# Data Audit Trail

> Track who accessed, downloaded, or modified research data in your organization.

The data audit trail provides a complete record of data-related actions within your organization. Every time someone views, downloads, deletes, or runs AI analysis on quest data, an entry is logged in the **Audit Log**.

## Why Audit Trails Matter

For research compliance (IRB, GDPR, HIPAA), you may need to demonstrate:

* **Who** accessed participant data and **when**
* What **actions** were taken on the data
* Which specific **datasets** were involved

NeuroFusion's audit trail captures all of this automatically.

## Tracked Actions

| Action        | Description                                     |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `view`        | A user viewed a dataset or participant response |
| `download`    | A user downloaded dataset files                 |
| `delete`      | A user deleted a dataset                        |
| `ai_analysis` | AI-powered analysis was run on the data         |

## Viewing the Audit Trail

1. Navigate to your **Organization** settings
2. Select the **Audit Log** tab
3. Browse the log entries, which show:
   * **Timestamp** — When the action occurred
   * **User** — Who performed the action
   * **Action** — What was done (view, download, delete, AI analysis)
   * **Quest** — Which quest the data belongs to
   * **Details** — Additional metadata (file names, dataset IDs, etc.)

## Availability

The data audit trail is available for **organization-owned quests**. Personal quests (not associated with an organization) do not generate audit entries.

<Info>
  Audit trail data is retained indefinitely and cannot be modified or deleted. This ensures the integrity of the compliance record.
