# Privacy and Data Handling ## Data categories visible in the product Virusis may work with categories of data such as: * account and session data * token and cookie data for trial and share access * device or tracking context (`device_hash`, `tracking_id`, `anon_id`) * uploaded file, URL, and IP inputs * scan metadata, checksums, and result records * product and interaction telemetry ## Why this data is processed * to start scans and display results * to find existing samples again * to manage trial and shared access * to reduce abuse and overuse risk * to monitor service quality and product reliability * to power reporting and export flows ## Notable technical observations * shared-result flows can extend access to a specific report * some temporary client-side values can be stored for continuity * analysis outputs can be represented as separate result layers ## Data minimization considerations * share links should use the shortest viable lifetime * sensitive access data should never land in logs * retention periods should be defined by data type * legal and security teams should agree on a shared retention matrix ## Contact note No verified public privacy inbox is currently published in this help center. Before publication, an official data-subject channel and response window should be defined separately. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
