We take data security seriously. Project Datum is served over HTTPS and uses standard web security protections (including secure cookie and CSRF protections). Production data is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database on Render. Render Postgres provides encryption at rest (AES-256) and encryption in transit (TLS) for external connections.

During beta, we're continually improving security controls and hardening our configuration. If you have specific security questions (or need a security overview for your organization), contact us.

Application data is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database hosted on Render's infrastructure. Render provides encryption at rest (AES-256) and TLS for connections to the database.

If you need details like region, retention, backups, or high-availability configuration for your workspace, we can provide those specifics to approved customers/beta participants on request.

Yes. Render continuously backs up paid Render Postgres databases and supports point-in-time recovery (PITR). The recovery window depends on the Render workspace plan (for example, 3 days on Hobby and 7 days on Professional+).

Render supports PostgreSQL High Availability (HA) for eligible instance types and also provides reliability features like read replicas and point-in-time recovery. HA is enabled by configuration and may vary by workspace.

Render (our hosting platform provider) documents compliance with security frameworks such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.

Project Datum's own security program and controls are evolving during beta. Contact us if you need vendor/security documentation for your evaluation.

Many customers have GDPR-related requirements. Render offers a Data Processing Addendum (DPA), and we can support GDPR-aligned data processing arrangements for eligible customers/beta participants upon request.
