Privacy Policy
1. Introduction & Scope
LangProtect (“LangProtect,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides security infrastructure designed to protect artificial intelligence systems, applications, and workflows. We recognize that trust is foundational to security, and that trust begins with transparency around how data is handled.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and protect information when individuals or organizations access or use LangProtect’s websites, platforms, APIs, dashboards, extensions, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). It also outlines the rights and choices available to users regarding their personal data.
This policy is intended to meet the requirements of global data protection regulations, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable privacy laws.
Who This Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- Visitors to LangProtect’s websites
- Users who create accounts or authenticate into the LangProtect platform
- Customers and authorized users accessing dashboards, APIs, or extensions
- Individuals interacting with LangProtect in a business or professional capacity
This policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or platforms that may be linked from LangProtect’s Services, which are governed by their own privacy policies.
Role of LangProtect
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, LangProtect acts as a data controller with respect to personal information related to account creation, access management, and platform administration.
LangProtect’s role is limited to providing security controls and visibility for AI interactions. We do not operate consumer-facing AI models, nor do we independently determine the content or purpose of customer-generated AI prompts.
Scope of Information Covered
This Privacy Policy governs:
- Personal information provided directly by users
- Information processed in connection with account access and platform usage
- Technical and operational data required to secure and operate the Services
It does not govern the underlying data processed by customers’ AI models outside the LangProtect platform.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or our Services. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where required by law, provide additional notice.
2. Information We Collect
LangProtect is designed to minimize data collection by default. We collect and process only the information necessary to provide, secure, and operate our Services. We do not collect data for advertising purposes, behavioral profiling, or AI model training.
The categories below describe the types of information that may be processed when users interact with LangProtect.
Information You Provide Directly
When individuals or organizations create an account or interact with the LangProtect platform, we may process the following information:
- Account and Identity Information
- Full name
- Work email address
- Company or organization name
- Job role or functional title (optional, where provided)
This information is used solely for account creation, authentication, access control, and customer communication.
Authentication and Access Data
To secure access to the LangProtect platform and APIs, we process technical credentials and identifiers, including:
- User authentication credentials (hashed and secured)
- API keys associated with projects or environments
- Access tokens and role-based permissions
- Password reset and account verification data
LangProtect does not store plaintext passwords. Authentication information is processed using industry-standard security practices.
Platform Usage and Configuration Data
When users access dashboards, configure scanners, define policies, or review analytics, LangProtect processes:
- Project identifiers
- Policy configurations and scanner selections
- Role assignments within an organization
- High-level usage metrics required for operational visibility
This data is used to provide functionality, enforce security policies, and ensure system integrity.
AI Interaction Metadata (Processed, Not Stored)
LangProtect operates as a security layer between users and AI systems. In doing so, it may process AI interaction data transiently, including:
- Inputs submitted to AI systems
- Outputs generated by AI systems
- Detection signals related to security risks (e.g., policy violations, threats)
Important clarification:
LangProtect processes this data in real time for security analysis only. We do not:
- Store prompt or response content
- Use AI interaction data to train models
- Retain customer data beyond what is required for immediate security enforcement
Technical and Operational Information
To operate and secure the Services, we may collect limited technical information, such as:
- IP addresses (used for security, abuse prevention, and access control)
- Device and browser type
- Timestamps of access events
- Performance and latency metrics
This information helps maintain reliability, detect misuse, and improve platform stability.
Information We Do Not Collect
LangProtect does not intentionally collect:
- Personal data unrelated to business use
- Sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for account access
- Consumer behavioral profiles
- Data for advertising or marketing networks
We also do not deploy cookies or tracking technologies for advertising purposes.
3. How We Use Information
LangProtect processes information solely for the purpose of delivering, securing, and maintaining its AI security services. Every instance of data processing is tied to a clearly defined operational, security, or legal objective. We do not process information in ways that are unrelated, excessive, or incompatible with these purposes.
Our approach is intentionally restrictive. Information is processed only to the extent necessary to operate the Services, enforce security controls, and provide visibility into AI-related risks. LangProtect does not monetize personal data, does not use processed information for advertising or marketing purposes, and does not use any customer data to train or improve machine learning or artificial intelligence models.
