## Executive Summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission

||||||
**Status:** [TO BE RESEARCHED]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Questions:**

|
|
||||||

## Pricing & Plans
|
## Critical Privacy Issue
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 🚨 VERIFIED: FREE/STARTER DESIGNS ARE PUBLIC
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Sources:** Multiple independent reviews and official documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Key Findings:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Free tier - ALL outputs public:**
|
||||||
|
> "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Starter tier ($19/month) - STILL public:**
|
||||||
|
> Designs viewable in public gallery
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Pro tier ($39/month) - First private tier:**
|
||||||
|
> "Paid tiers add private mode so generations aren't public"
|
||||||
|
> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Enterprise - Full privacy:**
|
||||||
|
> "Top-tier privacy, priority support"

## Pricing & Privacy Matrix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Plan | Price | Generations | Privacy Status |
|
||||||
|
|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
|
||||||
|
| Free | $0 | 10/month | 🚨 **ALL PUBLIC** |
|
||||||
|
| Starter | $19/month | 120/month (~12 designs) | 🚨 **STILL PUBLIC** |
|
||||||
|
| Pro | $39/month | 300/month (~30 designs) | ✅ Private mode |
|
||||||
|
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | ✅ Advanced privacy |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why This Matters
|
||||||
|
- **IP Exposure:** Any design created on Free/Starter is visible to competitors, public
|
||||||
|
- **Most expensive for basic privacy:** $39/month required just for private designs
|
||||||
|
- **Hidden cost:** Starter plan users may not realize outputs are public

## Google Acquisition (2025)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rebranding to Google Stitch
|
||||||
|
> "Galileo AI was acquired by Google in 2025 and is now rebranded as Google Stitch."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Post-Acquisition Features:**
|
||||||
|
- Integration with Gemini models
|
||||||
|
- Direct HTML/CSS code export
|
||||||
|
- Two distinct generation modes
|
||||||
|
- Enhanced AI capabilities
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Privacy Implications:**
|
||||||
|
- May now fall under Google's privacy policies
|
||||||
|
- Enterprise tier likely has stronger Google Cloud protections
|
||||||
|
- Free/Starter policy may have changed - verify current terms

- Evaluator Notes: [ADD YOUR OBSERVATIONS]
|
### 🚨 USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Critical Issues:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Free tier = PUBLIC outputs** - Anyone can see your designs
|
||||||
|
2. **Starter ($19) = STILL PUBLIC** - Paying doesn't guarantee privacy
|
||||||
|
3. **Pro ($39) minimum** - First tier with private mode
|
||||||
|
4. **Most expensive for privacy** - $39/month vs UX Pilot's $19/month
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Comparison to Alternatives
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Tool | Private at | Price for Privacy | Recommendation |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
|
||||||
|
| **Galileo AI** | Pro tier | $39/month | 🚨 Avoid Free/Starter |
|
||||||
|
| UX Pilot | All paid tiers | $19/month | ✅ Recommended |
|
||||||
|
| Uizard | Business tier | $39/month | ⚠️ Business+ only |
|
||||||
|
| Lovable | Any (with opt-out) | $0+ | ⚠️ Opt-out required |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Action Items for Enterprise Users
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### DO NOT USE Free/Starter for:
|
||||||
|
- Proprietary UI designs
|
||||||
|
- Client work
|
||||||
|
- Competitive product designs
|
||||||
|
- Any confidential concepts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### If You Must Use Galileo AI:
|
||||||
|
1. **Minimum:** Pro tier ($39/month)
|
||||||
|
2. **Recommended:** Enterprise (for full privacy)
|
||||||
|
3. **Alternative:** Use UX Pilot instead ($19/month with privacy)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Galileo AI's public output policy on Free/Starter tiers makes it **unsuitable for enterprise use** without the Pro tier ($39/month). The fact that even the paid Starter tier ($19/month) has public outputs is a significant concern.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Hackathon:**
|
||||||
|
- ❌ Enterprise code/designs: Do NOT use Free/Starter
|
||||||
|
- ⚠️ Pro tier ($39): Acceptable if privacy needed
|
||||||
|
- ✅ New non-sensitive projects: Any tier (if public outputs acceptable)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Strong Recommendation:** Use **UX Pilot** instead - same price point, guaranteed privacy.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Tool Overview
|
|
||||||
**Name:** Galileo AI
|
|
||||||
**Website:** https://www.usegalileo.ai

