    Due Diligence Reference

    Data Residency & AI Infrastructure

    Where your data lives, which AI models process it, how it is protected, and every third party involved: the four questions every due diligence review asks, answered in one place.

    Last updated: August 2026

    1. Data Storage & Hosting

    Yes, Voltade stores personal data on behalf of its customers: typically business contact records (names, phone numbers, email addresses), conversation and message history, and the operational data customers connect to the platform. Voltade acts as a data intermediary (processor); the customer remains the data controller.

    Primary region: AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore), ap-southeast-1

    Production databases, file storage, and encrypted backups reside in the AWS Singapore region. Amazon Web Services is our primary cloud infrastructure provider; Cloudflare provides DNS, CDN, WAF, and DDoS protection at the network edge. Microsoft Azure is used as secondary cloud and AI compute for specific workloads, and Hetzner (EU) hosts selected workloads only where contracted for EU/GDPR engagements.

    2. AI Model Infrastructure

    Voltade's agents use frontier large language models accessed via API through a central model gateway, which enforces provider allow-lists, logging, and per-tenant controls. We do not train, fine-tune, or host our own foundation models, and customer data is never used to train any AI model: inputs are processed ephemerally (retrieval-augmented generation) and are not retained by model providers for training.

    Model ProviderPurposeProcessing LocationSafeguards
    Anthropic (Claude)Primary large language models for agent reasoning and draftingAPI access, US-hosted inferenceZero data retention available under API terms; no training on customer data
    OpenAI (GPT)Large language models for selected tasksAPI access, US-hosted inferenceAPI data excluded from training by default; enterprise retention controls
    Google (Gemini)Large language models for selected tasksAPI access, US-hosted inferencePaid API data not used to train models

    The specific model versions in use evolve with the frontier; the providers, controls, and no-training guarantees above are contractual and stable. Per-engagement model details are available on request.

    3. Privacy & Security Protocols

    • Encryption: AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit for all customer data, including backups
    • Tenant isolation: per-tenant data isolation enforced with database row-level security across the multi-tenant platform
    • Data minimisation towards AI providers: only the minimum context required for a given task is sent to a model; credentials and secrets are never included in model context
    • Access control: least-privilege, role-based access with MFA on privileged accounts; customer data access by Voltade staff is need-based and logged
    • Monitoring: audit logging, alerting, and observability across production (see Security Principles)
    • Assessments: CASA Tier 2 penetration tested (9.7/10), CSA Cyber Essentials certified, DPIAs for new personal-data processing

    Beyond encryption and isolation, dedicated privacy-enhancing technologies (e.g. homomorphic encryption, differential privacy) are not currently deployed; data minimisation, contractual no-training terms, and ephemeral processing are the operative safeguards for AI workloads.

    4. Third-Party Providers

    Every third party involved in delivering Voltade's services is published in our sub-processor register: AWS (primary hosting), Cloudflare (edge network), Microsoft Azure (secondary cloud & AI compute), Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (AI models via API), Hetzner (EU hosting where contracted), SigNoz/Sentry (observability), and Windmill (self-hosted automation). Each is bound by a written agreement with data protection obligations equivalent to those we owe our customers, per our Personal Data Protection Policy. No customer engagement is subcontracted to any other party without the customer's knowledge and agreement.
