What we have today, and what is on the roadmap

Procurement teams want a yes-or-no on each framework with a date attached. That is what this card is. Anything you do not see here, treat as “not pursued”; do not infer.

§3Data handling

What we collect, where it lives, how long it stays, and what AI sees.

Customer data
You own your inputs and outputs. We process them only to run the Service.
AI training
No. Anthropic API runs under a contractual no-training clause. We run no training pipeline of our own.
Retention
Account data while active. 30 days grace after deletion, then GDPR Art 17 erasure.
Suppression list
Indefinite. Lawful basis for honouring opt-outs · GDPR Art 17(3)(b).
Plain EnglishCustomer data lives in Supabase US plus Hetzner EU and never trains a model. Anthropic sees prompts and outputs to do the inference and does not retain them past its 30-day abuse-monitoring window. Sub-processors get the minimum each one needs.

What we collect. Account fields (email, organisation, billing contact), domains and ICP configurations you submit, generated profiles and outreach drafts, support and product-event telemetry, and OAuth tokens for the integrations you connect. Nothing else.

Where it lives. The primary database is Supabase Postgres in us-east-1. API workers and pipeline queues run on Hetzner in Germany (EU). Inference traffic to Anthropic terminates in us-east-1 under SCCs (2021/914) plus the UK addendum; no customer payload is retained server-side beyond Anthropic’s 30-day abuse-monitoring window.

Retention. Account data persists for the lifetime of your account. After deletion you have 30 days to export from Billing. After 30 days the GDPR Article 17 erasure runbook deletes account rows, customer data, OAuth tokens, and per-customer logs. Aggregated, anonymised metrics that drive product reliability persist beyond deletion, as described in our Terms §11.

AI training. Kustiq does not use customer inputs or outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model. Inference goes to Anthropic under their Commercial Terms, which prohibit training on API inputs and outputs. We run no training pipeline of our own.

§4Sub-processors

Twelve vendors, alphabetical. Each card links to the vendor’s DPA. Material additions get 30 days’ email notice and a documented right to object.

§6Incident history

Material incidents only. We define material as anything triggering a GDPR Art 33 notification or sustained downtime above 30 minutes.

0Material data incidents to date

Zero material data incidents.

No incident has triggered a GDPR Art 33 notification. Live uptime, planned maintenance, and any operational events appear on /status. Material incidents trigger an email to the billing and security contacts on file within 72 hours, followed by a public post-mortem within 7 days.

§7Procurement questions, answered

Six questions that appear in every vendor-risk form. Each answer stands alone.

Is Kustiq SOC 2 compliant?

Kustiq has not pursued SOC 2 in 2026. The full controls catalogue and current implementation status are on this page in §2. We respond to SIG-Lite, CAIQ-Lite, and standard vendor-risk questionnaires within two business days. Email support@kustiq.com with your form attached.

Where is customer data stored, and does it leave the EU?

The primary database runs on Supabase in us-east-1. API workers and pipeline queues run on Hetzner in Germany (EU). Inference traffic to Anthropic terminates in us-east-1 under SCCs (2021/914) plus the UK addendum. No payload is retained server-side beyond Anthropic’s 30-day abuse-monitoring window.

Does Kustiq train AI models on our data?

Kustiq does not use customer inputs or outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Inference goes to Anthropic under their Commercial Terms, which prohibit training on API inputs and outputs. We run no training pipeline of our own.

Can we get a signed DPA, and what is your sub-processor change policy?

Our standard DPA is on the /dpa page; signed countersigning by email takes one business day. Material additions to the sub-processor list are announced by email to the billing contact at least 30 days before they take effect, with a documented right to object that pauses the addition for your tenant.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

You have 30 days from cancellation to export everything from Billing. After 30 days the GDPR Article 17 erasure runbook deletes account rows, customer data, OAuth tokens, and per-customer logs. Aggregated, anonymised metrics persist beyond deletion as described in Terms §11. Email addresses you marked as suppressed remain on the global suppression list under Art 17(3)(b).

Has Kustiq had a security incident, and how would we be notified?

No incident to date has triggered a GDPR Art 33 notification. Material incidents trigger an email within 72 hours per Art 33, routed to the billing and security contacts on file, followed by a public post-mortem on /status within 7 days.
