Data residency

Data is stored in EU and US regions. Institutional customers can choose their preferred data residency region at onboarding.

Secure development

We follow secure SDLC practices including code review, automated vulnerability scanning, dependency monitoring, and regular penetration testing.

Data retention and deletion

You control your data. Projects and associated data can be deleted at any time. Upon account closure, all data is purged within 30 days.

Subprocessor transparency

We maintain a public list of subprocessors. Customers are notified of any changes and can object under our DPA terms.
