Data security and IP protection

FAQ

Data security and IP protection


At Flux, we take data security seriously. Our product is designed with state-of-the-art encryption protocols to ensure that your data is secure during transfer and storage. We also store your data redundantly in modern data centers that are protected both physically and virtually, making Flux as safe as any other cloud services you're using, like Github, Figma, Salesforce, Dropbox, Gmail, and more.

Modern, cloud-native environments

Flux’s infrastructure is cloud-native, which means our security team can take advantage of the unparalleled scale and flexibility of the cloud. By building on top of trusted cloud vendors, Flux users benefit from the combination of an enterprise-grade network architected to protect their information and the deep expertise of Flux’s dedicated security team that is engineering-focused and always on.

Here are other measures we take to ensure Flux is secure for you and your team.

Data protection

To keep all your work secure, Flux encrypts data at rest and in transit. While our services are hosted redundantly in US-based Google Cloud and Amazon AWS facilities.

Identity management

Easily manage access via SSO and project level permissions and securely deploy Flux across your entire organization.

Service reliability

To keep you up and running 24/7/365, Flux's infrastructure is backed by multiple data centers to protect service availability. You'll also have peace of mind with real-time status updates and Flux's built-in version history.

A high bar for privacy and security

Our security measures exceed industry standards for data protection and security.

Your privacy rights are important to us

Flux is dedicated to ensuring that all customer and employee personal data is treated in accordance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Your data belongs to you

Flux is committed to keeping your information secure and private. Your content is important to you and we take the responsibility of protecting it seriously.

The details on what data we collect, how we collect it, what we do with it, how you can opt-out in, and instructions on how to retrieve and/or delete data from Flux are available in our Privacy Policy.

FAQ

What are the security benefits of a cloud-native infrastructure?

Cloud-native environments provide a number of security benefits, including greater visibility and control over the access and usage of applications, reduced attack surface due to ephemeral compute services of cloud applications, and ensured data backup by cloud providers. Flux customers also benefit from our use of industry-standard cloud resources, and the output of the cloud security community is leveraged to better protect user data.

How do I report a potential security vulnerability in Flux products?

Anyone can report security issues by contacting our security team. We also have a bug program and we allow customers to conduct their own penetration test in alignment with our program rules (e.g. test your own data, and report any findings to us first). If you have any questions about the security program or rules please contact the security team before conducting any testing.

What personal data does Flux access, store, or process from customers?

To provide our services, Flux collects limited personal information about users, including name, email address, job title, and, if you enable two-factor authentication, a phone number. You retain sole discretion over what you include in your designs on the Flux Platform. Flux also complies with all applicable data protection laws and regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. More information is available in our privacy policy.

Does Flux have any rights to my data?

All data that you upload to or develop on the Flux platform remains owned by you and is treated as your confidential information. Read our privacy statement to learn more about how Flux secures your data.

Who has access to my projects?

Your projects are private and accessible only to you, unless you choose to share them publicly. We take your intellectual property very seriously and are committed to keeping your data secure. Feel free to take a closer look at our Privacy Statement for more details.

Does Flux train the AI with my data?

Your data is yours, and that’s how we treat it at Flux! For more details on how we handle your information, please take a look at our Privacy Statement.
