# Data Policy

We practice a strict policy of not egressing any actual data from our customer's database, **only** metadata is scanned.

The only exceptions to this is:

* When you click **Accept** on the Profiler within an Asset Detail as some data will be egressed to run the profiler. This is also an **opt-in-only** feature.

#### How do we handle the data that we stored?

* Your metadata collected will only be stored up to 20 days.
* Data egressed for profiling purposes within Table Overview and Field Statistics will be deleted automatically at 12.00 AM UTC everyday.
