Craft stores your documents securely in the cloud to enable sync across devices, collaboration features, and data backup.

Data Policy Overview

We’ve created a comprehensive note about our data policy and storage practices. You can read the full details here: Craft Data Policy

Key Points

Cloud Storage

  • All Craft documents are stored on secure cloud servers hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • This enables real-time syncing across all your devices
  • Documents are encrypted at rest and in transit

What Gets Stored

  • Document content: All text, formatting, and structure
  • Media and attachments: Images, files, and other embedded content
  • Metadata: Document properties, collaboration data, and version history
  • Personal information: Account details and preferences

Security Measures

  • Encryption at rest: AWS RDS default encryption for documents and personal data
  • Encryption in transit: TLS protection for all data transmission
  • File encryption: SSE-S3 encryption for uploaded files and media
  • SOC 2 certified: Independent verification of security standards
  • Access controls: Limited personnel access, fully logged

Data Retention

  • Active documents remain in your space indefinitely
  • Deleted documents are kept in Recently Deleted for 30 days
  • Version history retention depends on your subscription plan (7-180 days)
  • Backups are performed regularly for disaster recovery

Alternative Storage Options

If you prefer local storage, Craft also offers External Locations where you can store documents locally on your device. However, this option has limitations:
  • Sharing and collaboration features are not available
  • You must manually re-add folders when switching devices
  • Sync depends on third-party services (like iCloud Drive)
