Security & Compliance: HIPAA, GDPR, & Data Privacy

Encryption: TLS/SSL for Data in Transit

All data transmitted between your devices and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols. This ensures that data cannot be intercepted or read during transmission.

Data at Rest: Military-Grade Encryption (AES-256)

All data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256 encryption—the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Your data is unreadable even if physical access is gained.

Secure Data Centers

Our data centers are secure, audited facilities with 24/7 monitoring, physical security controls, and redundant systems. We use industry-leading cloud providers with proven security track records.

Access Controls: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

We implement role-based access control, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access specific data. You control who has access to your AI and your data.

Audit Logs: Complete Access Tracking

Every access to your data is tracked and logged. You can see who accessed what, when, and from where. Complete transparency and auditability.

Regular, Encrypted Backups

Your data is backed up regularly with encrypted backups stored in secure, geographically distributed locations. This ensures data recovery in case of any issues.

Data Residency

You can choose where your data is stored. We offer data residency options in multiple regions to meet your compliance requirements.

Data Retention

You control how long data is kept. Set retention policies that meet your requirements, or request immediate deletion.

Data Deletion

You can request data deletion anytime. We'll permanently delete your data from all systems within 30 days (or faster for urgent requests).

User Control

Full control over your data. Export it, delete it, or modify it anytime through our platform.

No Data Selling

We don't sell your data. Ever. Your data is used only to provide the AI service you've requested, nothing more.

How to Secure Your AI Clone

• Use strong passwords: Create a unique, strong password for your AIyou account. Use a password manager to generate and store secure passwords.
• Enable two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of security with 2FA. This prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
• Limit access: Only share your AI clone link with intended audiences. Use access controls if available to restrict who can interact with your AI.
• Monitor activity: Regularly check your analytics for unusual activity. Look for spikes in usage or conversations that seem suspicious.

Password Management

Use a password manager (1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden) to generate and store strong, unique passwords. Never reuse passwords across platforms. Enable password expiration if handling sensitive data. Consider using passphrase-based passwords (longer, easier to remember, harder to crack).

Access Control Setup

Configure access controls in your dashboard: (1) Set who can access your AI (public, private, password-protected), (2) Limit API access to specific IP addresses if needed, (3) Set up role-based access for team members, (4) Regularly review and revoke unused access. This ensures only authorized users can interact with your AI.

Regular Security Audits

Conduct regular security audits: (1) Review who has access to your account monthly, (2) Check for unusual activity in analytics, (3) Update passwords every 90 days, (4) Review API keys and revoke unused ones, (5) Check for software updates and security patches. Regular audits help catch issues early.
