Trust & data

How Portraits handles your data

360° feedback is sensitive by nature, so you deserve a plain answer to where it lives and who touches it. This page lists what we can verify — nothing more.

Where your data lives

Your data is stored in Neon PostgreSQL, hosted in AWS eu-west-2 (London, UK). It is encrypted in transit and at rest by the database provider.

Portraits keeps no file or blob storage. Anything you upload is processed in-memory and never written to a storage bucket.

AI and your data

AI features — such as drafting report summaries and themes — are processed by Anthropic’s Claude API. Inputs sent to the API are not used to train Anthropic’s models.

Organisations that prefer their own commercial relationship with Anthropic can bring their own API key: a BYOK option is available in organisation settings, and AI requests then run on your key rather than ours.

Subprocessors

These are the third-party services that process data on our behalf.
