# Files

To utilize our obfuscation and tamper protection services, your files must undergo processing through our platform.

Previously, in our legacy dashboard, customers were required to upload their files to our platform and then link obfuscation tasks to those files.

However, our current platform operates differently. We do not retain any files for a longer period than necessary. Instead, each protection task comes with its own set of files. Once the files have been processed and protected, they are promptly removed from our servers.
