Founder & CTO FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding system security, technical execution, timelines, and ownership.

I enforce data isolation directly at the database engine layer using PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) policies based on tenant_id context. This guarantees zero cross-tenant data leakage in shared-schema architectures. For AI models, all data is routed via zero-retention enterprise API endpoints (OpenAI, Claude) to ensure your proprietary customer data is never used for public model retraining.