Providing, Operating, and Administering the Services
LangProtect processes basic account and organizational information in order to provide access to the platform and administer user accounts. This includes enabling account creation, authenticating users, managing organizational workspaces, and maintaining secure access to dashboards, APIs, and configuration interfaces.
Information such as names, work email addresses, company names, job roles, passwords, and API keys is processed to ensure that only authorized users can access the Services and that actions taken within the platform can be accurately attributed to the correct user or organization. This processing is essential to delivering the Services in a secure and reliable manner.
Without processing this information, LangProtect would be unable to establish user identity, enforce role-based access controls, or apply organization-specific security policies. All such processing is limited to what is necessary to support normal platform functionality.
Enabling AI Security Controls and Policy Enforcement
A core function of LangProtect is to protect AI systems from misuse, unauthorized access, and unintended data exposure. To achieve this, LangProtect processes AI interaction data in real time to apply scanners, policies, and security guardrails.
This processing allows LangProtect to identify and respond to risks such as prompt injection attempts, sensitive data leakage, policy violations, unsafe outputs, and other forms of AI misuse. The analysis is performed transiently and contextually, meaning inputs and outputs are examined only for the duration required to apply the relevant security controls.
LangProtect does not persist, store, or reuse AI interaction content beyond what is necessary to enforce security policies and provide immediate protection. Processed AI data is not retained for training, analytics unrelated to security, or any secondary purpose.
Threat Detection, Logging, and Security Visibility
LangProtect processes security-related metadata to detect threats, surface incidents, and provide visibility into AI security events. This includes information about when security rules are triggered, what types of risks are detected, and how the system responds.
This information enables organizations to understand how their AI systems are being used, where potential vulnerabilities exist, and how security posture evolves over time. Security logs and analytics are designed to support accountability, auditing, and informed decision-making.
Processing in this context is strictly focused on security outcomes. It is not used to infer user behavior beyond what is necessary to identify threats, nor is it used to evaluate individual performance or productivity.
Maintaining Platform Performance, Stability, and Reliability
LangProtect processes technical and operational data to ensure the Services function reliably and efficiently. This includes monitoring system performance, request volumes, response times, error rates, and infrastructure health.
Processing this information allows us to diagnose issues, optimize performance, prevent service degradation, and ensure high availability. It also helps us detect abnormal usage patterns that may indicate misuse or attempted abuse of the platform.
This type of processing is essential for maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and does not involve the inspection or storage of customer content beyond what is required for operational integrity.
Improving and Evolving the Services
LangProtect may process aggregated and de-identified usage information to understand how the Services are used and to inform product improvements. This helps us identify feature adoption trends, performance bottlenecks, and areas where security controls can be strengthened.
Any such analysis is conducted using information that cannot reasonably be used to identify individuals or organizations. We do not analyze customer data at an individual level for product development purposes, and we do not use processed information to train AI models.
Compliance With Legal Obligations and Protection of Rights
In certain circumstances, LangProtect may process information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or lawful requests from government authorities. We may also process information to enforce our terms of service, prevent fraud or abuse, protect the security of our users, and defend against legal claims.
Such processing is conducted only when legally required or legitimately necessary, and always in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Explicit Limitations on Use
For clarity and transparency, LangProtect explicitly does not use processed information to:
- Train, fine-tune, or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine learning models
- Build behavioral profiles of users or employees
- Deliver targeted advertising or marketing
- Sell, rent, or trade personal data
- Share customer data with third parties for independent use
Our use of information is purpose-bound, security-focused, and aligned with enterprise and regulatory expectations.
4. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
LangProtect processes personal data only when there is a valid and lawful basis to do so under applicable data protection laws. For users located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions with similar frameworks, this section explains the legal grounds on which LangProtect relies, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and comparable regulations.
We do not process personal data arbitrarily. Each category of processing described in this Privacy Policy is tied to one or more legally recognized bases for processing.
Performance of a Contract
The primary legal basis for processing personal data is the performance of a contract between LangProtect and the organization or individual using the Services.
When users create an account, access dashboards, configure security policies, generate API keys, or interact with the platform in any way, LangProtect processes certain personal data in order to:
- Provide access to the Services
- Authenticate users and secure accounts
- Apply organization-specific configurations and policies
- Deliver the functionality explicitly requested by the user
Without processing this information, LangProtect would be unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. This includes processing identifiers such as names, work email addresses, company information, job roles, passwords, and API credentials.
