Trust Center

How Chordia protects customer data, applies security controls, and uses AI responsibly—clearly and without unnecessary complexity.

Our Approach to Trust

Trust at Chordia is built through clear boundaries, practical controls, and ongoing review—not through marketing claims.

Chordia analyzes real customer conversations. That means we treat security, privacy, and responsible AI use as part of day-to-day operations. On this page, we explain what data Chordia processes, how it flows through the platform, how access is controlled, and how we apply AI with human oversight.

Chordia is early, but intentional. Our goal is to be clear about what we do today, what we don’t do, and how our trust posture matures as customer needs and the platform scale.

Data Scope & Data Flow

Chordia is designed to analyze customer interactions so teams can measure quality, monitor compliance, and surface customer signals. To do that, we process conversation data and related metadata that customers choose to connect to the platform.

What Chordia processes

Depending on your configuration and channels, Chordia may process:

  • Audio recordings of customer interactions (for voice channels)
  • Transcripts generated from audio, or ingested directly from text-based channels
  • Interaction metadata such as timestamps, channel, queue or program identifiers, and agent/team identifiers (when provided)
  • System-generated outputs such as evaluations, detected events, highlights, evidence snippets, and aggregate insights

What Chordia is not designed to collect

Chordia is not intended to ingest or store:

  • Payment card data
  • Banking credentials
  • User passwords or authentication secrets
  • Unrelated personal data outside the scope of the interaction

If sensitive information appears within a customer conversation (for example, when a caller states it verbally), that information may be present in the original audio. Where supported by the customer’s configuration and transcription services, sensitive data such as PII or payment information may be detected and redacted during transcription before transcripts are stored or used for further analysis. Customers control what is recorded, what is ingested, how redaction is applied, and how long data is retained.

High-level data flow

At a high level, data moves through Chordia in the following way:

  1. Ingestion
  2. Customer interactions are securely ingested from connected channels or uploaded by authorized users.
  3. Processing
  4. Chordia transcribes (when needed) and analyzes the interaction to understand the flow of the conversation and evaluate it against customer-defined criteria.
  5. Output generation
  6. The platform produces structured outputs such as scores, flags, evidence, summaries, and detected signals.
  7. Storage & access
  8. Data and outputs are stored and made available only to authorized users based on role and permissions.
  9. Retention & deletion
  10. Data is retained according to customer-defined policies and can be deleted based on customer requirements.

PII handling and redaction

Chordia uses third-party transcription services to convert audio into text for analysis. These services support the detection and redaction of sensitive information.

Where enabled by the customer or deployment configuration:

  • Personally identifiable information (PII) may be redacted during transcription
  • Sensitive data such as payment card numbers or similar identifiers can be masked or removed
  • Redaction is applied before transcripts are stored or further processed

These capabilities help limit exposure of sensitive information while preserving the usefulness of conversation data for quality, compliance, and insight.

This page describes the principles and controls around this flow. The specific configuration—channels, fields, retention, and access—is determined by each customer’s deployment

Data Ownership & Usage

Customers retain ownership of all data processed by Chordia. Chordia acts as a data processor, handling customer interaction data solely to deliver the services configured by each customer.

Ownership and control

  • Customer interaction data remains the property of the customer
  • Chordia does not claim ownership over audio, transcripts, or derived outputs
  • Customers determine which interactions are processed and who can access results

Purpose limitation

Data processed by Chordia is used only to:

  • Evaluate interaction quality
  • Monitor compliance with customer-defined rules
  • Detect conversation-level signals and trends
  • Deliver insights and reporting within the platform

Chordia does not use customer data for unrelated purposes such as advertising, resale, or third-party data enrichment.

Use of derived data

Chordia generates derived outputs—such as scores, flags, summaries, and trends—based on customer interactions. These outputs:

  • Exist to support customer operations and decision-making
  • Are visible only to authorized users
  • Remain tied to the customer’s data and configuration

AI usage boundaries

AI-assisted analysis is applied only within the scope of the customer’s deployment. Customers define:

  • Evaluation criteria
  • Compliance rules
  • Signal definitions
  • Whether and how outputs are reviewed or acted upon

Chordia does not independently repurpose customer data or redefine how it is evaluated.

Security Architecture & Controls

Chordia applies security controls designed to protect customer data throughout ingestion, processing, storage, and access. Our approach follows modern SaaS security practices and is aligned with how the platform is actually built and operated.

Data protection

  • Encryption in transit
  • Data is encrypted while in transit using TLS.
  • Encryption at rest
  • Customer data is encrypted at rest within managed data stores, including MongoDB, AWS S3 and Snowflake RDBMS.

These controls apply to both raw interaction data and derived outputs generated by the platform.

Access control

  • Role-based access controls (RBAC) are enforced at the application level
  • Access to customer data is limited based on role and responsibility
  • Production system access is restricted to authorized personnel only

Access permissions are reviewed as part of normal operational processes.

Infrastructure & hosting

Chordia operates in secure, cloud-based environments designed to support isolation, durability, and controlled access. Infrastructure services provide built-in protections for availability, storage, and key management.

Operational security

  • Monitoring is in place to track system health and performance
  • Logs are maintained to support troubleshooting and operational review
  • Changes to production systems follow controlled deployment processes

Security practices evolve alongside the platform and are adjusted as customer requirements, usage patterns, and risk profiles change.

