# Data & privacy

Where your data lives, who processes it, and the agreements that protect it.

You should know what Evonx holds, what stays in *your* app, and which legal
pages bind that split. This page maps the pieces; it does not replace the
agreements.

## Two roles

**Account and usage data** — name, email, sign-in, billing, platform logs —
Evonx is the controller. That processing is described in the
[Privacy Policy](/privacy).

**Data inside repositories, Shopify stores, and the content you paste into
chat** — you are the controller and Evonx is the processor, on your
instructions. The [Data Processing Agreement](/dpa) applies automatically; you
do not have to countersign it to be covered. Procurement that needs a signed
copy writes to legal@evonx.ai.

## Where app data sits

The Postgres behind a template app or a custom API Evonx provisioned is the
[managed database](/docs/launch/managed-database). **Live** is the published
app; **Development** is what previews use. Preview databases are ephemeral —
they reset when the preview goes away.

[Project secrets](/docs/launch/secrets-and-in-app-ai) are write-only keys.
Repository access is granted through GitHub and revoked there. Shopify theme
work is granted through the store connection you turn on — see
[Shopify](/docs/integrations/shopify).

## Who else processes data

Infrastructure and AI providers that run the platform are listed on
[Sub-processors](/subprocessors). GitHub and Shopify only receive data after
*you* connect them.

How changes land in your code — pull requests, isolated previews, encryption
in transit — is on [Security](/security). Report a vulnerability to
security@evonx.ai, not to the product inbox.
