Security and compliance

Accredited certifications, and data that never leaves the Kingdom

Where your data is stored, who can access it, and what crosses the border and when.

Your data stays inside the Kingdom

Your data is stored in Dammam on Google Cloud under a contract with CNTXT, and is subject to the Kingdom's sovereignty and laws.

No training on your documents

Your data and documents are not used to train our models, and any personal information they contain is removed before any processing.

Nobody but you sees your documents

Your documents are kept encrypted inside your own folders in the Kingdom, and nobody at Qanoniah reaches them except under a formally approved procedure.

How your data moves

Everything starts and stays inside the Kingdom. Only redacted data crosses the border.

The user
The journey starts with you, with a question you type or a file you upload.
A file or a message
Inside the Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaGoogle Cloud, Dammam
Reading the file text
Your file text is read inside the Kingdom, not outside it.
  • On Google Cloud in Dammam, under a contract with CNTXT.
  • This step does not run if you type a question without a file.
International readingOn by default
An alternative way of reading the file, via Google's Gemini, outside the Kingdom.
  • It runs unless your organisation turns it off in Settings.
  • If your organisation disables file uploads, this path is not used at all.
The legal guardianOff by default
A redaction gate your organisation enables, which everything passes through before it leaves.
  • When it is enabled, names, numbers and party names are replaced with neutral identifiers before sending, so the international model sees neither your identity nor your client's.
  • Redaction happens inside the Kingdom, so nothing crosses the border before passing through here as long as it is enabled.
  • The original copy stays in local storage, and is restored into the answer when it comes back to you.
  • Your organisation enables it in Settings and configures it to its own policy.
Redacted data
Our local models
Models running inside the Kingdom that draft your answer from the redacted data.
  • When the legal guardian is enabled, the original values never reach them, only the copy that came out of it.
  • Data is stored encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Neither your data nor your documents are used to train these models.
Crosses the border
An international language modelRedacted data only
The only point where redacted data crosses the border.
  • Its role is to improve the answer's structure and language, not to reason about the substance of your case.
  • No name, number or entity name reaches it, so it knows neither your identity nor your client's.
  • The transfer is carried out under the regulation on transferring data outside the Kingdom, with a signed data processing agreement.