Legitimate Interests
LangProtect processes certain personal data based on its legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Our legitimate interests include:
- Securing the platform against misuse, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Detecting, preventing, and responding to AI-related security threats
- Maintaining the integrity, availability, and reliability of the Services
- Improving platform performance and operational stability
- Ensuring accountability through audit logs and security monitoring
When relying on legitimate interests, LangProtect carefully evaluates the necessity and proportionality of the processing and implements safeguards to minimize impact on individuals. Processing under this basis is strictly limited to what is required to achieve security and operational objectives.
Compliance With Legal Obligations
LangProtect may process personal data where such processing is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
This includes obligations under applicable laws relating to:
- Data protection and privacy
- Cybersecurity and information security
- Financial, accounting, and tax requirements
- Lawful requests from public authorities
In these cases, processing is limited to what the law requires and is conducted in accordance with applicable legal standards.
Consent
In limited circumstances, LangProtect may rely on consent as a legal basis for processing personal data.
Where consent is required, it will be:
- Freely given
- Specific and informed
- Unambiguous
- Revocable at any time
Users may withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. LangProtect does not rely on consent for core platform functionality or security-related processing.
Vital Interests and Public Interest
LangProtect does not typically process personal data based on vital interests or public interest grounds. However, these bases may apply in exceptional circumstances where processing is necessary to protect individuals from serious harm or where required by law.
No Automated Decision-Making with Legal Effects
LangProtect does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant impacts on individuals, as defined under GDPR Article 22.
While the platform applies automated security controls to AI interactions, these controls operate at a system level and are designed to protect organizations, not to make determinations about individuals.
Global Applicability of Legal Bases
For users located outside the EU and UK, LangProtect processes personal data in accordance with applicable local laws and principles that align with the same core standards: lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and security.
Where local laws require additional disclosures or rights, LangProtect honors those requirements as applicable.
5. Data Processing, Retention, and Storage Limitations
LangProtect is designed as a real-time AI security layer. As a result, the way data is handled by the platform is intentionally restrictive by design. This section explains how data is processed, how long it exists within the system, and the limits LangProtect places on storage and retention.
Real-Time Processing Only
LangProtect processes data only for the purpose of providing real-time security controls.
When users or systems interact with AI models through LangProtect, the content of those interactions may be analyzed transiently to detect security risks such as prompt injection, sensitive data exposure, policy violations, or other forms of misuse. This processing occurs in-memory and in transit, strictly to evaluate the request or response against configured security scanners and policies.
LangProtect does not ingest, store, or persist full AI prompts, responses, or contextual content beyond what is operationally required to enforce security decisions.
No Long-Term Storage of AI Content
LangProtect does not store AI prompts, AI responses, or customer data for long-term use.
Once a security decision is made, such as allowing, modifying, or blocking an interaction, the content is immediately discarded. The platform is architected to avoid creating repositories of user-generated or AI-generated content.
This design ensures that:
- Customer data does not accumulate over time
- Sensitive information is not retained beyond necessity
- Exposure risk is minimized by default
LangProtect’s role is to mediate, not to collect.
Operational Metadata and Security Logs
While LangProtect does not store AI content, limited operational metadata may be processed and retained for security, audit, and reliability purposes.
This metadata may include:
- Timestamps of requests
- Scanner or policy identifiers triggered
- Severity levels or classification outcomes
- System performance metrics such as latency
This information is used solely to provide dashboards, analytics, threat visibility, and operational insight to customers. It does not include full prompt content, AI responses, or sensitive business data.
Retention of this metadata is limited to what is necessary to support platform functionality and compliance obligations.
No Use of Data for Model Training
LangProtect does not use customer data, AI interactions, prompts, responses, or metadata to train machine learning models.
LangProtect does not build, fine-tune, or improve any AI models using customer data. The platform operates independently of foundation model training workflows and does not contribute data to third-party model providers for training or improvement purposes.
This applies to:
- User-generated content
- AI-generated content
- Security detections
- Platform telemetry
Customer data remains customer data, in all cases.