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Privacy & Enterprise Use
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL USE (Paid Plans)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- Generates UI designs from text prompts
|
|
||||||
- Similar to Uizard/UX Pilot
|
|
||||||
- Paid plans allow commercial use of generated designs
|
|
||||||
- Pro and Enterprise tiers designed for professional use
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Model Training on User Data
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ⚠️ **NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - ENTERPRISE PROVIDES "ADVANCED DATA PRIVACY"**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**From Galileo AI's Product Information:**
|
|
||||||
- Training data policy not publicly disclosed for lower tiers
|
|
||||||
- **Enterprise plan includes "Advanced data privacy" feature**
|
|
||||||
- Implies enterprise customers' designs NOT used for AI training
|
|
||||||
- Custom agreements available for Enterprise
|
|
||||||
- No explicit statement for Free/Starter/Pro tiers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ Training policy unclear for Free/Starter/Pro
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Enterprise tier likely does NOT train on customer data (implied by "advanced data privacy")
|
|
||||||
- Standard practice: assume training unless explicitly stated otherwise
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise contracts should include no-training clause
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Enterprise Consideration:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Starter/Pro: Assume potential training usage (not disclosed)
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise: "Advanced data privacy" suggests no training
|
|
||||||
- Must verify in Enterprise contract negotiations
|
|
||||||
- Lack of transparency is a concern for lower tiers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Retention Policies
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ⚠️ NOT PUBLICLY DISCLOSED
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- Retention period not specified
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise tier likely includes custom retention agreements
|
|
||||||
- Designs stored in Galileo's cloud
|
|
||||||
- No self-service deletion mentioned for lower tiers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Sharing Practices
|
|
||||||
**Status:** 🚨 **CRITICAL: FREE/STARTER OUTPUTS ARE PUBLIC**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Third-Party Sharing:**
|
|
||||||
- No indication of third-party data sales
|
|
||||||
- Cloud infrastructure providers for processing
|
|
||||||
- AI model providers for generation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**⚠️ MAJOR CONCERN - Public Design Gallery:**
|
|
||||||
- **Free Plan:** All outputs are PUBLIC (visible in gallery)
|
|
||||||
- **Starter Plan ($19/mo):** Designs still viewable by others (public gallery)
|
|
||||||
- **Pro Plan ($39/mo):** Introduces "Private mode" for designs
|
|
||||||
- **Enterprise:** Private deployment options, isolated data
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- 🚨 **DO NOT use Free or Starter for proprietary designs** (outputs are public)
|
|
||||||
- Only Pro+ offers private designs
|
|
||||||
- This is a MAJOR red flag for Free/Starter tiers
|
|
||||||
- Worse than Uizard/Lovable (those at least keep designs private)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ⚠️ USER OWNS DESIGNS BUT PUBLIC ON LOWER TIERS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Intellectual Property:**
|
|
||||||
- Galileo doesn't claim ownership of generated designs
|
|
||||||
- You can use designs commercially on paid plans
|
|
||||||
- However: Public visibility on Free/Starter undermines IP protection
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confidentiality:**
|
|
||||||
- **Free/Starter:** ZERO confidentiality (outputs public)
|
|
||||||
- **Pro:** Private mode available ($39/mo minimum)
|
|
||||||
- **Enterprise:** Advanced data privacy, private deployment
|
|
||||||
- No NDAs mentioned for lower tiers

**⚠️ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE - PRO TIER MINIMUM, ENTERPRISE PREFERRED**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
|
||||||
- **MINIMUM:** Pro tier ($39/mo) for private design mode
|
|
||||||
- **PREFERRED:** Enterprise tier for advanced data privacy
|
|
||||||
- **CRITICAL:** Never use Free or Starter for proprietary designs
|
|
||||||
- Verify no-training clause in Enterprise contracts
|
|
||||||
- Request explicit data privacy guarantees
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Best For:**
|
|
||||||
- Rapid UI ideation from text prompts
|
|
||||||
- Design exploration and concept generation
|
|
||||||
- Teams with budget for Pro/Enterprise tiers
|
|
||||||
- Organizations comfortable with higher pricing
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Not Recommended For:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Starter tier usage with ANY proprietary designs (outputs are public)
|
|
||||||
- Budget-conscious teams (must pay $39/mo minimum for privacy)
|
|
||||||
- Organizations requiring transparent data policies
|
|
||||||
- Hackathons using Free/Starter tiers (privacy risk)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
|
|
||||||
- **UX Pilot:** Private by default, no training (better default policy, lower cost)
|
|
||||||
- **Uizard:** Private storage on all tiers, but trains on Free/Pro (better than Galileo Free/Starter)
|
|
||||||
- **Lovable:** Private projects by default, but trains without opt-out (still better than public outputs)
|
|
||||||
- **Verdict:** Galileo has WORST privacy on Free/Starter among design AI tools
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hack Days:**
|
|
||||||
- 🚨 **DO NOT USE FREE OR STARTER TIERS** (outputs are public)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Pro tier acceptable if budget allows ($39/mo for private mode)
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ Consider alternatives: UX Pilot ($19/mo with privacy), Uizard Business ($39/mo)
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise tier ideal but may be cost-prohibitive for short events

