Data Backup and Retention Policy

Fox and CFHS have implemented a backup strategy that utilizes on-site and off-site storage. The on-site backup ensures quick recovery from minor disruptions, while the off-site backup protects critical data in the event of a major disaster. Data and configurations are backed up daily to on-site and off-site storage, with some services backed up incrementally every 30 minutes. Fox is required to retain member data and records for 10 years and other data for 3 years according to its data retention policy.

Data Backup and Retention Policy

Backup Strategy:

Fox and CFHS have implemented a backup strategy that utilizes hard disk based storage to back up all the
data and the system configuration.

Fox uses both onsite and off-site backup processes. The onsite backup process is implemented to ensure
that, any minor onsite service disruption can be immediately recovered from, using the backed up data and
configuration taken onsite. The off-site back ensures that the Company has access to the most updated
critical data for recovery in the event of a major disaster or disruption.

The data and configuration is first stored in the hard disk of a dedicated standby server and then to an
external hard disk based storage device. Then, the backup data is transferred using VPN site-to-site tunnel
to the backup storage server in the off-site location.

The data and configuration of all the services are backed up at least daily, both on the onsite back up
storage, and to the off-site location. According to the priority of the data, for some services the data is
backed incrementally every 30 minutes.

The daily backup process is completely automated, and it is monitored daily by the IT system
administrators.

Data Retention Policy:

Fox and all of its contractors are required to retain member specific data and associated processing
records for a minimum of 10 years. Apart from member specific data and records, other data and records
should be retained for a period of 3 years.