Privacy & Customer Control

Privacy at Chordia is grounded in customer control and purpose limitation. Customer data is processed only to deliver the services configured by each customer and in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Customer control

Customers determine:

  • Which interactions are ingested and processed
  • Who within their organization can access data and outputs
  • How long data is retained
  • When data should be deleted

Access to data and insights is governed by role-based permissions within the platform.

Use and sharing of data

  • Customer data is used only to provide Chordia’s services
  • Data is not sold, rented, or shared for advertising or unrelated purposes
  • Data is shared with third-party service providers only as necessary to operate the platform

Chordia does not use customer interaction data to build unrelated products or services.

Retention and deletion

Data retention and deletion follow customer-defined policies and contractual requirements. Customers may request deletion of data in accordance with applicable agreements and legal obligations.

Privacy governance

Detailed information about how personal data is collected, used, and protected is described in Chordia’s Privacy Notice, which governs privacy practices across the platform.

Responsible Use of AI

AI is central to how Chordia analyzes customer conversations, but it is applied with clear boundaries and human oversight. The platform is designed to support understanding, evaluation, and insight—not to replace human judgment or decision-making.

How AI is used

Within Chordia, AI is used to:

  • Analyze the structure and flow of conversations
  • Evaluate interactions against customer-defined quality and compliance criteria
  • Detect patterns, signals, and trends across large volumes of interactions
  • Surface evidence, summaries, and insights to support human review and action

AI operates within the scope defined by each customer’s configuration and policies.

Human oversight and control

  • Customers define evaluation criteria, rules, and thresholds
  • AI-generated outputs are reviewable and auditable
  • Humans remain responsible for coaching, compliance decisions, and operational actions
  • AI does not autonomously change policies or standards

This human-guided approach ensures AI supports consistent analysis without removing accountability.

What AI does not do

  • AI does not impersonate customers or agents
  • AI does not make final business or compliance decisions
  • AI does not independently repurpose customer data
  • AI does not operate outside the customer’s defined use cases

Additional AI data handling safeguards

When Chordia uses third-party large language models to support analysis, we take explicit steps to limit data exposure:

  • Customer data is processed only for the purpose of generating requested outputs
  • Storage and reuse of customer data by third-party AI providers is disabled where supported
  • Data sent to third-party models is not used to train or improve those models
  • Chordia retains control over how and when customer data is shared for AI-assisted processing

These safeguards ensure customer conversation data is analyzed without being retained or repurposed outside the scope of the Chordia platform.

Formal AI commitments

Chordia’s formal commitments regarding ethical and responsible AI use are documented in our AI Use & Ethics Policy, which outlines how AI is governed, constrained, and applied across the platform.

Reliability, Availability & Continuity

Chordia is designed to operate reliably in production environments where customer teams depend on consistent access to conversation data and insights.

Platform reliability

  • Systems are monitored for availability, performance, and errors
  • Operational alerts support timely response to issues
  • Infrastructure is designed to scale as customer usage grows

Reliability practices are reviewed as part of ongoing platform operations.

Data durability and recovery

  • Customer data is stored in managed data systems designed for durability
  • Backup and recovery mechanisms are in place to support continuity
  • Recovery processes are tested and refined as the platform evolves

Continuity planning

Chordia’s operational approach emphasizes resilience and incremental improvement rather than static guarantees. As customer needs and deployment complexity increase, reliability and continuity practices evolve accordingly.

While Chordia does not publish formal service-level agreements at this stage, reliability is treated as a core operational responsibility.

Compliance Status & Forward Plan

Chordia does not currently hold formal third-party security or compliance certifications such as SOC 2.

Security and compliance are active areas of investment. Chordia is actively working toward SOC 2 compliance as part of a broader effort to formalize controls and documentation as the platform scales.

How compliance is approached today

  • Core security and privacy controls are built directly into platform design and operations
  • Practices are reviewed and improved through normal operational processes
  • Customer and procurement requirements help inform prioritization

Regulated environments

Chordia is designed to support customers operating in regulated environments, including healthcare, financial services, and other industries with heightened data protection requirements.

Our security, privacy, and data-handling practices are informed by commonly recognized frameworks and regulations, such as HIPAA and ISO-based security standards. While Chordia does not currently hold formal certifications under these frameworks, we design platform controls with these requirements in mind and work with customers to support their compliance obligations.

Looking ahead

Formal compliance programs, including SOC 2, are being pursued deliberately and incrementally—aligned with platform maturity, customer needs, and operational readiness.

Our goal is to achieve compliance in a way that reflects how the system is actually used and operated, rather than treating certification as a one-time exercise.

Transparency & Ongoing Improvement

Chordia treats trust as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time effort. As the platform evolves, security, privacy, and AI practices are reviewed and improved alongside product and operational changes.

Continuous review

  • Data handling practices are reviewed as new features and channels are introduced
  • Access controls and permissions are revisited as teams and responsibilities change
  • AI behavior and outputs are monitored to ensure they align with customer-defined criteria

Improvement through use

Feedback from customers, partners, and internal reviews helps inform how controls, processes, and safeguards evolve over time. This ensures improvements are grounded in real-world usage rather than theoretical assumptions.

Change management

Updates that affect data handling, security posture, or AI behavior are introduced deliberately and evaluated for impact. Where appropriate, customers are informed of material changes.

This approach allows Chordia to mature its trust posture in step with platform growth and customer needs.
