Data Protection Officer:

SNYFT s.r.o. ("SNYFT", "we", "us", "our") operates the SNYFT Security Platform, a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data in connection with our platform and marketing website (snyft.cz).

2. Categories of Data Collected

2.1 Account Data

When you register for or use the SNYFT platform, we collect:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Company name and business details
  • Role and job title (if provided)
  • Password (stored as a cryptographic hash; we never store plaintext passwords)

2.2 Security Log Data

The core function of the SNYFT platform is to ingest, analyze, and correlate security events from your cloud infrastructure. Depending on your configured integrations, the following categories of log data may be processed:

  • AWS CloudTrail management and data events
  • VPC Flow Logs (network traffic metadata)
  • DNS query logs
  • Amazon GuardDuty findings
  • Authentication events (login attempts, MFA events, session data)
  • IP addresses (source and destination)
  • AWS ARNs (Amazon Resource Names) identifying resources and principals
  • Usernames and user identifiers
  • Hostnames and domain names
  • User agent strings
  • Event timestamps and metadata
Security log data is processed on behalf of the customer (the data controller for their own employees’ and systems’ data). SNYFT acts as a data processor for this category of data pursuant to a Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

2.3 Usage Analytics

We collect anonymized usage data to improve the platform:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Feature usage frequency
  • Session duration
  • Browser type and screen resolution

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

2.4 Payment Data

Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, Inc. SNYFT does not store, process, or have access to your credit card numbers, bank account details, or other payment instrument data. We receive only:

  • Confirmation of payment status
  • Subscription plan and billing period
  • Invoice history and amounts

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b))Account creation, platform access, security monitoring services, billing
Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))Platform security improvements, fraud prevention, application error monitoring, security incident investigation
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))Tax record-keeping, regulatory reporting, compliance with court orders or lawful requests from authorities
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))Optional threat intelligence integrations (HIBP, AbuseIPDB, Shodan), marketing communications

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

4. AI Processing Disclosure

The SNYFT platform uses artificial intelligence to enhance security analysis. We distinguish between two modes of AI processing:

4.1 Platform-Managed AI

SNYFT uses Amazon Bedrock (deployed in the EU region) for the following automated processing:

  • Threat analysis — Automated triage and severity assessment of security alerts
  • Report narratives — Generation of human-readable executive summaries and compliance reports
  • Investigation assistance — AI-guided analysis during security incident investigations

All platform-managed AI processing occurs within the EU. Data sent to Amazon Bedrock is subject to the AWS Data Processing Agreement and is not used by AWS to train or improve AI models.

4.2 Customer-Configured AI (BYOK)

Customers may optionally configure their own AI provider for enhanced analysis by supplying their own API key:

  • OpenAI (if configured by the customer)
  • Anthropic (if configured by the customer)

When a customer enables BYOK AI, selected data (such as alert summaries or log excerpts) is sent to the provider chosen by the customer. SNYFT does not control the data processing practices of these third-party providers. Customers are responsible for reviewing the privacy policies and data processing terms of their chosen BYOK provider.

4.3 No Automated Decision-Making

AI outputs within the SNYFT platform are advisory only. No automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects are made solely on the basis of AI processing within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR. All critical security decisions (alert escalation, incident response, access revocation) require human confirmation.

5. Sub-Processors

SNYFT engages the following sub-processors for the provision of its services:

Sub-processorPurposeLocation
Amazon Web Services, Inc.Cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, database, networking, encryption)EU (Germany)
Amazon Web Services, Inc.Email delivery (SES)EU (Germany)
Amazon Web Services, Inc.AI model inference (Bedrock, platform-managed)EU
Cloudflare, Inc.CDN, bot protection, object storageEU
Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry)Application error monitoringEU (Germany)
Stripe, Inc.Payment processingEU/US (PCI DSS compliant)
HaveIBeenPwned (Troy Hunt)Email breach intelligence (optional, customer-activated)UK
AbuseIPDB (Marathon Studios)IP reputation intelligence (optional)US
Shodan (Shodan.io)IP intelligence (optional)US

HIBP Passwords API uses a k-anonymity model in which only a partial hash prefix is sent to the service. No personal data (passwords or email addresses) is transmitted. This is a technical security measure and does not constitute sub-processing of personal data.

MaxMind GeoLite2 is a locally installed IP geolocation database. No data is sent to MaxMind at runtime. It is a technology component, not a sub-processor.

Customer-configured integrations (such as Jira, Slack, OpenAI, or Anthropic under BYOK) are initiated and controlled by the customer. These services act as the customer’s own processors and are not SNYFT sub-processors. Customers are responsible for their own data processing agreements with these providers.

6. Data Retention

Data retention periods depend on the customer’s subscription tier:

TierHot Storage (Searchable)Cold ArchiveTotal Maximum Retention
Trial14 daysNone14 days
Start90 days18 months18 months
Professional180 days18 months18 months
EnterpriseCustom (per contract)Minimum 18 monthsPer contract

Cold archive storage provides long-term retention for compliance purposes (e.g., NIS2 Directive, Czech Act on Cybersecurity). Archived data can be restored to searchable storage upon request.

Account data is retained for the duration of the customer relationship and for a period of 3 years thereafter for legitimate business and legal purposes, unless a shorter period is requested.

Trial accounts that are not converted to a paid plan are frozen after 14 days and permanently deleted after 45 days, including all associated data.

7. International Data Transfers

7.1 Default: EU-Only Processing

By default, all customer data is processed and stored exclusively within the European Union, specifically in the AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany) region. This includes compute, database, storage, and AI inference workloads.

7.2 Non-EU Sub-Processors (Optional)

Certain optional threat intelligence integrations involve data transfers to non-EU countries:

  • HaveIBeenPwned (UK): Post-Brexit, the UK is covered by an EU adequacy decision.
  • AbuseIPDB (US) and Shodan (US): Transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.

These integrations are optional and are only activated when explicitly enabled by the customer.

7.3 Customer-Configured Transfers

When a customer configures BYOK AI integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic) or third-party tools (Jira, Slack), data may be transferred to locations determined by the customer’s configuration. These transfers are initiated by the customer and fall under the customer’s own responsibility as data controller.

8. Security Measures

SNYFT implements comprehensive technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including but not limited to:

  • Encryption at rest and in transit using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms (AES-256, TLS 1.2+)
  • Logical tenant isolation at the database level, ensuring strict separation of customer data
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) with multi-factor authentication (MFA) available on all subscription tiers
  • Comprehensive audit logging of all administrative actions and data access events
  • Regular security assessments, including vulnerability scanning and code review
  • Incident response procedures with defined escalation paths and notification timelines
  • Data minimization principles applied to all processing activities
  • Secure software development lifecycle with automated security testing

9. Data Subject Rights