## 🚨 CRITICAL PROCUREMENT ALERT
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**This tool has SEVERE privacy limitations on Free/Starter tiers.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### DO NOT USE FOR PROPRIETARY DESIGNS:
|
|
||||||
- ❌ **Free Tier:** All outputs PUBLIC (visible in gallery to all users)
|
|
||||||
- ❌ **Starter Tier ($19/mo):** Still PUBLIC (no privacy improvement)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
|
|
||||||
- ✅ **Pro Tier ($39/mo):** First tier with private design mode
|
|
||||||
- ✅ **Enterprise:** Advanced data privacy, recommended for sensitive work
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Before using Galileo AI:
|
|
||||||
1. **NEVER use Free or Starter for proprietary UI designs**
|
|
||||||
2. Budget for Pro tier minimum ($39/mo) if privacy needed
|
|
||||||
3. Verify training policy in writing (not publicly disclosed)
|
|
||||||
4. Request explicit no-training clause in Enterprise contracts
|
|
||||||
5. **Consider alternatives with better privacy defaults:**
|
|
||||||
- UX Pilot: $19/mo with privacy, no training
|
|
||||||
- Uizard Business: $39/mo, no training, private
|
|
||||||
- Lovable Business: $50/mo, opt-out available
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Hackathon Recommendation:
|
|
||||||
**AVOID Free/Starter tiers** - Consider UX Pilot or Uizard Business as safer alternatives at similar/lower price points with better default privacy.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Recommended Tier:** Pro ($39/mo) minimum or Enterprise (preferred)

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Executive Summary
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Critical Privacy Issue
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 🚨 VERIFIED: FREE/STARTER DESIGNS ARE PUBLIC
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Sources:** Multiple independent reviews and official documentation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Free tier - ALL outputs public:**
|
|
||||||
> "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. **Starter tier ($19/month) - STILL public:**
|
|
||||||
> Designs viewable in public gallery
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. **Pro tier ($39/month) - First private tier:**
|
|
||||||
> "Paid tiers add private mode so generations aren't public"
|
|
||||||
> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. **Enterprise - Full privacy:**
|
|
||||||
> "Top-tier privacy, priority support"

## Pricing & Privacy Matrix
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Plan | Price | Generations | Privacy Status |
|
|
||||||
|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
|
|
||||||
| Free | $0 | 10/month | 🚨 **ALL PUBLIC** |
|
|
||||||
| Starter | $19/month | 120/month (~12 designs) | 🚨 **STILL PUBLIC** |
|
|
||||||
| Pro | $39/month | 300/month (~30 designs) | ✅ Private mode |
|
|
||||||
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | ✅ Advanced privacy |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Why This Matters
|
|
||||||
- **IP Exposure:** Any design created on Free/Starter is visible to competitors, public
|
|
||||||
- **Most expensive for basic privacy:** $39/month required just for private designs
|
|
||||||
- **Hidden cost:** Starter plan users may not realize outputs are public

> "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"

## Enterprise Recommendation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 🚨 USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Critical Issues:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Free tier = PUBLIC outputs** - Anyone can see your designs
|
|
||||||
2. **Starter ($19) = STILL PUBLIC** - Paying doesn't guarantee privacy
|
|
||||||
3. **Pro ($39) minimum** - First tier with private mode
|
|
||||||
4. **Most expensive for privacy** - $39/month vs UX Pilot's $19/month
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Comparison to Alternatives
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Tool | Private at | Price for Privacy | Recommendation |
|
|
||||||
|------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
|
|
||||||
| **Galileo AI** | Pro tier | $39/month | 🚨 Avoid Free/Starter |
|
|
||||||
| UX Pilot | All paid tiers | $19/month | ✅ Recommended |
|
|
||||||
| Uizard | Business tier | $39/month | ⚠️ Business+ only |
|
|
||||||
| Lovable | Any (with opt-out) | $0+ | ⚠️ Opt-out required |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Action Items for Enterprise Users
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### DO NOT USE Free/Starter for:
|
|
||||||
- Proprietary UI designs
|
|
||||||
- Client work
|
|
||||||
- Competitive product designs
|
|
||||||
- Any confidential concepts
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### If You Must Use Galileo AI:
|
|
||||||
1. **Minimum:** Pro tier ($39/month)
|
|
||||||
2. **Recommended:** Enterprise (for full privacy)
|
|
||||||
3. **Alternative:** Use UX Pilot instead ($19/month with privacy)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Conclusion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Galileo AI's public output policy on Free/Starter tiers makes it **unsuitable for enterprise use** without the Pro tier ($39/month). The fact that even the paid Starter tier ($19/month) has public outputs is a significant concern.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hackathon:**
|
|
||||||
- ❌ Enterprise code/designs: Do NOT use Free/Starter
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ Pro tier ($39): Acceptable if privacy needed
|
|
||||||
- ✅ New non-sensitive projects: Any tier (if public outputs acceptable)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Strong Recommendation:** Use **UX Pilot** instead - same price point, guaranteed privacy.

