Maintenance and File Retention Policy
To maintain optimal storage, security, and performance, Data Boutique enforces a maintenance and file retention policy for files uploaded by sellers. This article provides an overview of how we manage files within the seller’s designated AWS S3 bucket and what sellers can expect in terms of file retention and accessibility.
Maintenance and Retention Policy Overview
All files uploaded to the seller folder on Data Boutique’s AWS S3 bucket follow a structured retention timeline. Files in the s3://databoutique.com/sellers/ folder are automatically deleted 10 days after upload. This practice ensures effective storage management, enhances security, and keeps our infrastructure efficient for all users.
Key Points of the File Retention Policy
- Folder Path for Sellers:
s3://databoutique.com/sellers/[Seller ID]/[Contract ID]/[YYYY-MM-DD]/- Sellers upload content to their designated folder, which includes a unique
Seller ID,Contract ID, and the date of upload.
- Sellers upload content to their designated folder, which includes a unique
- 10-Day Deletion Rule: All files within this seller folder are removed after 10 days. This applies to any file under the
s3://databoutique.com/sellers/structure. - Buyer Access After File Deletion: Despite this deletion policy, buyers who have already purchased the data retain access to it via Data Boutique’s interface. The data remains available to buyers as long as the seller is active on the platform.
- Seller Responsibility: Sellers should ensure that all necessary files are correctly uploaded to their designated folder and confirm that all data has been processed by Data Boutique before the 10-day deletion period lapses.
Purpose of the Policy
Our retention policy is designed to balance storage efficiency and data accessibility, ensuring:
- Secure and Manageable Storage: Regular deletion of files reduces the risk of redundant storage use and optimizes our infrastructure.
- Continued Buyer Access: Even with the 10-day deletion rule, buyer access to purchased data is unaffected, providing ongoing data availability through the Data Boutique platform.
- Platform Performance: Efficient management of our S3 storage contributes to a smoother experience for all users.
By following this policy, Data Boutique can support a high volume of transactions and maintain a seamless, secure environment for data delivery.
