Questions and Answers about the App.FunRetrospectives.com
How do I share my board with the team?
Once you have a board/agenda created, copy the URL on your browser’s address bar and send it through your usual communication channel (i.e. Slack). There is no need for email invitations, anybody with the link can join. How do I save the board as a PDF?
As of now you can export it to PDF by clicking the cloud button at the right corner of each board.
It uses the browser’s print functionality where you usually find a “Save to PDF” option. We recommend using Google Chrome for the Desktop to do this, but it might also work in other browsers. Having the PDF file, you can send it through e-mail or any file sharing tool you like.
Where is this data stored and how long?
We use Google Firebase service for data storage with servers hosted in the US. Data is stored for indeterminate time as of now. But once you delete a note from your board, it is permanently removed from the database.
Who can access it in addition to the people that I share the link with?
As we currently don’t track user logins, the data is publicly available for anyone with the link. But the link is generated via a random large string of characters, and it is not made discoverable through search. The links never repeat itself.
What do you do with the data collected during the retros?
We don’t collect user specific data or metadata, we only store the data inputed into the software by the users, so they can reach out to it in the future. We do not keep track of any retrospective board link. If a user wants to remove data from a board, he/she can either do it manually (deleting each note), or request us to purge all the data for a specific board (in this case, send an email to [email protected] with the subject “PURGE” and the board url in the mail content). We use Google Analytics for collecting usage metrics.
