How it Works
Identify regulated chat data to store into InCountry data stores
InCountry traps all regulated chat data and replaces existing chat log with redacted data
Redacted data can still be searched in Twilio All
All chat log data can be stored in a specific country, or logic can be applied to use an existing chat log such as “Country” to direct storage to multiple countries.
