1. Overview

This Policy describes how Cliont stores and protects data, including intake content (text, documents, audio, video), and sets retention schedules.

Encryption. TLS in transit; industry‑standard encryption at rest.

3. Segmentation & access controls

Tenant‑aware data segregation; least‑privilege access; SSO/MFA options; role‑based permissions; logging and alerting; periodic reviews.

Employee confidentiality and security training; background checks where permitted.

We maintain a written incident‑response plan with 24/7 escalation. If a security breach compromises PI, we will notify affected customers and/or individuals without unreasonable delay under applicable law and contract.
