About protecting your data

Protecting your data is our top priority. We understand that you are trusting us with your data, and we take the responsibility of securing it extremely seriously. Please review our Terms of Service, as well as our other security and privacy documentation before using Delighted.

Train your team in Delighted's security protocols

To help you with your user training and organizational compliance, we've placed an article — called the Delighted Security Briefing: User Security Training — in the Help Center. There is a short orientation video and a brief article to guide your Limited, Standard, and Admin users.

• The guide can be very helpful as users must set up many of the Delighted security systems for themselves. Even as an Admin, you can't do it for them!

Data retention policy

Delighted’s Data Retention Policy feature provides options to automatically 1) Delete response data outside of a specific time window and/or 2) Anonymize data outside of a specific time window. You can review your policy settings by heading to the Data retention policy page.

A few important footnotes

• Changes are permanent, so please only adjust these settings if you're confident about deleting and/or anonymizing your data
• Charges are retroactive, so be aware that historical data outside of the time window you specify will be immediately impacted
• Policy updates will typically take 24 hours to go into effect

Finding your Data Retention Policy settings

Head to your Account page and select "Data retention policy," and then click to head into your policy settings — Delete responses and Anonymize responses.

Delete Responses

This setting will automatically delete responses outside of a time window that you specify.

Anonymize Responses

This setting will automatically anonymize responses (anonymizing name/email/phone number and any other personally identifiable information fields like IP addresses) once outside of a time window that you specify. We will only anonymize name, email, and phone number fields, so any other properties you pass our way will still be visible.

Setting options

You can set the time period for both deletion and anonymization settings. Once responses fall outside this time period, they will be either anonymized and/or deleted — depending on your settings. Let's take a look at the time periods that are supported:

• Never
• 1 month
• 3 months
• 6 months
• 1 year
• 2 years
• 3 years

Logging in: Email Address, Passwords, SSO, and 2-step security

Email address

You can change the email address associated with your Delighted account at any time by heading to the Account menu and choosing "Email address."

Password requirements

Passwords are the first line of defense for protecting your data. With that in mind, Delighted applies industry-leading password requirements to ensure your account and data always remain secure. 

Here are a four important details regarding Delighted passwords:

Changing passwords

Delighted makes updating passwords a snap. The main caveat is that the password must be 10 characters or longer.  It's up to you to decide on the use of special characters, capitalization, and numbers in a new password. (Consider including upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.)

To change your password:

1

Click "Account" → "Personal details"

2

Pick "Change password"

3

Enter your current password

4

Enter your new password. Click the blue eye to see what you’re typing!

5

Click "Save Changes"

Logging in with SSO

Delighted offers Google SSO as a method of authenticating and logging you into your account. When Google SSO is enabled, users can sign into Delighted with their existing Google credentials — no separate username and password required.

To connect Google or Apple SSO and log in with SSO thereafter:

1

From your Dashboard, click “Account” → “Personal details”

2

Click on "Connect with Google" or "Connect with Apple

3

If already logged in, select your existing account. Otherwise, enter your credentials to log into your Google or Apple account

4

Once authenticated, you'll be redirected back to your Delighted account

About disconnecting from SSO

You can disconnect from Google or Apple SSO at any time from the same "Account" → "Email" address page.

2-step security (2-factor authentication)

Delighted's 2-step security feature adds an additional level of identity verification. This makes your account more secure by requiring both your password and possession of your mobile phone to sign in.

When 2-step security is turned on, you’ll be asked for a 4-digit security code when attempting to log in. That code will be sent to your mobile phone via text message. You'll also be prompted to set a handful of recovery questions in case you lose access to your phone, or are having trouble receiving the text messages.

To set up 2-step security, follow the below steps:

1

From your Dashboard, click “Account” → “2-step security”

2

Click “Turn on 2-step security”

3

Enter your recovery phone number

4

Select and set answers to the security questions

5

Click “Send verification code” to complete the set-up

Signing out

To securely sign out of Delighted:
