Data Handling

Where your data lives, how it's isolated, and what we don't do with it.

Tenant isolation, PHI handling, model-training boundaries, and data residency — the topics every healthcare security review asks about.

Last reviewed:

Tenant isolation

Every Synaptis customer operates inside a logical tenant boundary. PHI, customer-uploaded documents, model context, and audit logs are partitioned per-tenant at the data layer. Encryption keys are per-tenant and managed via cloud KMS. There is no shared mutable store crossing tenant boundaries.

  • Per-tenant encryption keys (cloud KMS)
  • Per-tenant audit log streams
  • Per-tenant rate limiting and quota
  • Per-tenant model context — no shared cache

Model training

Customer data is never used to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any model that serves other customers. This is contractually committed in every BAA and MSA, and architecturally enforced at the data plane.

  • No cross-tenant training, ever
  • No model improvements from customer prompts
  • Anonymized aggregate metrics (e.g., scribe accuracy benchmarks) require explicit opt-in via an addendum

PHI handling

All PHI is processed inside the Synaptis HIPAA data plane. PHI in transit uses TLS 1.2+; PHI at rest is encrypted AES-256 with per-tenant keys. PHI is not written to debug logs; redaction is enforced at the logger boundary.

  • PHI processed only inside HIPAA-eligible cloud regions
  • PHI redaction enforced at the logging boundary
  • PHI retention configurable per tenant; default 7 years to match common HIPAA expectations
  • PHI export available to tenant administrators on request

Data residency

Default deployment is US-region. EU-region hosting is available on request and is contractually committed where activated. Cross-region replication is opt-in only.

Data subject requests

For GDPR/CCPA data subject requests, customers route requests through their tenant administrator. Synaptis fulfills the underlying technical operations on the tenant administrator's instruction. See /privacy for the customer-facing process.
