Security & Compliance

Data Processing Roles

Under GDPR:

  • You (the customer) are the Data Controller — you determine what data is processed and for what purpose
  • Aito (Episto Oy) is the Data Processor — we process data only as instructed by you

We process only the data you explicitly send to your Aito instance. We do not access, analyze, or use your data for any purpose other than providing the service.

Data Location & Hosting

All Aito infrastructure is hosted in the EU (Ireland, eu-west-1) on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Tenant Isolation

Each Aito instance operates in isolation:

  • Dedicated compute resources for Dev and Production plans
  • Sandbox plans share infrastructure but data is logically separated
  • No cross-tenant data access — your data is never accessible to other customers

Authentication & Access Control

  • API key authentication for all API access
  • Multiple API keys supported per instance
  • Key rotation available at any time through the console
  • No shared credentials — each customer manages their own keys

Encryption

  • In transit: All API communication uses TLS 1.2+
  • At rest: AWS-managed encryption for RDS and S3 storage

Data Retention

  • Deletion: Delete individual records or entire instances through the console
  • Portability: Standard JSON format for all data export
