Frequently asked questions

How is customer data isolated from that of other customers?

Nylas logically separates account data with the concept of Nylas Applications. Each Nylas Application has a separate client ID and secret, and accounts need to be authenticated against each Nylas Application individually. When an account is authenticated, Nylas returns a scoped access token to be used with Nylas’ APIs to access that account’s data. This is the only way to access data for that account. Account data is stored in a sharded database cluster, and is always encrypted in transit and at rest using industry best practices. Customers have control over what account data is stored as well as the data retention period for each Nylas Application.

What data does Nylas process?

Once an account is connected to Nylas, our platform is capable of processing any email, calendar, and contact data associated with it. Our API reference has a complete list of fields for each type of data object:

Not all of this data is processed for every account. Customers control what data is processed using granular OAuth scopes when authenticating accounts.
