Privacy Policy
At SafePipe, privacy is not a feature—it's our foundation.
🔒 Zero Data Persistence
We do not store your request bodies on disk. All prompt data is processed entirely in RAM and is immediately discarded after the request is complete. We are a pass-through proxy—your data flows through us, not to us.
1. Data Controller & Data Processor Roles
🔄 SafePipe as Data Processor
When you use SafePipe to process data on behalf of your end-users, you are the Data Controller and SafePipe EU GmbH acts as a Data Processor under GDPR Article 28.
- Controller (You): Determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. You decide what data to send, which filters to enable/disable, and how to use AI responses.
- Processor (SafePipe): Processes data on your behalf, according to your documented instructions (your API Key configuration). We apply the filters you have configured and route requests to AI providers.
By configuring your API Key settings (e.g., enabling/disabling "Mask Emails"), you are providing documented instructions to SafePipe as your Data Processor. We process data strictly in accordance with these configurations.
For SafePipe's own account and service management purposes, the data controller is:
SafePipe EU GmbH
Musterstraße 123
60311 Frankfurt am Main
Germany

Data Protection Officer: dpo@safepipe.eu
2. What Data We Process
2.1 Data We DO Process (Temporarily)
- API Request Content: Prompts and messages sent through our API are processed in memory to apply PII redaction and content filtering. This data is never written to disk.
- API Response Content: Responses from AI providers pass through our servers for filtering. This data is never written to disk.
2.2 Data We DO Store
- Account Information: Email address, name, company name (if provided)
- Authentication Data: Hashed API keys, OAuth tokens
- Request Metadata: Timestamps, model used, latency, token counts, PII detection flags (boolean only, not the actual PII)
- Billing Information: Processed by Stripe; we do not store full payment details
- Configuration: Your protection settings and preferences
2.3 Data We DO NOT Store
- The content of your prompts or messages
- AI-generated responses
- Any PII detected (we redact it and forget it)
- IP addresses beyond access logs (30-day retention)
3. Infrastructure & Data Location
🇪🇺 All data is processed within the European Union.

Your data never leaves the European Economic Area (EEA). When routing to AI providers, we only send redacted/cleaned data, and we prioritize EU-based endpoints where available.
