Privacy policy

What we collect — and what we don't

DataCollectedPurposeRetention
Web analytics (page views, referrers) Yes — aggregate only Cloudflare Web Analytics. No cookies. No fingerprinting. No personal data. Aggregate page view counts only. 30 days aggregate
Email address (trial registration) Yes Trial tenant provisioning; magic link delivery; account recovery Duration of account + 30 days after deletion
API key and tenant ID Yes Authentication and authorisation for API calls Duration of account
Governance evidence content (prompts, documents, customer data) No We record hashes of governance evidence, not the evidence itself. Your data never enters our systems.
Gate evidence fields (G1–G5 gate result objects) Yes — in proof bundles Gate evidence is committed in the proof bundle and stored at a durable URI for replay. The evidence is the governance record. Permanent (log is append-only)
IP address Cloudflare only Cloudflare's standard infrastructure logging. We do not log IP addresses at the application level. Cloudflare retention (varies)

No marketing cookies. No third-party tracking. No data brokerage. The only data we store beyond your email and API key is the governance record you submit — and that's the point.
