Security & Privacy

How Your Data Stays Protected

Every step of this pipeline runs on Swiss-hosted infrastructure with end-to-end encryption. Data never persists, never trains models, and never leaves the secure tunnel.

🔒

Local Processing

Scanned image stays on your computer until you initiate upload. No background syncing, no automatic cloud backup.

→

🛡️

TLS 1.3 Encryption

Data travels via encrypted tunnel (AES-256). Even if intercepted, it's unreadable without the decryption key.

→

🇨🇭

Swiss Server (Infomaniak)

Physical servers located in Geneva. Swiss privacy law applies (stricter than GDPR). No US Patriot Act access.

→

⚡

Volatile RAM Processing

AI models run in memory only. No disk writes. When processing completes, RAM is wiped clean.

→

📤

Return + Purge

Structured JSON returned to you. Original image deleted from server within 5 seconds. Zero persistence.

Option A

Swiss API (Agile)

Utilizes Infomaniak's AI Tools (Geneva). Data sent via TLS, processed in volatile RAM, never used for training.

Swiss privacy law (stricter than GDPR)
Zero storage persistence
No model training on data

This is the pipeline shown above

Option B

On-Premise GPU (Air-Gapped)

Dedicated workstation running open-weights models (Llama-3-Vision, Mistral) on internal network.

100% data sovereignty
No bytes leave building
Full control over updates

Final Output: Database Entry

Query: SELECT * FROM artworks WHERE lot_number = '100';

Lot No.	Artist	Title	Estimate	Visual Tags	Source
100	Hodler (Ferd.)	Der liegende Stier	—	lying ox, cart wheel, landscape, 1879	bollag1924_11_28.pdf, p. 15 + Tafel XIV

This record is now searchable via natural language queries (e.g., "painting with lying ox and cart wheel") and linked to the original source document.
