Trust & Safety

Security & Privacy

Aura AI is built on a local-first philosophy. Your code and design documents are your IP — we take their protection seriously.

Our commitments

🚫

No training on your code

Prompts and code context sent to our AI providers are used solely to generate your response. Our enterprise API agreements strictly prohibit providers from using your workspace data for model training. Your IP stays yours.

🔐

TLS 1.3 in transit

All external communication between your machine and our secure LLM providers is strictly encrypted with TLS 1.3. Local engine communication never leaves your machine.

🔑

Authentication secured

Authentication is handled via secure JWTs. User sessions are validated server-side and scoped securely to your account, ensuring data isolation.

🛡️

No data sold to third parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your usage data, code context, or personal information with advertisers or data brokers. Ever.

🏠

Hub runs locally

Aura AI is a native background service that runs on your machine. No unauthorized background telemetry. Aura AI only contacts our API when you actively submit a prompt, unless you explicitly opt-in to the Living GDD auto-sync feature.

🗄️

Strict Data Isolation

Our backend enforces rigid server-side validation, ensuring users can only ever access their own subscription and team data. This prevents unauthorized access at the API boundary, guaranteeing your data stays isolated.

What goes where

A transparent breakdown of every data type Aura touches, where it goes, and who can access it.

Data Type Where It Goes Who Can See It
AI Prompts & Code Context Aura API → Enterprise LLM Providers (per request only) Providers for response generation only; not retained
GDD Files Stored locally on your machine; sent as context only when you ask a question You only; AI provider during active requests
Subscription Data Remote database (RLS-protected) You only; Aura backend for credit deduction
Email Address Auth provider; Resend for transactional email Aura for account management; not shared with third parties
Payment Information Stripe (we never see raw card data) Stripe only
Chat History Local machine only (in-memory during session) You only; not synced to any server
