Security and privacy

When using a tool like Umbraco Engage, security and privacy are important considerations due to the involvement of user data.

Security is a first-class citizen in the Umbraco Engage. Besides performance and all the features, security is important in all parts of Umbraco Engage.

Umbraco Engage is made secure and safe allowing you to have full control of all data of your visitors.

In this section, you can dive deeper into the following aspects.

Security settings

When you have locked down access to your Umbraco folder, ensure the /umbraco/engage/\* path is allowed for all clients. You should also ensure it is not blocked based on an IP. This is needed to collect client-side events.

Privacy settings

Umbraco Engage stores a lot of data, but because it is stored in your database(s) you have full control over this data. The data is never stored in a central data center and no visitor data is ever transmitted to Umbraco.

Umbraco Engage can be configured to store the data in whatever database you specify. This can be the same database as the Umbraco installation, or a different database.

Aside from full control, Umbraco Engage also gives you tools to anonymize and fully delete the data.
