Encryption

All data transmitted between your browser and LilyHR is encrypted using TLS 1.3. Data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. This includes your conversation history, any documents you generate, and your account information.

Infrastructure

LilyHR is built on industry-standard cloud infrastructure. Our servers are located in Canada, ensuring your data does not leave Canadian jurisdiction.

  • Canadian-hosted servers: Your data stays in Canada
  • Automatic backups: Daily encrypted backups with 30-day retention

AI Training Policy

🚫 No training on your data

We do not use your data to train AI models

Your conversations are never used to train or improve AI models, ours or anyone else's. What you type stays in your account.

How the AI works

LilyHR uses Anthropic's Claude API to power its AI responses. Each conversation is processed in real time and is not retained by Anthropic for training purposes under our enterprise agreement.
