The collected reviews are deposited each night at 3 am on the (S)FTP partition of your choice in CSV or XML format.
You can configure the feedback flow through your back office space at any time (Integration → Retrieve your reviews → Flow management), the identifiers of which will remain confidential. We can create an SFTP account on our servers if needed.
