# 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
