Your data stays local, private, and fully in your control. Galaxy is designed from the ground up with a local-first, privacy-preserving architecture — and a deep commitment to modern security best practices.

Data Ownership, Control, and Compliance

Galaxy ensures that you maintain full ownership and control over your data while our team builds with security and compliance in mind.

Ownership & Data Privacy

Access Control & Permissions

Your organization controls access — we enforce a strict least privilege model.

Self-Managed Access

Admins can define and manage permissions for database connections, environments, and more.

Minimal Default Permissions

New users start with minimal access by default, ensuring sensitive data is protected out of the box.

How Galaxy Connects to Your Infrastructure

Galaxy runs locally and never transmits your query data to the cloud.

Self-Managed Access

  • Desktop app only: Galaxy runs as a desktop app; no queries are routed through our servers.
  • No data leaves your system: Query execution and results remain inside your infrastructure.

Galaxy AI & Schema Handling

  • AI is optional and disabled by default.
  • If enabled, only schema metadata (e.g., table names, column names) is shared — never raw data.
  • No AI training on your schemas, and schema details are not stored after the session.

Chat History & Auditing

  • Chat history is scoped to your org and workspace.
  • Audit logs help admins monitor usage and ensure compliance.

Encryption & Data Protection

We follow industry standards to protect your credentials and usage data.
Coming soon: expanded encryption, stronger credential protections, and org-wide security policies.

Security Best Practices in Development

We build with security in mind at every step.
Future plans include external audits and penetration testing.

Our Commitment to Security as We Scale

Security is a journey — and we’re investing in it every step of the way.
Upcoming initiatives include:
Our goal is to earn your trust — not just once, but continuously.
