Security First: How We Built Flocod with Privacy in Mind

When building an AI coding tool, security and privacy aren't optional—they're fundamental. Here's how we architected Flocod to protect your code and data.

Data Handling Philosophy

We operate on three core principles:

  • Zero persistent storage: Your code never leaves your machine
  • Encrypted transmission: All communications use end-to-end encryption
  • Minimal data collection: We only collect anonymous usage metrics

Local-First Architecture

Flocod runs primarily on your local machine. AI processing happens on our secure servers, but your source code is never stored. We only send necessary context for code generation, encrypted and immediately discarded after processing.

Compliance and Certifications

We're committed to maintaining the highest security standards:

  • SOC 2 Type II certified
  • GDPR compliant
  • ISO 27001 certified
  • Regular third-party security audits

Open Source Components

Core components of Flocod are open source, allowing security researchers and developers to audit our code and report vulnerabilities.

Your Intellectual Property

Code generated by Flocod belongs entirely to you. We have no claims to your intellectual property and never use your code to train AI models.

Reporting Security Issues

Found a vulnerability? We have a responsible disclosure program with rewards up to $10,000. Email security@flocod.dev with details.
