• Email address: Contract performance
• Activation timestamp: Abuse detection
• Memory data: Your control (no VEKTOR processing)

Signed GDPR DPA In Progress

EU law requires a signed Data Processing Agreement. Available now on request under NDA; full published DPA coming Q3 2026.

Contact: [email protected]
Expected Q3 2026: Standard GDPR DPA, SCCs, audit rights, data subject rights assistance.

Data Subject Rights ✓ Implemented

Right to access, delete, port, and correct. Deletion takes 30 days. Memory data is already yours and fully portable (SQLite).

Email [email protected] with "Data Subject Request" to exercise any right. Response in 30 days.

International Data Transfers In Progress

If VEKTOR Cloud tier processes EU data in US infrastructure, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) will be in place by Q4 2026.

• Local VEKTOR: No transfers

PHI data handling ✓ Implemented

If using VEKTOR in healthcare context, PHI stays on your infrastructure (local-first). VEKTOR has no access to health data.

Breach notification ✓ Implemented

If VEKTOR infrastructure is breached, you will be notified within 72 hours per HIPAA timeline. Breach of your local memory data is your responsibility.

HIPAA notification: 72 hours. VEKTOR infrastructure: Zero customer PHI stored. Your servers: Your security responsibility.

Healthcare or life sciences?

We can discuss HIPAA readiness and interim arrangements today. BAA will be available Q4 2026.
