Security and privacy

What Oceanblok Snapshots can reach, where your data lives, and how it's removed. Written to answer the questions in a typical vendor security review.

Access to monday.com

  • Snapshots asks for two permissions only: boards:read and me:read. It can't create, change or delete anything on monday.com.
  • Each person who sets up schedules connects their own account. A schedule reads the board with its owner's access, so it can never export a board or column its owner can't see.
  • Roles such as admin or viewer are confirmed with monday.com, never trusted from the browser.

Hosting and region

The app runs on monday code, monday.com's own app hosting. It's deployed separately in each monday.com region (US, EU, Australia and Israel), and each account's data stays in the region of its monday.com account.

What we store

Application logs carry IDs only. Names, email addresses, cell values and tokens are never written to logs.

Retention and deletion

  • Copies are deleted automatically when they pass your plan's history period, from 14 days to 3 years.
  • Account admins can delete all of the account's app data at any time from the Settings tab.
  • On uninstall, schedules stop at once and all of the account's data is deleted within 10 days.

Email safeguards

  • Every email has a one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058), so recipients can stop a schedule without contacting anyone.
  • Bounced addresses and spam reports are removed from the schedule automatically, and the owner is told.
  • Retries track delivery per recipient, so a failure never causes duplicate emails.
  • Download links for large files are signed, expire after 7 days and can be turned off by admins.
  • On Business, admins can restrict recipients to allowed domains, and every send is recorded in the audit log.

Inside your account

Only a schedule's owner and account admins can see its recipients, copies and trends. Viewers and guests can't create schedules or open copies. If an admin changes someone else's schedule, ownership moves to the admin, so data is only ever sent by the person whose access read it. See Roles and admin controls.

How it's built

  • Strict type checking, linting and automated tests run before every change is accepted, including a dependency vulnerability check.
  • Standard security headers on every response, and rate limits on public endpoints.
  • Every request from the board view carries a session token signed by monday.com, which the server checks before doing anything.
  • Signing keys can be rotated without breaking links already sent.
  • The screens pass automated accessibility checks.
