Vector Vault implements enterprise-grade security measures to protect your data and ensure privacy compliance.

All data is secured both in transit and at rest with industry-standard encryption:

• In Transit: TLS/SSL encryption for all data transfers between clients and Vector Vault infrastructure
• At Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data, including vectors, metadata, and user content
• End-to-End Protection: Your data remains encrypted throughout the entire pipeline

Vector Vault employs robust access control mechanisms to ensure data security:

• API Authentication: Secure API key-based authentication for all requests
• Principle of Least Privilege: Users and API keys are granted only the minimum permissions necessary
• Isolated Vaults: Each vault is a completely separate namespace with independent access controls
• User Authorization: Multi-level permission system ensures only authorized users access specific resources

Your privacy is our highest priority:

• No Third-Party Sharing: We never share your data with third parties without explicit permission
• Data Ownership: You maintain complete ownership and control of your data
• Compliance Ready: Infrastructure designed to support GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliance requirements
• Tenant Isolation: Complete data isolation between different user accounts

Automated backup and disaster recovery systems protect against data loss:

• Automatic Backups: Regular automated backups of all vault data
• Disaster Recovery: Built-in failover and recovery mechanisms ensure high availability
• 99.9% Uptime SLA: Production-grade infrastructure with automatic failover
• Permanent Deletion: User-deleted data is permanently removed and cannot be recovered, ensuring privacy

API keys are protected with industry-standard security practices:

• Hashed Storage: API keys are stored using secure cryptographic hashing (not reversible)
• Easy Rotation: Generate new API keys instantly if one is compromised
• Instant Revocation: Immediately disable exposed keys to prevent unauthorized access
• Password Protection: API key generation and management protected by user password authentication

When using Vector Vault, we recommend:

1. Rotate API Keys Regularly: Update keys periodically and when team members change
2. Use Environment Variables: Never hardcode API keys in source code
3. Monitor Access Logs: Review API usage for suspicious activity
4. Separate Environments: Use different API keys for development, staging, and production
5. Secure Storage: Store API keys in secure secret management systems (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.)
