# Security Have questions about security? Be sure to check out [Kumu's official security policy](https://kumu.io/security). If you're looking for more specific information, see our security FAQ below, and if you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to [contact support](mailto:support@kumu.io). #### How are passwords securely stored within the system (e.g. encrypted using a salted hash)? Passwords are stored securely using the bcrypt hashing algorithm. #### Does Kumu automatically log off, lock or terminate a session after a predetermined time of inactivity? We do not terminate sessions automatically based on inactivity. #### What logs or audit trails are produced by Kumu? All requests are logged by IP and logs are kept for two weeks. #### Is the data embedded in the logs? Project data is not included in the logs. #### Are successful/unsuccessful accesses logged? With client network addresses? Login attempts are logged but not closely monitored. Users are encouraged to use 2FA to further secure their accounts. #### How long are the logs retained? The audit trails we maintain internally only cover major events (such as account creation/deletion and project updates). These logs are retained indefinitely. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
