Security Considerations​

Data Privacy

CloudYali never accesses your prompts, responses, or conversation content. Only aggregated usage and billing metadata is collected.

  • Read-Only Access: CloudYali uses your Anthropic Admin API key in read-only mode. We only access usage and billing data—never prompts, responses, or conversation content.
  • Encrypted Storage: Your API key is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
  • Data Privacy: Only usage metadata is collected. No user content is ever accessed or stored.
