Information collected when you use our hosted Iolite service
Only applies if you DO NOT self-host Iolite, but instead use a server that we own and operate
- All data you enter into or upload to your Iolite organization is stored on the server your organization is hosted on, and a copy of that data is stored on a second backup server. If your Iolite organization is deleted, all data will be deleted from both servers within 90 days. You may request the deletion of your Iolite organization at any time, and we will always honor that request.
- We may view the list of users, apps, and domains in your Iolite organization at any time, e.g. so that we can route support requests and bill accordingly. We WILL NOT access the data you enter into your apps, unless you explicitly grant permission for us to do so, for example so our customer service personnel can assist you.

Information sent by your Iolite server
Only applies if you self-host Iolite
- During setup, your Iolite server will send a random code to our server so that it will be linked to your account.
- When your Iolite server is running, it accesses our servers at least once a day to download various assets and updates. Each time your Iolite server contacts our servers, the IP address and device information is logged on our servers.
- When your Iolite server is running, it will periodically send a list of the names of the apps you are running to our servers. We will use this information to charge you for installing paid apps and to help us determine which apps are the most popular.
- If your are using our offsite backup service, your Iolite server will send an encrypted backup payload once a day. Those payloads remain encrypted, and are stored on our servers for 90 days.
- If you are using our mail relay service (the default behavior if you are using the Mail app), all outgoing emails are sent first to our servers before being forwarded to the intended recipients. We do not store the contents of these emails. We may scan them to detect malware or spam emails, and store various metrics about the number of emails you send, so that we can prevent spammers from using our forwarding service.