## Enterprise Recommendation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ⚠️ APPROVED WITH CAVEATS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Why caution is needed:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Training by default** - Unlike UX Pilot, Lovable trains unless you opt out
|
||||||
|
2. **Manual opt-out for Free/Pro** - Requires contacting support
|
||||||
|
3. **Healthcare/compliance risk** - Enterprise agreement may be needed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Recommendation by use case:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Use Case | Recommended Tier | Action Required |
|
||||||
|
|----------|-----------------|-----------------|
|
||||||
|
| Personal projects | Free/Pro | None (training OK) |
|
||||||
|
| Non-sensitive work | Pro + opt-out | Contact support |
|
||||||
|
| Sensitive work | Business ($50) | Enable opt-out toggle |
|
||||||
|
| Regulated industry | Enterprise | Custom agreement |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Comparison to Alternatives
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Tool | Default Training | Opt-Out Method | Safest Tier |
|
||||||
|
|------|-----------------|----------------|-------------|
|
||||||
|
| **Lovable** | 🚨 YES | Support (Free/Pro), Settings (Bus/Ent) | Business $50 |
|
||||||
|
| UX Pilot | ✅ NO | Not needed | Standard $19 |
|
||||||
|
| Uizard | 🚨 YES (Free/Pro) | Automatic (Bus/Ent) | Business $39 |
|

|
| Galileo AI | 🚨 PUBLIC | Requires Pro | Pro $39 |

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lovable is a capable AI app builder, but its **default training policy** requires attention. For enterprise use with proprietary code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Minimum:** Free/Pro with manual opt-out request
|
||||||
|
- **Recommended:** Business tier ($50/month) with workspace opt-out
|
||||||
|
- **Regulated industries:** Enterprise with custom agreement
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Hackathon:**
|
||||||
|
- ✅ New projects (training OK): Any tier
|
||||||
|
- ⚠️ Enterprise code: Business tier or higher, OR submit opt-out request before use

## Privacy & Enterprise Use
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL USE
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- No-code AI app builder designed for company use
|
|
||||||
- Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers available
|
|
||||||
- All tiers support commercial app development
|
|
||||||
- Private projects now default across all plans (important privacy update)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Model Training on User Data
|
|
||||||
**Status:** 🚨 **USES DATA FOR TRAINING BY DEFAULT - OPT-OUT AVAILABLE**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**From Lovable's Documentation:**
|
|
||||||
- **Free/Pro Plans:** Customer data **CAN be used to fine-tune Lovable's AI unless you manually opt out**
|
|
||||||
- **Business/Enterprise Plans:** Workspace-level switch to opt out of training data usage (enabled by default for Enterprise)
|
|
||||||
- Must contact support to opt out on Free/Pro plans
|
|
||||||
- Personally identifiable information (PII) never used directly - anonymized if aggregated
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ **Default behavior: data CAN be used for training on Free/Pro**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ **Manual opt-out required** (must contact support on lower tiers)
|
|
||||||
- ✅ **Business/Enterprise: opt-out enabled by default**
|
|
||||||
- Raw PII not used for training (anonymized only)
|
|
||||||
- Proprietary code and projects at risk on Free/Pro without opt-out
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Enterprise Consideration:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro: Must request opt-out before using with proprietary code
|
|
||||||
- Business/Enterprise: Safer defaults, workspace controls
|
|
||||||
- Similar risk profile to Uizard (tiered data usage model)
|
|
||||||
- Opt-out must be explicitly enabled/requested
|
|
||||||
|

- App artifacts stored in Lovable's cloud
|
|
||||||
- Private projects now default (previously some were public)
|
|
||||||
- Retention period not specified
|
|
||||||
- Likely retains data while workspace is active
|
|
||||||
- Deletion policies not transparent
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Sharing Practices
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ⚠️ TIER-DEPENDENT
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Third-Party Sharing:**
|
|
||||||
- Cloud infrastructure providers (AWS/GCP likely)
|
|
||||||
- Underlying AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- Code hosting/deployment services
|
|
||||||
- Without opt-out: anonymized data may be used internally for training
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Infrastructure:**
|
|
||||||
- Cloud-based SaaS platform
|
|
||||||
- Private projects by default (recent improvement)
|
|
||||||
- Workspace isolation for Business/Enterprise
|
|
||||||
- Single-tenant available for Enterprise
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Privacy Update:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Private projects now default across all plans
|
|
||||||
- Previously, some projects were public by default
|
|
||||||
- Important confidentiality improvement
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ USER OWNS CODE (with training concerns on Free/Pro)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Intellectual Property:**
|
|
||||||
- You retain rights to your app artifacts and generated code
|
|
||||||
- Private projects by default (major improvement)
|
|
||||||
- No IP claims by Lovable on your work
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise includes enhanced security options
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confidentiality:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro: Code may be used for training without opt-out (⚠️)
|
|
||||||
- Business/Enterprise: Better controls, opt-out by default
|
|
||||||
- Private projects help confidentiality
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise can include custom agreements/NDAs

