# Overview

> Connecting your data to Contextual AI

Contextual AI data connectors enable you to seamlessly integrate data from third-party sources.

Key features include:

* **Full ingestion and indexing** - Data is ingested and indexed through our advanced pipeline, ensuring optimal performance and speed compared to live search.
* [Entitlements enforcement](#using-your-connector-with-entitlements-enforcement) - Permissions from your upstream data sources are automatically synced and enforced within the Contextual platform. Users without access to a document cannot see it in the Datastore or query against it.
* [Auto and manual syncing](#auto--manual-syncing) - Data updates are synced every 3 hours, while permissions are refreshed every hour to maintain freshness. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time to capture changes.
* **Folder-level selection** - Sync only the folders you need.
