Data Protection

How we protect your data

At Conteqx, data protection is built into the foundation of our architecture. We employ multiple layers of security to ensure your data remains private, secure, and under your control.

Encryption Standards

We employ industry-leading encryption standards across our entire platform:

Data in Transit

All communications use TLS 1.3, the latest and most secure transport layer protocol.

Data at Rest

All stored data is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions and governments.

API Keys

Encrypted using AES-256-GCM with unique initialization vectors. We use a zero-knowledge architecture - we never have access to your plaintext API keys.

Database

Our database uses transparent data encryption (TDE) with automatic key rotation.

Local-First Architecture

Conteqx is built with a local-first philosophy. By default, your data stays on your device:

  • Conversation history stored locally in your browser
  • No server-side logging of chat content
  • Optional cloud sync with end-to-end encryption
  • Export your data at any time in standard formats
  • Delete local data instantly through the settings

Access Control

We implement strict access controls to minimize exposure of your data:

  • Principle of least privilege for all team members
  • Multi-factor authentication required for all internal systems
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) for administrative functions
  • Automated access reviews and audit logging
  • Segregation of duties for critical operations

Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure is designed for security and resilience:

  • Hosted on SOC 2 compliant cloud providers
  • Automated security patching and updates
  • DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall (WAF)
  • Regular penetration testing by third-party security firms
  • Continuous vulnerability scanning with automated alerting
  • Network segmentation to isolate sensitive components
  • Automated backups with encryption
