best practice is to update sensitive passwords every 3-6 months.
- Removal of Unused Data: Regularly delete old or unused passwords to reduce clutter and potential security risks.
- Backup Awareness: If you choose to back up your data, ensure it is stored securely, and consider using encrypted storage if possible.
4. No Automatic Deletion
PasswordSentinel does not automatically delete or manage stored data on your behalf. You are solely responsible for any deletion or retention of your passwords and other sensitive information on your device.
5. Security Recommendations for Local Storage
- Use Strong Master Passwords: Set a unique and strong master password to secure access to PasswordSentinel.
- Secure Your Device: Ensure that your device is locked, password-protected, and regularly updated with the latest security patches.
- Avoid Shared Devices: For maximum security, avoid using PasswordSentinel on shared or public devices.
