At the moment, nothing.

If you are the admin of the office, you would have received an email from Prakriya Case Diary when you registered the account. The office ID is mentioned there.

If you don’t have access to that email, you can login with the admin credentials and goto the “Profile” page, in the main menu. If you login with the admin credentials, you get to see a second tab named “Office”. In that tab, your office details are present and you can get the ID from there.

Prakriya Case Diary is built with a multi tenant architecture. This means, that though the data resides in the same space, users can see only data pertaining to their offices. We do substantial amount of testing to verify that there are no data leaks.

The developers are not given direct access to the data. Login to the database is for strictly controlled and manual logins are done only for bug fixes or any upgrades or maintenance.

We will not view or use your data that is in our system. We have automated backups which will backup your data every few days to make sure there is no data loss in case of any unforeseen problems.

It is our company policy to not use your data in any kind other than with your prior WRITTEN CONSENT. There may be cases where, to fix a bug or track down an anomaly, we would require permission to view certain data. This will be intimated and the task will not be carried out without WRITTEN CONSENT from the respective office administrators.

We have a dashboard facility to let us track, how many offices are registered with our servers, how much data is being stored per office, and how much load is being put on the system by each office. This is for monitoring purposes and will act as a guide so that we can expand system capacity in the necessary areas as our eco-system becomes bigger.

Details like office name, phone number, email id and address may be used for communication purposes from our support team, or sales team (only to let you know, your license may be about to expire or if there is any exciting offer related to license renewal)

At the moment, if you wish to download all your data, we will provide that to you as a zip file containing all the client details, case details, attached files etc. This cannot be done automatically. The administrator of the office has to send a request to info@prakriya.biz from the registered email id.

Its your data, you own it. It’s merely being kept in our servers. When you delete a data, its gone. We do not keep track of old data. Certain data like file attachments will not be deleted when the user deletes the file from the application. The server marks the file for deletion and will delete it when there is an idle time. This certainly will not take more than 24 hours to happen.

You are given a grace period of 1 month from date of termination. Due to a termination request from your end, or license expiration. During this grace period, you are most welcome to raise a request for downloading all your data. Once the grace period is done, the data is permanently purged from our systems.
