Encryption at Rest
All user-provided API keys and OAuth tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM cipher before being stored in our database. Each encrypted value includes:
- A random initialization vector (IV)
- An authentication tag for integrity verification
- The encrypted data itself
Format: iv:authTag:encrypted
Encryption in Transit
All communications between your browser and our servers use HTTPS/TLS encryption. OAuth flows use secure redirect URIs and state validation to prevent interception.
Token Storage and Management
- OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens are encrypted before storage
- Tokens are automatically refreshed when they expire
- Token transmission occurs over secure HTTPS connections only
Infrastructure Security
We use Supabase for our database infrastructure, which provides:
- Database encryption at rest
- Row Level Security (RLS) policies to isolate user data
- Automated backups
- Secure network isolation
Authentication
User authentication is managed via Supabase Auth using JWT-based session management. Sessions are securely stored and validated on each request.
CSRF Protection
OAuth flows include cryptographically random state parameters that are validated to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Data Retention
We retain different types of data for varying periods:
