TeamRhythm app data storage

Easy Agile is committed to Cloud security.

Data stored for Easy Agile TeamRhythm

Easy Agile TeamRhythm uses two types of data: Jira data, and app-specific end-user data.

Jira data

App data

Examples

Epics and issues

Projects, boards, and sprints

Issue fields including the Story Points field

User names and email addresses

Retrospective data

User story map configuration such as additional hierarchy and card layout

Planning poker votes

Storage

Easy Agile apps never store a copy of your Jira data.

Jira data is fetched directly from Jira when a user loads the page, using that user’s Jira authentication.

Where app data is related to Jira data, we store only the ID number of the relevant Jira data (e.g. the board ID number or user hexadecimal ID).

For Cloud: data that can’t be stored in Atlassian Jira is saved in Easy Agile’s cloud servers. Read more about Data residency for Cloud customers below.

On Data Center: app data is stored in the existing Jira database. The app adds and manages new tables with names starting with “AO_D4FD13_”. Easy Agile cannot access your Jira or app data.

End users can choose to share personal information such as their name and email address with Easy Agile. This includes:

The Easy Agile TeamRhythm app processes but does not store this personal information. All PII is stored in services in our listed subprocessors.

Data residency for Cloud customers

For our Cloud customers, app data that cannot be stored in Jira is stored in Easy Agile’s cloud servers (outside Atlassian).

  • The app integrates with Jira through the Atlassian Connect Framework. This includes using a shared installation secret to manage authentication with Jira. This secret is stored in our cloud servers in addition to the app data.

  • Team member access to production infrastructure is restricted by our Security and IT team and subject to audit logging. Team members who are part of an administrator group, or can request access, are required to use biometric authentication.

Easy Agile’s cloud infrastructure is operated from 2 AWS regions:

  1. In the USA: us-west-2 in Oregon

  2. In Germany: eu-central-1 in Frankfurt

Which region your app data is assigned to will depend on where the host Jira site is pinned at the time Easy Agile TeamRhythm is installed:

  • By default, customers will be assigned to the USA region.

  • If your Jira site is pinned to Germany at the time of installation, the Easy Agile TeamRhythm app data will be assigned to the region in Germany.

  • If your Jira site is pinned elsewhere in the EU, Atlassian will determine the nearest supported region to assign your installation

It is not currently possible to manually select or change the data residency region for Easy Agile TeamRhythm after the app has been installed.

If you’re interested in more data residency region options, let us know here.

App data after uninstallation

If you uninstall the Easy Agile TeamRhythm app from your Jira site:

  • App data including Retrospectives will no longer be accessible.

  • The data will not be deleted from the Easy Agile cloud servers or Jira Data Center database where it is stored.

  • Jira data (e.g. issues, epics, sprints, versions) that has been viewed or edited using the app will not be affected by uninstallation.

If you re-install the app again in the future, your data will be restored.

  • On Jira Data Center, you can safely uninstall/re-install the app to troubleshoot technical issues. No data will be lost and the app will function as normal after re-installation.