## Enterprise Compatibility Assessment
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Strengths ✅
|
|
||||||
- Private projects by default (recent improvement)
|
|
||||||
- User retains IP ownership of generated code
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
- Rapid app prototyping capabilities
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise tier offers single-tenant deployment
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Concerns 🚨
|
|
||||||
- **MAJOR:** Free/Pro tiers use data for training by default
|
|
||||||
- **Manual opt-out required** on lower tiers (must contact support)
|
|
||||||
- Not opt-out by default on Free/Pro (violates best practices)
|
|
||||||
- Credit limits may be restrictive for heavy usage
|
|
||||||
- Data retention policies not transparent
|
|
||||||
- PII handling relies on anonymization (not zero collection)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Red Flags
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ **DO NOT USE FREE/PRO TIERS FOR PROPRIETARY APPS WITHOUT OPT-OUT**
|
|
||||||
- Default behavior allows training on customer code
|
|
||||||
- Opt-out process requires manual support contact (not self-service on Free/Pro)
|
|
||||||
- Risk of proprietary code/logic entering training dataset
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Recommendations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**⚠️ APPROVED WITH SIGNIFICANT CAVEATS - BUSINESS/ENTERPRISE PREFERRED**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
|
||||||
- **MINIMUM:** Business tier with opt-out enabled
|
|
||||||
- **PREFERRED:** Enterprise tier (opt-out by default, enhanced security)
|
|
||||||
- **CRITICAL:** If using Free/Pro, MUST request opt-out before uploading code
|
|
||||||
- Verify opt-out confirmation in writing from support
|
|
||||||
- Ensure workspace-level switch is disabled for training
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Best For:**
|
|
||||||
- Rapid no-code app prototyping
|
|
||||||
- Hackathon MVPs and demos
|
|
||||||
- Teams without coding expertise
|
|
||||||
- Quick web app generation
|
|
||||||
- Internal tools and prototypes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Not Recommended For:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro usage with proprietary code (without confirmed opt-out)
|
|
||||||
- Highly sensitive IP without Enterprise tier
|
|
||||||
- Organizations requiring zero data usage for training (without manual verification)
|
|
||||||
- Production apps with sensitive business logic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
|
|
||||||
- **UX Pilot:** Does NOT train by default (safer default policy)
|
|
||||||
- **Uizard:** Similar tiered model (training on Free/Pro)
|
|
||||||
- **GitHub Copilot Business:** No training on customer code (better default)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hack Days:**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ CAN be used IF opt-out is requested and confirmed FIRST
|
|
||||||
- Business tier safer for team hackathons
|
|
||||||
- DO NOT use Free/Pro for proprietary hackathon projects without opt-out
|
|
||||||
- Consider time-boxed Business subscription for event
|
|
||||||
- Alternative: Use GitHub Copilot or Continue.dev for code generation with safer defaults

## Enterprise Recommendation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### ⚠️ APPROVED WITH CAVEATS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Why caution is needed:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Training by default** - Unlike UX Pilot, Lovable trains unless you opt out
|
|
||||||
2. **Manual opt-out for Free/Pro** - Requires contacting support
|
|
||||||
3. **Healthcare/compliance risk** - Enterprise agreement may be needed
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Recommendation by use case:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Use Case | Recommended Tier | Action Required |
|
|
||||||
|----------|-----------------|-----------------|
|
|
||||||
| Personal projects | Free/Pro | None (training OK) |
|
|
||||||
| Non-sensitive work | Pro + opt-out | Contact support |
|
|
||||||
| Sensitive work | Business ($50) | Enable opt-out toggle |
|
|
||||||
| Regulated industry | Enterprise | Custom agreement |
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Comparison to Alternatives
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Tool | Default Training | Opt-Out Method | Safest Tier |
|
|
||||||
|------|-----------------|----------------|-------------|
|
|
||||||
| **Lovable** | 🚨 YES | Support (Free/Pro), Settings (Bus/Ent) | Business $50 |
|
|
||||||
| UX Pilot | ✅ NO | Not needed | Standard $19 |
|
|
||||||
| Uizard | 🚨 YES (Free/Pro) | Automatic (Bus/Ent) | Business $39 |
|
|
||||||
| Galileo AI | 🚨 PUBLIC | Requires Pro | Pro $39 |

|
||||||

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Conclusion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Lovable is a capable AI app builder, but its **default training policy** requires attention. For enterprise use with proprietary code:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Minimum:** Free/Pro with manual opt-out request
|
|
||||||
- **Recommended:** Business tier ($50/month) with workspace opt-out
|
|
||||||
- **Regulated industries:** Enterprise with custom agreement
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hackathon:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ New projects (training OK): Any tier
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ Enterprise code: Business tier or higher, OR submit opt-out request before use

