Abstract: Techniques for modifying a period of time that data, associated with a characteristic, transmitted via a communication platform is retained are described. A data retention rule can include a first period of time for retaining data transmitted via the communication platform, in association with an organization. The first user can additionally establish a specific data retention rule associated with data associated with a particular characteristic. The specific data retention rule can include an instruction to store communications including the particular characteristic for a second time period that is different from the first time period associated with the data retention rule. The communication platform can receive data from a second user computing device associated with the second user of the organization. Based on a determination that the data is associated with the characteristic, the communication platform can store the data according to the data retention rule specified for such data.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for providing inline data loss prevention (DLP) within a group-based communication system. A DLP engine is included to apply an organization-specific DLP policy to a user input to determine whether the user input should be displayed in a group-based communication channel of the group-based communication system. Multiple organizations sharing a channel may each have their own respective organization-specific DLP policies applied to incoming and outgoing messages for that organization.

Abstract: Implementing communication barriers in a group-based communication system is described. In an example, a privacy setting associated with a communication privilege for communicating with a user of a group-based communication system can be stored, wherein the privacy setting permits the user to transmit communications via the group-based communication and restricts another user of the group-based communication system from communicating with the user. The group-based communication system can deny a communication privilege of the other user based at least in part on the privacy setting, wherein denying the communication privilege prohibits the other user from at least one of initiating a message associated with a user identifier of the user or transmitting the message to a client device associated with the user identifier.

Abstract: Techniques for specifying a deleted data retention rule for deleted objects in a communication platform are described herein. Deleted objects include objects (e.g., files, reaction emojis, etc.), that are transmitted and/or accessible via the communication platform and subsequently deleted. An administrative user of an organization can establish one or more deleted data retention rules (e.g., policies) for the organization. A deleted data retention rule can include a policy for continued storage of a deleted object after receiving a request to delete the object from the communication platform. In response to receiving the request to delete the object, and based on a deleted data retention rule, the communication platform can remove the object from view by the end user (e.g., remove from an interface), but can continue to store the object in a database for a period of time specified in the deleted data retention rule.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for implementing at least one communication barrier in a group-based communication system are described herein. The apparatus is configured to at least receive a first group correlation between a first user identifier and a first group identifier, receive a second group correlation between a second user identifier and a second group identifier, retrieve a communication separation settings set associated with the first group identifier and the second group identifier, and cause rendering a first electronic indication on a group-based communication interface. In some examples, the first user identifier is associated with a first workspace identifier and a first group-based communication channel. In some examples, the first group-based communication channel is associated with the first workspace identifier and a second workspace identifier.
