Privacy-First: Not a Feature,
an Architecture

Built from day one with compliance-by-design. Multi-layered isolation ensures your organizational data stays yours—architecturally, not just contractually.

Design Principles

Privacy by Architecture

Data isolation isn't enforced by application logic alone—it's built into the data access layer, backed by database-level policies (Phase 6), and partitioned across regions. Breaching one layer doesn't compromise the system.

Complete Transparency

Every data access logged. Every configuration change tracked. Full audit trail accessible to account administrators. We don't just promise transparency—we architect it into every query.

Minimal Data Exposure

We analyze behavioral patterns, not identities. Organizational signals are detected through aggregated telemetry, keeping individual-level data encrypted and isolated within tenant boundaries.

Compliance by Design

GDPR Article 44+ data residency built into infrastructure. SOC 2 controls designed before code. We're implementing certification, not retrofitting technology.

Three-Layer Isolation Model

Defense-in-depth through application, database, and infrastructure layers. Each layer independently enforces tenant isolation.

L1

Application Layer: Data Access Layer (DAL)

Every database query flows through a single Data Access Layer that automatically injectsWHERE account_id = session.accountIdderived from authenticated JWT. No direct database access. No unscoped queries.

Status: ✓ Operational
326 lines of security-critical code in frontend/lib/db/dal.ts
L2

Database Layer: Row-Level Security (RLS)

PostgreSQL RLS policies enforce tenant isolation at the database engine level. Session variableSET app.current_account_idinjected per connection. Even if application logic fails, database rejects cross-tenant queries.

Status: → Phase 6 (Coming Weeks)
Policy design complete, implementation scheduled
L3

Infrastructure Layer: Regional Partitioning

Multi-region database routing based on accountdata_regionfield. European data stays in EU-West, US data in US-East. Physical isolation meets GDPR Article 44+ jurisdictional requirements.

Status: → Phase 6 (Coming Weeks)
Infrastructure evaluation complete, provisioning scheduled

What's Protecting Your Data Today

JWT-Based Auth

HS256 tokens signed with shared secret. Account ID embedded in session, validated on every request. Backend rejects requests without valid bearer token.

Complete Audit Log

Every user action logged with timestamp, IP address, resource accessed, and change metadata. Searchable, filterable, immutable audit trail.

Cloud-Native Storage

Cloudflare R2 object storage with account-scoped prefixes. Tenant data physically separated through storage path isolation.

Why Privacy-First Matters

Most analytics platforms bolt on privacy features after building the product. We did the opposite—designed the entire architecture around tenant isolation, audit transparency, and compliance constraints.

This isn't marketing. It's 5 years of deliberate design decisions:

  • We can't sell your data because we architecturally cannot see identifiable data across tenant boundaries
  • We can't accidentally leak data because every query is scoped at the DAL, validated at the database, and partitioned at infrastructure
  • You can verify our claims because every data access is logged and available for audit

In an era of surveillance capitalism, privacy-first isn't a competitive disadvantage—it's the foundation of trust.