|
|
||||||
## Privacy & Enterprise Use
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE (Business/Enterprise plans)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- Offers Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans
|
|
||||||
- Business and Enterprise plans designed for commercial use
|
|
||||||
- Supports team collaboration and enterprise workflows
|
|
||||||
- AI-powered UI generation from screenshots, text, or wireframes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Model Training on User Data
|
|
||||||
**Status:** 🚨 **USES DATA FOR TRAINING ON FREE/PRO - ENTERPRISE EXEMPT**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**From Uizard's Terms & Privacy Policy:**
|
|
||||||
- **Free/Pro Plans:** Designs uploaded (screens, wireframes, etc.) **CAN be used to fine-tune Uizard's AI models**
|
|
||||||
- **Business/Enterprise Plans:** Customer data is **NOT used for model training**
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise plans include "AI data SLA" to govern data usage and security
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ **Free and Pro tiers allow training on your designs**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ **Business/Enterprise plans protect your data from training**
|
|
||||||
- Similar risk profile to Lovable (opt-out required for lower tiers)
|
|
||||||
- Output designs are non-exclusive (could be similar for different users)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Enterprise Consideration:**
|
|
||||||
- Must use Business or Enterprise tier for proprietary design work
|
|
||||||
- AI data SLA contractually ensures no model training on your data
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro usage would expose design concepts to Uizard's training pipeline
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Retention Policies
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ⚠️ TIER-DEPENDENT
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- Data handling differs by plan tier
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise plans include data retention controls
|
|
||||||
- Business/Enterprise: Data governed by SLA
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro: Standard retention (likely indefinite for training purposes)
|
|
||||||
- Users retain ownership of design artifacts across all tiers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Sharing Practices
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ NO THIRD-PARTY SHARING
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Third-Party Sharing:**
|
|
||||||
- No indication of design data sharing with third parties
|
|
||||||
- Cloud infrastructure used for processing
|
|
||||||
- Designs stored on Uizard's servers
|
|
||||||
- Business/Enterprise: Isolated customer data
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Infrastructure:**
|
|
||||||
- Cloud-based SaaS platform
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise tier includes enhanced security controls
|
|
||||||
- Private workspaces for team collaboration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ USER OWNS DESIGNS (with caveats)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Intellectual Property:**
|
|
||||||
- You retain ownership of your design artifacts
|
|
||||||
- Output designs are non-exclusive (no guaranteed uniqueness)
|
|
||||||
- Multiple users could receive similar AI-generated designs
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise plans include confidentiality protections via SLA
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confidentiality:**
|
|
||||||
- Free/Pro: Designs may be used for AI training (reduces confidentiality)
|
|
||||||
- Business/Enterprise: AI data SLA provides contractual protections
|
|
||||||
- No public NDAs mentioned for Free/Pro
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise tier likely includes custom NDAs

|
||||||
|

|
||||||

### Comparison to Alternatives

|
|
||||||
|
| Tool | Training Policy | Safest Tier | Privacy |
|
||||||
|
|------|----------------|-------------|---------|
|
||||||
|
| **UX Pilot** | ✅ No training (any tier) | Free trial+ | Best |
|
||||||
|
| Uizard | 🚨 Free/Pro train | Business ($39) | Good |
|
||||||
|
| Lovable | 🚨 Default trains | Business ($50) | Moderate |
|
||||||
|
| Galileo AI | 🚨 Free/Starter PUBLIC | Pro ($39) | Worst |

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
UX Pilot represents the **gold standard for design tool privacy**. Unlike competitors that train on customer designs (Uizard, Lovable) or make outputs public (Galileo AI), UX Pilot explicitly commits to never training on user designs at any tier.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Hackathon:** ✅ Can use with enterprise code/designs on any paid tier.

|
||||||
### Recommendations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**✅ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE - PAID PLANS RECOMMENDED**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
|
||||||
- Standard or Pro plan required for commercial use
|
|
||||||
- No special enterprise contract needed for privacy (training already disabled)
|
|
||||||
- Can safely use even free tier for testing (but not commercial deployment)
|
|
||||||
- One of the safest design AI tools from privacy perspective

|
||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
- **Galileo AI:** Free tier outputs are public (UX Pilot is private)

## Conclusion
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
UX Pilot represents the **gold standard for design tool privacy**. Unlike competitors that train on customer designs (Uizard, Lovable) or make outputs public (Galileo AI), UX Pilot explicitly commits to never training on user designs at any tier.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hackathon:** ✅ Can use with enterprise code/designs on any paid tier.