Separation From Third-Party Model Providers
LangProtect acts as a security layer between customers and AI systems but does not assume ownership or control over the underlying AI models used by customers.
LangProtect does not:
- Store customer data on behalf of AI model providers
- Share customer data with model providers for training
- Retain prompts or responses beyond real-time processing
Any interaction between a customer and a third-party AI provider remains governed by the customer’s direct relationship with that provider.
Data Minimization by Design
LangProtect follows a strict data minimization principle.
Only the minimum amount of data required to:
- Detect security risks
- Enforce policies
- Provide visibility and auditability
is processed at any point. No data is collected “just in case,” and no content is retained for secondary or future use.
This approach reduces exposure, limits liability, and aligns with global data protection principles.
Retention Periods
Because LangProtect does not store AI content, there are no retention periods for prompts or responses.
Operational metadata and security-related logs are retained only for as long as necessary to support:
- Customer dashboards and analytics
- Security investigations
- Compliance and audit requirements
Retention durations may vary depending on contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, or customer configurations.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
LangProtect does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. We share personal information only in limited circumstances that are necessary to operate the Services, comply with the law, or protect the security and integrity of our platform. This section explains when sharing may occur and the safeguards that apply.
Service Providers and Subprocessors
LangProtect may share limited personal information with trusted third-party service providers (“subprocessors”) who perform services on our behalf and under our instructions.
These providers support functions such as infrastructure hosting, authentication services, monitoring, logging, customer support tooling, and security operations. Access to personal information is strictly limited to what is necessary for the provider to perform its specific function, and all subprocessors are contractually obligated to:
- Process data only in accordance with LangProtect’s instructions
- Maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures
- Not use personal data for their own purposes
LangProtect remains responsible for the handling of personal data by its subprocessors.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosures
LangProtect may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal processes.
This includes responding to lawful requests from courts, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other public authorities where disclosure is legally required or permitted. In such cases, LangProtect limits disclosures to the minimum amount of information necessary and, where legally allowed, takes steps to notify affected customers.
We do not voluntarily provide personal data to authorities without a lawful basis.
Business Transfers and Corporate Events
In the event of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be disclosed as part of that transaction.
Any such disclosure would be subject to confidentiality obligations, and personal data would continue to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If control of personal data were to change materially, LangProtect would provide appropriate notice.
No Other Sharing
Outside of the circumstances described above, LangProtect does not share personal information with third parties.
In particular, we do not share personal data with advertisers, data brokers, analytics companies for independent use, or AI model providers for training or improvement purposes. Customer data remains under customer control and is not used to benefit third parties.
7. International Data Transfers
LangProtect operates globally and may process personal data in multiple jurisdictions. As a result, personal information may be transferred to, accessed from, or processed in countries outside the country where a user is located, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as the user’s home jurisdiction.
Regardless of where processing occurs, LangProtect applies consistent privacy and security standards designed to protect personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Global Operations and Processing Locations
LangProtect’s Services are designed to support customers worldwide. Personal data may be processed in regions where LangProtect, its affiliates, or its subprocessors operate infrastructure or provide support services.
These locations may include the United States, the European Union, and other countries where LangProtect maintains operational presence or relies on third-party service providers. Transfers occur only where necessary to operate the Services, provide support, or ensure platform security and reliability.
Safeguards for International Transfers
When personal data originating from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with transfer restrictions is transferred internationally, LangProtect implements appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
These safeguards may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
- Equivalent contractual protections recognized under UK data protection law
- Technical and organizational measures designed to protect data during transfer and processing
These measures are intended to ensure that personal data remains protected regardless of where it is processed.
Consistent Protection Standards
LangProtect applies the same core data protection principles across all regions, including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and security.
International transfers do not change how personal data is handled. Data is processed under the same restrictive conditions described throughout this Privacy Policy, including limitations on storage, use, and sharing.
Regulatory Compliance
LangProtect continuously evaluates its international data transfer practices to ensure compliance with evolving legal requirements, regulatory guidance, and court decisions.
Where local laws impose additional obligations or restrictions, LangProtect adapts its practices accordingly to maintain compliance.
8. Your Rights and Choices
LangProtect respects the rights individuals have over their personal data and is committed to providing transparency and control in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding how your personal information is processed.
For individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions governed by similar frameworks, these rights are provided under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws. For individuals located in the United States, additional rights may apply under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and comparable state-level regulations.
Subject to applicable law, individuals may have the right to access the personal information LangProtect processes about them, to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, and to request deletion of personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for processing. Individuals may also have the right to restrict or object to certain types of processing, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests.
Where processing is based on consent, individuals have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Individuals may also have the right to request a copy of their personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to request that this information be transferred to another controller where technically feasible.
LangProtect does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. As a result, rights related to automated decision-making under GDPR Article 22 generally do not apply.
For U.S. residents, including California residents, applicable rights may include the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. LangProtect does not sell or share personal information for advertising purposes.
To exercise any applicable rights, individuals may submit a request using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. LangProtect may need to verify the identity of the requester before fulfilling a request, in order to protect personal data from unauthorized access. Requests will be handled within the timeframes required by applicable law.
In some cases, legal or contractual obligations may limit the ability to fulfill a request fully. Where this occurs, LangProtect will explain the reason for the limitation in accordance with applicable law.
LangProtect is committed to honoring privacy rights globally and applies the same high standard of care regardless of jurisdiction.
9. Security Measures
LangProtect implements a combination of technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards designed to protect personal information and operational data against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are designed to reflect industry best practices and the real-time nature of LangProtect’s Services.
Infrastructure and System Security
LangProtect operates on secure, production-grade infrastructure designed to support high availability and resilience. Systems are architected with isolation controls, network segmentation, and restricted access layers to reduce exposure to unauthorized activity.
Security monitoring tools are used to observe system behavior, detect anomalies, and identify potential threats. Logs and telemetry are maintained to support operational oversight, troubleshooting, and security investigations.

Data processed through LangProtect is protected using encryption in transit. Secure communication protocols are used to prevent interception or tampering while data moves between customer systems, LangProtect services, and integrated components.
LangProtect processes AI prompts and responses transiently for security inspection and policy enforcement. Prompt content is not stored or retained beyond the duration required to perform scanning and enforcement. LangProtect does not use customer data to train machine learning models.
Access Controls and Internal Safeguards
Access to LangProtect systems is restricted to authorized personnel who require access to perform their job responsibilities. Role-based access controls are used to limit system privileges based on function and responsibility.
Internal access rights are reviewed periodically and adjusted as needed. Employees and contractors with access to systems are subject to confidentiality obligations and internal security policies.
Operational Security Practices
LangProtect maintains internal procedures covering areas such as access management, system maintenance, incident response, and vulnerability handling. These procedures are designed to reduce the risk of accidental exposure, misuse, or operational errors.
Security updates, patches, and configuration changes are applied in accordance with internal change management practices. Systems are evaluated regularly to identify potential weaknesses and improve overall security posture.
Incident Detection and Response
LangProtect maintains processes to detect, assess, and respond to security incidents. If an incident affecting personal information is identified, LangProtect will take appropriate steps to investigate, contain, and remediate the issue.
Where required by applicable law, LangProtect will notify affected customers or individuals within legally mandated timeframes and provide information reasonably necessary to support their response obligations.
Shared Responsibility
While LangProtect implements safeguards to protect its Services, customers are responsible for securing their own accounts and environments. This includes protecting login credentials, API keys, passwords, and ensuring that access is limited to authorized users.
Customers are encouraged to use strong authentication practices and to monitor usage of their accounts and integrations.
Limitations
No security system is completely immune from risk. While LangProtect continuously works to strengthen its safeguards, it cannot guarantee absolute security. Customers acknowledge that data transmission over the internet and cloud-based systems involves inherent risks.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
LangProtect may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, regulatory guidance, security practices, or business operations. Any updates are intended to ensure continued transparency about how personal information is handled and to maintain compliance with applicable data protection laws.
When we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page to indicate when the changes take effect. Updates will apply from the effective date onward and will govern the collection, processing, and use of personal information after that date.
If changes are material, meaning they significantly affect how personal information is processed or the rights available to individuals, LangProtect will take reasonable steps to provide notice. This may include posting a prominent notice on our website, within the dashboard, or through other appropriate communication channels. Where required by applicable law, additional notice or consent mechanisms may be implemented.
