Things to Note:
Data Storage and Retention
Visitor and message data processed through the integration is not logged or stored on Zia or Convokraft servers. The data is used only for processing the request and is not retained after processing.
Encryption
Since the visitor and message data are not stored on Zia or Convokraft servers, no data-at-rest encryption is required for this data.
