Security and privacy at Prodeen

Prodeen helps food and beverage regulatory teams stay ahead of regulatory change. This page explains, in plain language, how we protect your formulation and regulatory data — where it lives, how it stays separate from other customers' data, your rights under the GDPR, and the certifications behind our platform.

Where is your data stored?

All Prodeen customer data is stored and processed in the European Union — specifically in Belgium, on Google Cloud's EU infrastructure. This applies to your formulations, the documents and ingredient specifications you upload, your chat history with Prodeen agents, and the regulatory signals you configure.

Customer data does not leave the European Union during normal operation of the platform. Backups, disaster recovery and replicas all stay in the same EU region. The one exception is when our AI agents call a large-language-model provider to interpret a regulation or answer a question — those requests are routed to the provider's API. Every provider we use is contractually prohibited from using your data to train its models. See Which AI providers process my data below for details.

How is your data kept separate from other customers?

Every record in Prodeen is tagged with the organisation that owns it. The platform's data layer is built so that a customer can only ever query, view, or modify the records that belong to their own organisation — the separation is built into the database itself, not just into the application code on top of it.

This matters because it means a software bug in one part of the platform cannot accidentally surface another customer's data. The boundary between your organisation's data and any other customer's data is enforced at the lowest possible layer.

Is Prodeen GDPR compliant?

Yes. Prodeen operates as your data processor under the GDPR. The data you upload and the records you create in Prodeen remain under your control — we process them only to deliver the platform's services to you.

Anyone whose personal data is held in Prodeen has the following rights, which we are able to action on request:

Your right What it means
AccessReceive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
CorrectionHave inaccurate personal data corrected.
DeletionHave your personal data deleted from our systems.
PortabilityReceive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Restriction & objectionLimit how your personal data is processed.

We respond to verified requests within 30 days. Send a request, or ask for our Data Processing Agreement, by emailing support@prodeen.com.

Which AI providers process my data?

Prodeen uses leading AI providers to read and interpret regulatory documents and to answer your questions. When you use our agents, the information needed for the agent's reasoning — for example the ingredients in the formulation you are asking about — is sent to one of these providers:

  • Anthropic (Claude)
  • OpenAI (GPT)
  • Google Vertex AI

All three are used under enterprise terms that prohibit them from using Prodeen customer data to train their public models. Your data is processed only to generate the response and is not retained beyond what is needed to deliver it. If your organisation prefers that we route your traffic to only one or two of these providers, we can configure that for you.

A complete list of Prodeen sub-processors is included in our Data Processing Agreement. Email support@prodeen.com to request the current version.

Where does Prodeen get its regulatory data from?

Prodeen sources regulatory and scientific information from authoritative public bodies and curated databases — including EFSA (and EFSA OpenFoodTox), RASFF, FDA, Codex Alimentarius, ANVISA, FSANZ, the UK's FSA and other national regulators. We use named, dedicated connectors for these sources.

Where extra context is needed to answer a customer question, our agents can also run targeted searches through vetted commercial search providers. We do not scrape competitor product pages or aggregate non-public commercial data.

Which certifications does Prodeen hold?

  • 1

    ISO/IEC 27001 — certified. Prodeen's information security management system is independently audited and certified against the international standard for information security. The certificate is available on request.

  • 2

    SOC 2 Type 2 — in progress. An independent SOC 2 audit is underway, covering security, availability and confidentiality. The report will be available to qualified prospects under NDA once issued.

  • 3

    GDPR-aligned. Prodeen processes EU personal data as a GDPR data processor. Sub-processors located outside the EU operate under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

How we operate, day to day

A few practical commitments behind the certifications above:

  • Routine security scanning of our software components, with prompt fixes for high-severity findings.
  • No credentials in source code. All passwords and API keys live in a managed secrets service, not in our codebase.
  • Audit logs of authentication, agent activity and significant user actions.
  • Incident response plan aligned with the GDPR's 72-hour breach notification requirement.

How to contact us about security

For security questions, DPA requests, vulnerability reports, or to submit a GDPR rights request, email support@prodeen.com. We aim to acknowledge security messages within two business days.

This page describes Prodeen's security and privacy practices as of May 2026. We update sub-processor lists, certifications and contact details as the platform evolves; the date above is refreshed with each revision.

Frequently asked questions about Prodeen security

Does Prodeen store my data in the EU?

Yes. All customer data — formulations, uploaded documents, regulatory signals and chat history — is stored and processed in the European Union, on Google Cloud's EU infrastructure (Belgium). Customer data does not leave the EU during normal operation of the platform.

Can other Prodeen customers see my formulations?

No. Every record in Prodeen is tagged with the organisation that owns it, and the data layer is built so that customers can only query and modify their own records. Separation is enforced at the database level, not just in the application.

Does Prodeen use my data to train AI models?

No. Prodeen uses leading AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Vertex AI) to deliver the agent experience, all under enterprise terms that prohibit them from using customer inputs to train their public models. Your data is used only to answer your questions, then discarded by the provider.

Is Prodeen ISO 27001 certified?

Yes. Prodeen's information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security. The certificate is available on request.

Can I get a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Prodeen?

Yes. A signed Data Processing Agreement is available as part of any commercial contract. It includes the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for sub-processors outside the European Economic Area. Request the current DPA by emailing support@prodeen.com.
