# Security and data handling

> How Unblocked protects, accesses, and handles your organization's data

Unblocked connects to your source code and the systems around it to answer questions about your codebase. This page gives a high-level view of what data Unblocked accesses, how it's protected, and how you stay in control of it.

<Note>
  The [Unblocked trust center](https://trust.getunblocked.com/) is the most up-to-date source for our security posture. Visit it to review current certifications and to request detailed documentation, including our SOC 2 report and security whitepaper.

## What data Unblocked accesses and stores

When you [connect a repository](/connecting-source-code) or another [data source](/configuring-data-sources), Unblocked ingests and indexes that content so it can answer questions about it. Unblocked keeps its index up to date automatically, and every answer includes [cited sources](/unblocked-chat/cited-sources) so you can trace a response back to the original code, document, or conversation.

Your data is used only to answer questions for your organization, perform [code reviews](/code-review), and answer agents via [MCP](/unblocked-mcp/mcp-overview) or the [CLI](/unblocked-cli/cli-overview). Removing a repository or integration immediately removes all associated data from Unblocked, and deleting your account removes your data entirely.

## How your data is protected

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access across Unblocked's systems is secured with customer-specific encryption keys, so one customer's data is never exposed to another. Unblocked is SOC 2 Type II, CASA Tier II, and GDPR compliant — see the [trust center](https://trust.getunblocked.com/) for current certifications, compliance details, and data residency questions.

## Access control

Unblocked doesn't override the permissions you've already set up in your connected tools. [Data Shield](/team-settings/data-shield) enforces those permissions inside Unblocked, so a user only sees answers built from source material they're already authorized to access in GitHub, Slack, Confluence, Jira, and your other connected systems.

## AI and your data

Your code, documentation, and questions are never used to train or fine-tune AI models — not by Unblocked, and not by the third-party model providers Unblocked relies on to generate answers and reviews. Your data is never used to improve another organization's Unblocked instance.

## Deployment options

Most teams use Unblocked's standard cloud-hosted service. Enterprise customers who need to keep Unblocked inside their own infrastructure can use an on-premises deployment. See [Unblocked plans](/billing/unblocked-plans).
