Privilege Architecture
Privacy-Preserving AI
Designed in response to the Heppner ruling (February 2026), our architecture ensures attorney-client privilege, trade secrets, and confidential information remain protected — even when AI is involved.
Four-Gate Governance Model
Every piece of data passes through four independent checkpoints. No single gate can be bypassed.
Store Gate
Controls what data enters the system
- Consent validation
- Content classification
- Encryption at rest
- Audit logging
Hydration Gate
Controls how memories are loaded
- Access control checks
- Decryption authorization
- Context scoping
- Privilege verification
Export Gate
Controls what leaves the system
- Data minimization
- Redaction rules
- Export approval
- Compliance checks
Inference Gate
Controls AI model access
- Privilege boundaries
- Inference isolation
- Response filtering
- Audit trail
Hardware-Anchored Encryption
Keys are derived from hardware security modules (HSMs) and never exist in software-accessible memory. Even our own engineers cannot access encrypted data.
- HSM-derived key hierarchy
- Zero-knowledge architecture
- Cryptographic proof of deletion
Legal Precedent
The Heppner v. United States ruling (Feb 10, 2026) established that standard RAG implementations can waive attorney-client privilege.
Our Privilege Architecture was designed specifically to address this ruling, with patent protection and cryptographic guarantees.
