Data that Tonic.ai collects
Tonic.ai collects telemetry data from the Tonic Structural application. Structural telemetry provides information about how the application is being used. It is primarily used to generate analytics for application usage and performance, but can also be used for debugging, tracking, and troubleshooting.
Structural telemetry includes:
Analytics
Data about end-user interactions with our application to understand how the application is used.
Used for product research, roadmap development, debugging, and account management.
Amplitude
Sentry
Logs
Information generated by the application to record its progress and status as it performs its functions.
Includes information such as completed tasks and errors.
Generally used for tracking and troubleshooting.
Amazon Web Services
Sentry
In addition to telemetry data, Tonic.ai collects other information during the course of its interactions with customers.
The following information provides more detail about the types of data that Tonic.ai does and does not collect.
Self-hosted Structural data collection
Most customers self-host the Structural application in their own VPC. Customer data does not leave the customer's environment.
The Structural application transmits telemetry data to Tonic.ai to enable us to perform the following tasks:
Manage our accounts
Accurately invoice for usage
Provide customer support
Investigate errors within our application
Understand usage to improve product development
Data that Tonic.ai does NOT collect, process, or store
On self-hosted instances, Tonic.ai never sees the following data:
Customer data
The content of source, destination, and application databases that support the Structural application
Datastore credentials
URI or IP address of the datastore
Credentials (password)
Proxy information
Analytics telemetry - end-user interactions
Tonic.ai collects data about end-user interactions with our application to understand how the application is used. We use this data for product research, roadmap development, debugging, and account management.
Tonic.ai collects the following information about end-user interactions:
End-user identity
First and last name
Email address
End-user interaction with the Structural application:
Last seen
First seen
Usage time

Application delivery
To build and deploy software, Tonic.ai uses a container registry that is run by Quay.io. This container registry maintains information about access to these containers.
The registry maintains a list of authorized users (organizational accounts). It maintains, collects, and stores the following information:
Network and technical identifiers
IP address
Unique device identifier
Operating system
Customer support and account management
Tonic.ai collects, processes, and stores information about end users:
When they interact with our customer support and success staff during account implementation (scoping sessions, implementation calls).
Throughout the life of the account, during customer support interactions (support emails, shared Slack channels).
Tonic.ai uses several tools to allow our customers to get the support they need quickly, including:
Chat support
Video training and implementation calls over web conferencing solutions
Email support
We aggregate requests from these tools into our Customer Management System (CMS) and our centralized customer support management portal. Aggregating these requests helps us to ensure responsiveness and quality, and to more easily integrate requests into our development process.
We collect the following information related to customer requests:
End-user identity
First and last name
Email address
Title
Avatar image
Images, video, or audio from participating in live training over a video or audio conference
Other personal information that the service provider collects and shares. For example, Google Mail collects voluntary directory information that it shares with email recipients. For an email interaction, Tonic.ai receives any information that is configured to be shared externally. Slack has configurable profiles that contain additional personal information such as pronouns and honorifics.
Network and technical identifiers
IP address
Unique device identifier
This data is collected from your organization and users through communication with our staff. The Structural application does not collect this data.
Debugging and application performance management
Tonic.ai engineers monitor the application performance and errors. They use this information to maintain, repair, and improve the application.
For these purposes, Tonic.ai collects the following information:
End-user identity
First and last name
Email address
Environment details
Name
Application version
Requests made by the application
URLs
Header information
HTTP POST parameters
URL query parameters in exception messages are redacted when they are captured. The capturing agent replaces them with
"". They are never sent to Tonic.ai.Stack traces and exceptions
Method arguments
Classes called
Processing time
CPU usage
Location of error (application, file, and line)
Database queries

Database table and names
Relationships between columns and tables
WHEREclause literals are redacted when they are captured. The capturing agent replaces them with"". They are never sent to Tonic.ai.Network and technical identifiers
IP address
Hostname

Structural Cloud analytics data collection
Customers who do not self-host Structural can use the hosted option, Structural Cloud.
Structural Cloud collects, processes, and stores data to support the Structural application.
Structural Cloud stores information about end users, configuration, hashed passwords, and datastore connections.
Customer data
Structural Cloud does not store data from source databases. It does process customer data in memory during scans and jobs.
Structural Cloud collects the following customer data:
End-user identity
First and last name
Email address
Job title
Avatar image
Application environment
Database type
Features enabled
Application version being run

Additional analytics from Structural Cloud
Organizations in our hosted environment may also have additional analytics data collected, processed, and stored. This additional data allows Tonic.ai to replay their user sessions to better understand usage patterns.
Sensitive data is redacted from these collections on the end-user device.
This data is not collected from self-hosted customers.
Structural Cloud collects the following additional analytics data:
Usage patterns
Clicks
Mouse movements
Scrolling
Typing - Excludes data that is typed in sensitive fields such as password fields
Navigation
Pages visited
Referrers
URL parameters
Session duration
Structural log data
Structural log files are stored in an S3 bucket for one year.
Tonic.ai uses a log aggregator to make the log files searchable. On the log aggregator, job logs are deleted after six months. API logs are deleted after 60 days.
Schema information
Structural logs include detailed schema information for your database, including:
Table, schema, and column names
Data types
Table sizes
Usage information
Structural logs include many types of usage information, including information related to:
Actions in the user interface, from web requests that the web server sees.
Details related to data generation.
Workspace configuration details, such as the generators that are applied to each column.
Performance data
Tonic.ai collects detailed performance data for the generation process, including data transfer rates and code profiler results.
What is NOT in the log data
Structural has strong safeguards in place to ensure that actual data does not leak into logs.
Logs that are shared with Tonic.ai are always redacted. Structural does not send diagnostic logs to Tonic.ai.
Structural does not log information related to the database connection, such as the database username, password, and host.
Viewing the Structural logs that are sent to Tonic.ai
Structural writes all logs to STDOUT. To view the exact logs that are collected and shared, view what is written to STDOUT.
