4. AI Data Processing
Tectaflow uses third-party AI providers (Anthropic Claude) to power engineering calculations and design assistance.

6. Data Security
We protect your data with: HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, bcrypt password hashing, JWT-based authentication with short-lived tokens, and infrastructure-level security from our hosting providers. Enterprise plans include additional security features such as SSO/SAML, CMEK encryption, and audit logging.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data via your account settings
- Export your engineering data (calculations, simulations, drawings)
- Delete your account and associated data by contacting support
- Withdraw consent for optional data processing at any time
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@tectaflow.com.
8. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., billing records for tax purposes).
9. Cookies
We use essential cookies only: authentication tokens (HttpOnly, Secure) and session preferences. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