## Enterprise-Specific Considerations
|
## AI Training Policy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Compliance & Certifications
|
### ⚠️ NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - BUT IMPLIED SAFE
|
||||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
|
||||||
**Sources to Check:**
|
|
||||||
- Security/Trust page: https://www.aikido.dev/security (or similar)
|
|
||||||
- Compliance documentation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Check for:**
|
**Finding:** Aikido's privacy policy does not explicitly address whether customer code is used for AI model training.
|
||||||
- SOC 2 Type II certification
|
|
||||||
- ISO 27001
|
|
||||||
- GDPR compliance
|
|
||||||
- CCPA compliance
|
|
||||||
- Industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
|
|
||||||
- OWASP Top 10 coverage
|
|
||||||
- CWE/CVE database integration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Deployment Options
|
**Why This Is Likely Safe:**
|
||||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
|
||||||
**Check for:**
|
|
||||||
- Cloud-hosted (SaaS)
|
|
||||||
- Self-hosted/on-premise options
|
|
||||||
- Private cloud deployment
|
|
||||||
- Air-gapped environment support
|
|
||||||
- Multi-tenant vs single-tenant
|
|
||||||
- Data residency options (EU, US, etc.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Security Features
|
1. **No code retention:** Code is deleted immediately after analysis (1-5 min), making training technically infeasible
|
||||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
2. **GDPR compliance:** Training would require explicit disclosure under GDPR - none exists
|
||||||
**Check for:**
|
3. **SOC 2 Type II:** Would require documented data handling practices
|
||||||
- SSO/SAML support
|
4. **Privacy-first stance:** "Your data won't be shared"
|
||||||
- SCIM provisioning
|
|
||||||
- Role-based access control (RBAC)
|
|
||||||
- Audit logging
|
|
||||||
- Data encryption (in transit and at rest)
|
|
||||||
- Two-factor authentication (2FA)
|
|
||||||
- IP whitelisting
|
|
||||||
- Secrets management integration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Integration Ecosystem
|
**Recommendation:** While not explicitly stated, the combination of no code storage + GDPR compliance + SOC 2 strongly suggests customer code is NOT used for AI training. For absolute certainty, contact privacy@aikido.dev.
|
||||||
**Status:** REQUIRES MANUAL VERIFICATION
|
|
||||||
**Check for:**
|
|
||||||
- Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
|
|
||||||
- CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub Actions)
|
|
||||||
- Issue trackers (Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues)
|
|
||||||
- Communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams)
|
|
||||||
- Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
|
|
||||||
- Container registries

## Notes
|
## Security Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Important Considerations for Aikido:**
|
### ✅ Annual Penetration Testing - VERIFIED
|
||||||
1. Aikido is a relatively newer platform - verify company stability and funding
|
|
||||||
2. Check if "all-in-one" approach means different data handling per module
|
|
||||||
3. Verify if cloud scanning means code leaves customer infrastructure
|
|
||||||
4. Understand how secrets detection works and if secrets are stored
|
|
||||||
5. Check if DAST scanning requires exposing applications
|
|
||||||
6. Verify if continuous monitoring means persistent data collection
|
|
||||||
7. Understand the difference between repository scanning vs runtime monitoring
|
|
||||||
8. Check if vulnerability database is proprietary or uses public CVE feeds
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Competitive Positioning:**
|
> "Aikido conducts annual external pentests."
|
||||||
- Compare to Snyk, Semgrep, Checkmarx
|
|
||||||
- Note unique features or limitations
|
|
||||||
- Evaluate maturity of the platform
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Last Updated:** [DATE TO BE ADDED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
### ✅ Bug Bounty Program - VERIFIED
|
||||||
**Researcher:** [TO BE COMPLETED]
|
|
||||||
**Verification Status:** Template - Requires Manual Research
|
> "Aikido maintains an active bug bounty program on Intigriti."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### ✅ On-Premises Option - VERIFIED
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> "Alternatively, you can run Aikido locally (on-prem) as well."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For enterprises requiring code to never leave their network.

||||||
### Recommendations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**✅ PROVISIONALLY APPROVED WITH VERIFICATION**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Action Required BEFORE Use:**
|
|
||||||
1. **Request written confirmation:** No customer code used for training
|
|
||||||
2. **Verify SOC 2 status:** Check current compliance certifications
|
|
||||||
3. **Clarify data retention:** Get specific retention policies in writing
|
|
||||||
4. **Review DPA:** Ensure Data Processing Agreement covers all concerns
|
|

|
|
||||||
- Teams using continuous pentesting
|
|
||||||
- Companies comfortable with newer vendors (after verification)
|
|
||||||
- Cloud-native applications
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Not Ideal For (without verification):**
|
|
||||||
- Highly regulated industries requiring established vendors
|
|
||||||
- Organizations with strict "proven track record" requirements
|
|
||||||
- Companies unable to get written privacy guarantees
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hack Days:**
|
|
||||||
- ⚠️ **Use with caution** - requires connecting to code repository
|
|
||||||
- Should get written confirmation of privacy policies first
|
|
||||||
- Consider using on non-sensitive code first
|
|
||||||
- Alternative: Use established tools (Snyk) if time-constrained
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Comparison to Alternatives
|
|
||||||
- **Snyk:** More established, explicit "no training" policy, broader adoption
|
|
||||||
- **Escape AI:** Similar AI pentesting, also newer company
|
|
||||||
- **Traditional SAST/DAST:** More established but less AI-native

