Trust & Security

Addressing your concerns about data privacy, AI mathematical accuracy, legal admissibility, and platform security at Royot.

Data Privacy & Upload Security

1. You're asking me to upload confidential financial data to your platform.

Royalty statements, distributor exports, and writer share breakdowns are among the most commercially sensitive documents in the music business. We protect your data with three structural layers:

  • Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) Inference: All AI processing runs under enterprise agreements where input and output data is never stored by third-party model providers, never used for training models, and is instantly deleted after the request finishes.
  • Local-First Processing: Heavy calculations (like shortfall variance math and database comparisons) run strictly within a secure local environment. Your raw distributor spreadsheet records do not traverse external networks for analytics.
  • Session Isolation: Each catalog upload is scoped to an isolated, secure directory. There is absolutely no cross-catalog data sharing or risk of competitor visibility.

Planned: SOC 2 Type II compliance audit and user-managed encryption key support.
