Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you store my data?

All data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in the United States. Sonix operates within enterprise-grade hosting facilities that feature robust physical security measures, including 24/7/365 monitoring and surveillance, on-site security personnel, and regular security audits.

We use server-side encryption with one of the strongest available block ciphers—256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256)—to secure both our databases and your data at rest.

Where can I read more about Sonix’s terms, privacy, and security policies?

What happens when I delete a file?

The file is permanently and irreversibly deleted from Sonix’s systems. There is no backup or way to retrieve it.

Can I request someone from Sonix to review my file?

Yes, but only with your express consent. By default, all file handling is automated to ensure maximum privacy.
