BYOK Security & API Keys

Smart AI Comparison uses a bring-your-own-key model: you enter provider keys, the UI shows masked hints after save, and comparison requests use your keys via the compare API. Keys are rejected if saved as masked placeholders.

Storage behaviour

Keys are stored server-side in the KV store associated with your user account and environment prefix (prod/test). GET responses return masked values only.

What we do not claim

We do not claim zero retention at providers, end-to-end encryption of provider responses, or isolation from provider terms—review each vendor policy before sending sensitive data.
