Audit submissions contain prompts, tool definitions, and context samples. That content is often proprietary and sometimes sensitive. Here is exactly how Archonics processes it.
Content you submit to any Archonics audit tool — the free MCP scan, the $49 Instant Audit, or a paid Full Audit engagement — is processed to produce the audit report and then discarded. No submission is retained on Archonics infrastructure past the lifecycle of the audit it produced.
For the Free Scan (MCP server), submissions never touch Archonics infrastructure at all. Your client connects directly to Anthropic's API using your own key. Archonics is not in the data path.
For the Instant Audit ($49 x402), we temporarily store the structured audit output in R2 behind a signed URL so you can retrieve your report. Output artifacts are automatically deleted after 30 days via a lifecycle rule on the bucket. Your original submission is processed in-memory and is not written to storage.
Archonics does not use submitted content to train any model, fine-tune the audit engine, or produce methodology examples that could leak your proprietary material. This is a hard policy, not a default setting.
What we do learn from: anonymized, aggregated patterns across many audits may inform improvements to the methodology — for example, "18 of 20 audited systems lacked prompt-regression tests." Specific content never feeds that process. Your prompt does not become a case study unless you explicitly ask it to.
The audit engine runs on Anthropic's Claude API. When you use Archonics, your submission transits Anthropic's inference infrastructure once per audit. Anthropic's data handling is governed by their own terms — they do not train on API content by default. For the Free Scan, this call is made directly from your machine with your API key. For the Instant Audit, it is made from our Cloudflare Worker using our API key.
For the Instant Audit endpoint, we log request timing, response size, and payment status for operational reasons (billing reconciliation, error monitoring, capacity planning). We do not log submission content. Logs are retained for 30 days and then purged.
For the Free Scan MCP server, we log nothing — the server runs in your client and has no telemetry connection to Archonics.
If your team needs a data processing agreement, a specific NDA, or a bespoke retention policy before submitting sensitive material, we accommodate that at the Full Audit tier ($750). Email audits@archonics.ai with your requirements and we will respond within one business day.
If you have a privacy question that this page does not answer, or if you believe Archonics has mishandled your submission, email audits@archonics.ai. We respond to privacy-specific inquiries within 48 hours.
