Data Management Practices
Through its different features, PnP Package accesses, processes, and stores several kinds of data:
- Authentication
- Team/Group/Site data
- User data
- Teams channel/files
Here is how we’re managing data for these different categories:
| Data | Accessed | Cached | Stored | Notes |
| Authentication | ✔ | ✔ | 🚫 | Access token for Application Permissions and cached while the function is working |
| Team/Group/Site data | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ID of Teams/Group/Sites are accessed and cached. Site data will be stored in Azure. |
| User profiles | ✔ | ✔ | 🚫 | Accessed and updated after each login. Stored as long as the organization is active. |
| User data | ✔ | ✔ | 🚫 | Accessed while storing the Site data and cached but will removed. |
| Teams channel | ✔ | ✔ | 🚫 | Name and unique ID of the channel. No cache. Stored as long as the organization is active. |
| Teams conversations | 🚫 | 🚫 | 🚫 | No access. No cache. No storage. |
| Teams files | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | File accessed and cached in script. File storaged in Azure for template roll out. |

Microsoft Teams Apps Security And Compliance
To provide organizations with the information they need to accelerate and inform decisions about the Microsoft Teams apps and add-ins they use, Microsoft works with our Microsoft 365 developer partners. This information is supplemented by information from the Microsoft Cloud App Security app catalog and information provided by developers when they submit their apps. This security, data handling and compliance information is intended to help organizations assess and manage the risks of using these apps.
