Integration Security Considerations

Secure Integrations

Byggr ensures that integrations with external Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT, Gemini, and Claude are implemented with stringent security measures. All communication between the Byggr platform and these LLMs occurs over secure HTTPS connections, using SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit. Additionally, data exchanged with LLMs is processed on a strictly ephemeral basis, meaning it is only retained for the duration of the request and is not stored by Byggr. Data, however, may be temporarily retained by these providers in accordance with their respective policies. Below is a summary of the third-party services integrated into Byggr’s platform:

1. Open AI: Retains data for up to 30 days by default to monitor misuse, but this data is not used for training purposes. We are in the process of securing a zero data retention agreement with OpenAI.
2. Google Gemini: Retains data for up to 30 days to enhance operational functionality.
3. Anthropic: Retains input and output data for operational purposes, but does not use this data for model training. We are working on a zero data retention agreement with Anthropic.
4. Stripe: Billing is managed through Stripe, which handles and stores necessary personal information such as your name, address, and payment details.
5. GCP: Supports logging, monitoring, and managing application infrastructure. GCP is critical for storing and processing data for Byggr applications, including the upcoming Byggr Cloud. All our servers are currently based in the US. GCP implements robust security measures for its physical data centers, safeguarding user data. For more details, refer to GCP’s security documentation.

Permission Management

To minimize exposure and reduce potential risks, Byggr enforces a principle of least privilege for integration permissions. Each LLM integration is scoped with narrowly defined access rights, ensuring that only the necessary operations can be performed. API keys used for these integrations are stored securely using encryption mechanisms and are rotated periodically to maintain security. This approach ensures that integrations operate with maximum security and minimal impact in case of misconfiguration or exploitation attempts.

Data Handling in Integrations

Byggr adheres to a strict policy of non-persistence for all user data processed by the LLMs within its own systems during interactions with LLMs. Any input provided by users, such as product specifications, is processed only temporarily to generate a response or result. The platform does not store, log, or retain this data in its systems. While Byggr adheres to this no-retention policy, caching may be used temporarily to support operational efficiency for both Byggr’s APIs and integrated LLM services. Cached data is cleared shortly after its immediate purpose is fulfilled, ensuring no retention beyond what is necessary for service delivery. Details on retention practices for specific LLM providers can be found in the Secure Integrations section above.
