Data handling

What AppThentic reads, what it stores, and how you correct or remove it.

What AppThentic reads

Only the sources you connect: repositories, tickets, docs and threads. Reading is read-only. See Reading your systems.

What AppThentic stores

Stored	Where
Business rules and their locations	Evidence store, in your infrastructure
Links to supporting evidence	Evidence store
Questions, answers and approvals	Evidence store
History of every change	Evidence store

AppThentic stores links to source material and the parts it needs as evidence. Your systems remain the source of record.

Correcting and deleting

An owner can correct an answer at any time. The correction is recorded with the date.
A single fact can be deleted from the evidence store without affecting any other fact or retraining anything.
Disconnecting a source stops AppThentic reading it.

Personal data

Answers are attributed to the people who gave them, because attribution is what makes them trustworthy. People can see what they have been asked and what they answered.
