Security FAQ
Data protection and platform security
Data Protection
How is my data protected from other clients?
Clients are isolated in unprivileged Docker containers and only have access to their own data. Each container is completely separate from others on the same host machine with:
- Separate namespaces and cgroups
- Network isolation
- File system isolation
- Process isolation
How is my data protected from providers?
Provider security varies significantly:
- Tier 4 datacenters have extensive physical and operational security
- Individual hosts may have less formal security measures
Is my traffic encrypted?
Yes. All control-plane traffic uses TLS 1.2+ encryption. Instance-to-instance or user application traffic is encrypted depending on your own configuration.
Do you store my data after my instance is deleted?
No. Once you terminate an instance, its attached storage is removed permanently. We do not retain backups unless explicitly created by you.
How can I improve my security further?
- Use SSH keys instead of passwords
- Store API keys securely (never commit them)
- Enable firewalls or private networking
- Encrypt your own datasets before upload
