Frequently Asked Questions
INTEGRATION
How much time would it take to integrate and go-live?
Integrating Upshot.ai consists of two phases:
a. Integration strategy (1-2 weeks): Understand your product & business goals and define key KPIs/ Metrics, Identify events and attributes to be captured and integrated, Design high-level campaign strategy.
b. Actual integration and testing( 2-3 weeks)The entire integration process will be completed within 3-4 weeks.
How much effort is required by our developers to integrate?
It would take approximately 1-2 weeks of your developer time for integration.
How fast does the SDK display the Upshot.ai interaction in the app/ website? Can the display be delayed/controlled?
Instantly.
If the interaction needs images, the SDK downloads the images in the background and presents them when the display condition is fulfilled (i.e. consumer reaches the right screen in the app or displays the expected behavior).
If the interaction needs videos, the SDK does not download any video, rather Upshot.ai streams the video to the consumer via its CDN.
Any delay in the SDK’s display process can be configured during the integration progress.
What does SDK integration mean?
The process of capturing end user’s behavioral, transactional and attitudinal information and passing it to Upshot.ai which in turn provides this information in the form of reports and insights.
It also includes integrating the upshot.ai nudges that will enable the business to interact back with the users.
What does it take to integrate Upshot.ai SDK into the mobile app/ Website?
As a one-time activity, Client and Upshot.ai teams could work together to identify the key metrics that matter for their product, then identify the events/places within the app where the required data needs to be captured.
If the app changes after initial integration i.e. app features are added/modified, the teams could consider revisiting the event capture relevant to the changes only.
If we are already capturing analytics and consumer segments in an existing tool, will Upshot.ai be able to take those segments in and run campaigns on them?
Yes, Provided the client’s existing tool should have the ability to push data to Upshot.ai via an API.
In what format do I need to pass information to Upshot.ai SDK?
You need to pass the data as dictionaries for the respective platform (More details provided in SDK documentation). Every data to upshot.ai is sent as an event which is a Key, value pair.
Do we have to perform integration every time I release a new feature?
For mobile apps every time when you release a new feature and publish a new version to Appstore and Playstore then you need to integrate the latest additions with Upshot.ai SDK.
Upshot.ai will be able to capture those new events for all users who updated their app to the latest version.
For websites, you can dynamically pull data when a new feature is released.
SDK & PERFORMANCE
What is the frequency at which you will release new versions of the SDK?
We release an updated version of the SDK every 3 months. This release includes:
a. Support for the latest OS versions of iOS and Android
b. New Features Added to the Platform
c. Bug fixes
How does the SDK affect app performance?
The SDK has been designed to have a negligible impact on app performance from a consumer perspective. So far the SDK has been integrated into several games, consumer apps, and websites and has not received any complaints about the SDK impacting app performance negatively.
How will the SDK integration impact the size of my Apps?
The executable file size of your iOS binary would increase by approximately 4MB and Android by 2.5MB after integration. So, if your App is 20MB it would become approximately 24MB on iOS and 22.5MB on Android
DATA SECURITY, PRIVACY & RETENTION
How data privacy is handled in Upshot.ai?
By default, Upshot.ai SDK does not automatically capture ANY consumer PII( Personally identifiable information)
1. During the integration of Upshot.ai SDK with your mobile app or Website, you can decide what is to be captured and what should not be.
2. If PII data such as email ID, Phone number are sent they will be masked at upshot.ai side while storing in its database and no one will be able to read the data even if they have access to raw data.
3. Each client’s data in the Upshot.ai cloud is stored within its own isolated logical container. As Upshot.ai is deployed on AWS, the hard disks used by Upshot.ai are encrypted as per AWS standards.
4. Upshot.ai does not sell one client’s data with other or any 3rd party agencies.
5. Upshot.ai SDK encrypts each data point while sending to Upshot.ai servers and the server validates the incoming data by matching the encryption key to avoiding any mid man intrusions.
How is data security handled in Upshot.ai SDK?
While integrating the SDK you need to use the Account ID and App ID that are available on the dashboard configured for your account. These IDs will serve as the address for the data to be stored on the Upshot.ai cloud which is hosted on AWS.
All the data that is being captured by the App and passed to the SDK will use these IDs while sending data out via APIs. All APIs use HTTPS
Each data packet is encrypted with the combination of App and Account ID along with a custom OTP generated by the SDK which is then validated by the server to avoid mid man hacking.
Where does the data reside and who owns the data?
The data resides on Amazon AWS hosted and managed by Upshot.ai. Every client’s information is stored on a multi-tenant architecture. Clients will own their data and it will not be shared/sold to any other client or 3rd party agencies
How long will you retain the data on your servers and what happens after that?
The data on Upshot.ai servers will be retained for 5 years with 3 years of data accessible via the dashboard and 2 years of data will be archived. Post 5 years you can decide to take the old data into your systems or it will be deleted from upshot.ai permanently.
If you have the mandate to maintain the data on Upshot.ai for more than 5 years then those requests will be considered and dealt separately at additional cost.
What happens to our data if we want to move away from Upshot.ai in the Future?
You will have the flexibility to take a dump of all the data captured so far on Upshot.ai in raw format for a one time cost depending on the size of your data.
