TLDR
We encrypt all your stored files with AES-256, the same standard banks and government agencies use. When files move between your device and our servers, TLS/SSL creates a protected tunnel so no one can intercept anything along the way. At the moment, since we do not use passwords, nobody can access your account unless they also have access to your email. We also include an option in settings to turn on that allows support to gain access to your account to help resolve issues when you need it. Meaning, even we can't access the content of your workspace.
We don't use your content to train AI models. When our AI features (transcription, smart search) process your files, they're doing that work for you alone, not feeding anything into training datasets that others would benefit from. However, depending on the models you select when chatting with AI in Eden, the data does flow through their systems in order to generate a response. At that point, your data is subject to their privacy policy. Within Eden, your files live on Railway S3's cloud infrastructure with standard industry protections, and we don't sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their own purposes. The only people who can access your files are you and anyone you specifically choose to share with.
How We Handle Your Data
At Eden, our team is dedicated to developing and implementing data privacy processes and safeguards that meet industry standards and best practices. We conduct ongoing training for our teams to ensure they are up to speed with developments in legislation and essential privacy and security practices.
Every Eden employee and contractor signs non-disclosure agreements to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.

GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that governs the collection and use of personal data of EU residents, and that allows data subjects to exercise control over their data.
As the GDPR is widely considered to be the most stringent global privacy standard, we have mapped our privacy program to the GDPR and other global privacy regulations including CCPA, PIPEDA, and LGPD.
Eden as Processor and Controller
The GDPR and other data protection legislation have two primary classifications related to the collection and processing of personal data: data controller and data processor.
A data controller determines the means and purposes for processing personal data, while a data processor is a party that processes data on behalf of the data controller.
Where you are a data controller or data processor, Eden is the data processor of personal data that you and your users upload to the Eden service. We process any such personal data at your direction and on your behalf, in accordance with our Data Processing Addendum.
Cross Border Transfers
We understand and adhere to the rules for international transfers of personal data outside of the European Economic Area and UK.
We ensure appropriate protection for international transfers through:
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): EU-approved contracts for data transfers
Data Processing Agreements: Contracts with all service providers
Technical Measures: Encryption and access controls regardless of location
Adequacy Decisions: Relying on official adequacy findings where available

At Eden, we believe in privacy by design, which means that privacy considerations are built into every aspect of our products and services from the outset. This includes the development of new products, features, and the selection of vendors. We conduct regular training with our personnel to reinforce that we need to think of user privacy at all stages of the development lifecycle.
