# Security

> An overview of Context7's security practices, data handling, and compliance measures

Context7 takes security and privacy seriously. This page outlines our security practices, data handling, and compliance measures.

## Highlights

* Your original prompts stay with your AI assistant; Context7 only receives search queries formulated by the MCP client, which is instructed to strip sensitive data before sending them
* Documentation is indexed inside SOC 2 compliant infrastructure operated by Upstash
* API keys are encrypted, rate limited, and easy to rotate from your dashboard
* Enterprise customers can enable SSO (SAML, OAuth, OIDC) and receive dedicated audit trails
* The [Context7 Addendum](https://upstash.com/trust/context7addendum.pdf), [Upstash Terms and Privacy Policy](https://upstash.com/docs/common/help/legal) applies to all users; see [trust.upstash.com](https://trust.upstash.com/) for full infrastructure compliance details, certifications
