Building Trust in the Age of AI
At Strata Nine, we believe that artificial intelligence must be deployed responsibly, securely, and transparently. Organizations should retain control over their data, understand how AI systems operate, and maintain confidence that their information is protected at every stage of the AI lifecycle.
This Data Processing & AI Governance Statement outlines the principles, controls, and commitments that guide how Strata Nine designs, deploys, and operates its AI-enabled platforms and managed services.
Our Core Principles
Data Sovereignty
Data belongs to our customers.
Strata Nine does not claim ownership of customer data, AI models, intellectual property, prompts, outputs, or business insights generated through the use of our services.
Where requested, customer data can be stored, processed, and retained within designated jurisdictions to support local regulatory, sovereignty, and compliance requirements.
Our architecture is designed to support sovereign cloud and sovereign AI deployments that enable organizations and governments to maintain control over where their data resides and how it is processed.
Security by Design
Security is integrated into every layer of our platform architecture.
Our services are designed around principles including:
Security controls are regularly reviewed and enhanced to address evolving threats and regulatory requirements.
Responsible AI
We are committed to developing and deploying AI systems that are:
AI should augment human decision-making rather than replace appropriate human oversight.
For high-impact use cases, we encourage customers to maintain meaningful human review and governance processes around AI-generated outputs.
Customer Control
Customers remain in control of their AI environment.
Depending on the deployment model, customers can define:

Data Processing Commitments
Use of Customer Data

Unless explicitly agreed in writing:
Data Minimization
We seek to collect and process only the data necessary to provide our services.
Where possible, we support:
Retention and Deletion
Customer data retention periods are determined by contractual agreements, regulatory obligations, and customer-defined policies.
Upon termination of services, customer data may be returned, deleted, or retained according to agreed contractual requirements and applicable law.

Human Oversight
AI-generated outputs should be reviewed appropriately before being used in operational, legal, financial, medical, or other high impact decision-making processes.
Customers remain responsible for decisions made based on AI-generated content and recommendations.
Compliance and Regulatory
Alignment
Strata Nine designs its services to support customer compliance initiatives, including frameworks such as:
Compliance obligations remain the responsibility of each customer, but our platforms are designed to support governance, auditability, and regulatory alignment.
Third-Party Services and Models
Certain Strata Nine services may integrate with third-party infrastructure providers, cloud platforms, AI model providers, telecommunications operators, or software vendors.
Such integrations are subject to contractual, technical, and security controls designed to protect customer information and maintain operational integrity.
Customers may request information regarding relevant subprocessors where applicable.
Continuous Improvement
The AI landscape is evolving rapidly.
Strata Nine continuously reviews its governance practices, security controls, and operational procedures to address emerging technologies, risks, regulations, and customer requirements.
