Security and privacy
Where your data lives, who can access it and what we do when something goes wrong. No badge parade — only what we actually do.
Ce document n'a pas encore été traduit dans cette langue. Le texte anglais ci-dessous est la version qui fait foi.
1.EU data storage
En bref : your personal data lives in Europe — the database in Frankfurt.
Our primary database (Supabase, Postgres) is in Frankfurt. The sites we build are hosted and delivered by Vercel, a US company, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. AI requests go through OpenRouter and are processed in the EU, by US companies. The full overview with locations is in the privacy policy.
2.Encryption
En bref : encrypted in transit and at rest.
All traffic to chatbuild.com, your dashboard and the sites we host runs over TLS (https). Data in the database and in object storage is stored encrypted. Sites we publish automatically get a valid certificate — nothing for you to do.
3.Access control and MFA
En bref : as few people as possible, with two-step verification.
Internal access to production systems is limited to the people who really need it (least privilege) and always sits behind multi-factor authentication. Rights are granted per role and revoked as soon as someone no longer needs them. Support does not look into your data uninvited; only when needed to solve a problem, and that is logged.
4.Logging and monitoring
En bref : we keep track of what happens, so we spot errors and abuse quickly.
We log system events, errors and data access, and monitor for unusual patterns. Logs have restricted access and are not used for anything other than security, troubleshooting and quality. Retention periods are in the privacy policy.
5.Backups and recovery
En bref : we make backups and test whether we can restore them.
We make regular encrypted backups of the database. Our recovery objectives: at most 24 hours of data loss (RPO) and a recovery time of at most 24 hours (RTO). We test restores periodically — a backup you've never restored is not a backup.
6.Separation of customer environments
En bref : your data and other customers' data stay strictly separated.
Customer data is logically separated: every request is bound to one customer context, and the database enforces that data can only be retrieved within its own environment. The generated sites are separate from each other too, each on its own domain.
7.Security scan at publication
En bref : before a site goes live, we check it for unsafe content.
At publication we automatically check for signs of phishing and malware, and for links to known harmful domains. If the check trips, the site does not go live and we contact you.
8.Prompt injection and AI misuse
En bref : the AI may only work on your site — not on someone else's.
Because our AI works with your messages and supplied content, we take specific measures:
- the AI operates within strict boundaries: only on its own customer environment, with limited rights;
- content coming from messages and uploads is treated as untrusted input, not as instructions;
- sensitive actions (such as publishing or connecting a domain) require your explicit confirmation;
- rate limits and abuse detection on messages and AI edits;
- we don't train models on your data, unless you choose to allow it — see the privacy policy.
9.Incident procedure
En bref : if something goes wrong, you hear it from us — fast and without weasel words.
We have a fixed procedure: identify and contain, investigate what happened, recover, and inform. If it concerns personal data we process for you, we notify you without unreasonable delay and at the latest within 24 hours, with the information you need for a possible notification to the supervisory authority. The arrangements are in article 9 of the data processing agreement. Afterwards we record what we change to prevent repetition.
10.Staff and confidentiality
En bref : everyone at our end is bound to confidentiality and knows how we handle data.
Employees and engaged specialists are contractually bound to confidentiality and only get access to what their work requires. They are instructed on working securely and handling personal data. When someone leaves, we revoke access immediately.
11.Testing and pentests
En bref : we have our security tested periodically, at cadence yearly and before major changes.
In addition to automated checks on dependencies and configuration, we have penetration tests performed at a cadence of yearly and before major changes. Findings are addressed by risk. As a business customer you can request a summary of the latest test via security@chatbuild.com.
12.Responsible disclosure
En bref : found a vulnerability? Report it — and we take no legal action against you.
Report a vulnerability to security@chatbuild.com with enough detail to reproduce it. What you can expect from us:
- we confirm your report within 5 working days;
- we keep you informed of the fix;
- at your request we credit you as the finder once the issue is resolved;
- we take no legal action against reporters who act in good faith and stick to the rules below.
What we ask of you: don't view, change or download other people's data, don't disrupt any service (no DDoS, spam or brute force), no social engineering or physical break-ins, don't share a vulnerability with third parties before it's fixed, and don't leave backdoors. We offer no monetary reward, unless stated otherwise on no reward programme.
13.What we do not (yet) claim
Rather honest than impressive. At this moment we do not have:
- an ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification;
- an external audit statement about our security;
- a guaranteed uptime percentage or hard SLA (see article 12 of the terms);
- full independence from non-EU companies: the sites we build run on Vercel (US), and AI requests are processed in the EU but pass through US companies (OpenRouter, AWS, Google).
If that changes, we update this page — we put nothing here that we can't substantiate.

Questions fréquentes
Des réponses rapides à ce qu'on nous demande le plus ici.
Le domaine m'appartient-il vraiment ?
Oui. Votre domaine est enregistré à votre nom. Dès lors que ses factures sont réglées, vous recevez son code de transfert et pouvez le déplacer chez un autre prestataire.

Où mes données sont-elles stockées ?
Vos données personnelles sont stockées sur des serveurs situés dans l'UE (Francfort). Les sites publiés sont diffusés par Vercel, et les requêtes d'IA sont traitées dans l'UE par des entreprises américaines — la liste complète figure dans notre politique de confidentialité. Nous ne collectons pas plus que nécessaire et ne revendons jamais de données.
Avez-vous un contrat de sous-traitance des données ?
Oui, il est inclus d'office dans chaque formule. Lire le contrat de sous-traitance
