DaedArch — Security & Data-Handling Rules

This page describes how DaedArch Corporation safeguards financial-account data accessed through Plaid on behalf of our users.

1. Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS (industry-standard) across our edge (Cloudflare) and internal services. Data at rest is stored on encrypted, access-controlled cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud). Personally identifiable information is tokenized at ingest and stored in a dedicated PII vault; raw values are revealed only at the moment of authorized use and never persisted in plaintext logs.

2. Access controls

Access is default-deny. Every sensitive operation is authorized per-resource via cross-resource access control (xBAC) and role checks; possession of a session is never sufficient. Personal and business data are firewall-isolated so a user's private data never crosses into company or third-party scopes.

3. Continuous identity & fraud protection

Every interaction — across every channel — passes through a unified identity/risk gate that screens for fraud, exfiltration, and out-of-norm activity, and steps up authentication or denies high-risk actions (e.g. money movement). The system fails closed: under any uncertainty it denies and surfaces a loud error rather than proceeding.

4. Data minimization & retention

We collect only what is necessary to provide the requested service, classify and route it deterministically, and honor deletion / data-subject requests, including for data obtained via Plaid, in accordance with Plaid's End User Privacy Policy.

5. Auditability

All access, routing, and identity decisions are recorded to immutable audit logs, enabling end-to-end traceability of every data flow.

6. End-user consent

Before connecting an account through Plaid, users are presented with a just-in-time notice and provide explicit consent; our processing is consistent with Plaid's End User Privacy Policy (plaid.com/legal).
