In the Lector Cloud, the platform runs on OVHcloud infrastructure in Europe (Germany/France). AI processing via Google Vertex AI and Microsoft Azure also takes place on European servers — the data is only there for the duration of processing and is deleted immediately afterwards. You decide how long Lector retains your documents. With hybrid or on-premise deployment, your data stays on your own servers.
No. The AI models use your data for processing only; with models from the cloud, it is deleted there immediately afterwards.
TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 at rest, role-based access control, single sign-on via Keycloak and audit logging of all security-relevant actions — on redundant systems with automatic failover.
Yes. The data processing agreement including technical and organisational measures, the EU AI Act statement and further documents are in the Legal Center.
Yes — fully on-premise in your own network, including the platform and the AI models, or hybrid (your data stays with you, the AI models come from the cloud). The deployment options are described above.
