Security Architecture

Four Layers of Enterprise Protection

Every element of Harmonizer's infrastructure is designed to protect the sensitivity of your trade intelligence.

Data Isolation

Tenant-Level Separation

Your trade data is stored in a private schema isolated from all other tenants. No shared tables, no cross-contamination. Your tariff classifications, shipment history, and product descriptions exist in a dedicated, access-controlled environment.

Dedicated database schema per organization
Role-based access control (RBAC) enforced at API level
No cross-tenant data queries or joins possible
Full deletion available upon contract termination

Encryption

Military-Grade Standards

All data is encrypted using AES-256 while at rest and protected by TLS 1.2+ during transmission. This is the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies.

Our Transparency Pledge

Your Data Stays Yours

We will never use your proprietary trade data—your product descriptions, HTS decisions, shipment volumes, or supplier identities—to train public or shared AI models.

Your competitive intelligence is what makes your brokerage valuable. We understand this. The data you input into Harmonizer reflects years of supplier relationships, pricing strategies, and market knowledge. We treat it accordingly.

No data sold to third parties, ever
No behavioral profiling for advertising
Your data is not used to improve models for competitors
Export or delete your data at any time, no questions asked

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 22, 2026  ·  FlowSumo Inc. DBA Harmonizer

1

Information We Collect

Account Data: When you register for the pilot program, we collect your name, company name, work email address, and job title.

Classification Input Data: Product descriptions you submit for HTS classification. This data is processed by our AI engine and stored as part of your classification history.

Usage Data: Anonymized metadata about how you use the platform (feature clicks, session duration) to improve product quality. This does not include your trade data.

Technical Data: Browser type, IP address (anonymized), and operating system for security monitoring and fraud prevention.

2

How We Use Your Data

We use your data exclusively to deliver the classification service, maintain your audit records, provide technical support, and communicate important service updates.

Critical Commitment: Your product descriptions and classification decisions are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models that are shared with or accessible by other users or organizations.

3

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your data. We do not monetize your information through advertising networks or data brokers, ever.

We use the following categories of sub-processors, all of whom are contractually bound to our data security standards:

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Vercel — for hosting, storage, and compute.
  • AI Model Providers: LLM API providers under strict data processing agreements that prohibit training on your inputs.
  • Analytics: Privacy-first analytics (no personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking).

We may disclose data only when legally required by valid court order, subpoena, or government authority under applicable law, and only to the extent required.

4

Data Retention & Deletion

Classification records are retained for a minimum of 5 years, consistent with CBP recordkeeping requirements under 19 CFR Part 163. Enterprise customers may configure extended retention periods.

Upon contract termination, you may request complete deletion of your organizational data within 30 days. We will provide written confirmation once deletion is complete. Backup copies are purged within 90 days of the deletion request.