|
||||||
|
- Evaluator: Claude Code based on ChatGPT findings
|
||||||
|
- **Key Finding:** Escape's DAST approach means lower IP exposure than SAST tools (no source code upload)
|
||||||
|
- **Advantage:** Black-box testing approach naturally protects proprietary code
|
||||||
|
- **Status:** Provisionally approved with verification recommended
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Important Considerations for Escape:**
|
---
|
||||||
1. **AI-Powered Testing:** Understand exactly how AI is used and what data feeds the models
|
|
||||||
2. **API Data Sensitivity:** APIs often contain business-critical data - verify how test traffic is handled
|
|
||||||
3. **Testing Production APIs:** Clarify if/how production API testing is supported safely
|
|
||||||
4. **Authentication Handling:** Critical to understand how API credentials and tokens are managed
|
|
||||||
5. **Vulnerability Disclosure:** Check if discovered vulnerabilities are reported externally or kept confidential
|
|
||||||
6. **Test Traffic Generation:** Understand volume and nature of test requests sent to customer APIs
|
|
||||||
7. **False Positive Rate:** Check if AI reduces false positives compared to traditional scanners
|
|
||||||
8. **Schema Requirements:** Verify if OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas are required or if discovery is automatic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Critical Security Questions:**
|
## DAST vs SAST - Privacy Comparison
|
||||||
- Does pentesting generate traffic that could trigger rate limits or WAF rules?
|
|
||||||
- How are API keys and credentials securely provided to the platform?
|
|
||||||
- Is there a way to test staging/development environments only?
|
|
||||||
- What happens if a critical vulnerability is discovered?
|
|
||||||
- Are pentest results encrypted at rest?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Competitive Positioning:**
|
### DAST (Escape, traditional scanners)
|
||||||
- Compare to: StackHawk, Astra Security, Veracode, HCL AppScan

## Notes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Important Considerations for Snyk:**
|
|
||||||
1. Snyk acquired DeepCode (AI-powered code analysis) - understand how AI is used
|
|
||||||
2. Check if Snyk Code (SAST) has different data handling than Snyk Open Source
|
|
||||||
3. Verify if Snyk Broker (for on-premise scanning) addresses data sovereignty concerns
|
|
||||||
4. Understand the difference between CLI, IDE, and CI/CD scanning for data handling
|
|
||||||
5. Check if vulnerability database updates require data sharing

### Model Training on User Data
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ **EXCEPTIONAL - NO AI TRAINING ON USER DATA**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- **BrowserStack DOES NOT have any AI model that trains on your test data**
|
|
||||||
- BrowserStack does not use your application data, test results, or browsing data for training
|
|
||||||
- AI features (like AutoWait) are algorithmic heuristics, not ML models trained on customer data
|
|
||||||
- Test sessions run on isolated VMs/devices that are **completely wiped after each session**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**From BrowserStack Documentation:**
|
|
||||||
> "We do not have any mechanism to view or store your browsing data. All data is wiped out as soon as the session ends."
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Enterprise Consideration:**
|
|
||||||
- Each test runs on fresh VM or physical device
|
|
||||||
- Upon session end, environment completely wiped: cache, cookies, local storage, screenshots, logs
|
|
||||||
- No persistence of application data beyond your account's test history
|
|
||||||

||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Retention Policies
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ CLEARLY DEFINED - IMMEDIATE WIPEOUT

2. During test: Only you can see the session
|
|
||||||
3. Test ends: VM/device wiped completely
|
|
||||||
4. Artifacts stored in your secure account
|
|
||||||
5. You control deletion of artifacts
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

1. **Cloud SaaS** (default): Isolated VMs, immediate wipeout, SOC 2 certified
|
|
||||||
2. **Private Devices**: Dedicated physical devices for your organization
|
|
||||||
3. **Custom Device Lab**: Your own VPC with BrowserStack-managed devices (maximum control)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hack Days:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ **SAFEST CLOUD TESTING OPTION** for hackathons with proprietary code
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
- **vs. Virtuoso:** BrowserStack is vastly superior for privacy (no training, immediate wipeout)
|
|
||||||
- **vs. Testim/Applitools:** BrowserStack provides infrastructure; others provide test authoring
|
|
||||||
- **vs. Diffblue:** Different use case (cross-browser testing vs. unit test generation)
|
|
||||||
- **Among cloud testing platforms:** BrowserStack sets the standard for enterprise security
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

### Strengths
|
### Reinforcement Learning (Not LLM)
|
||||||
- [TO BE FILLED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
Unlike cloud-based AI tools that use Large Language Models:

||||||
|
- Diffblue uses **reinforcement learning** AI
|
||||||
|
- Tests actually compile, run, and validate behavior
|
||||||
|
- Not "predictions" but verified, executable code
|
||||||
|
- Customizes to your specific codebase patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Concerns
|
### Training Approach
|
||||||
- [TO BE FILLED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
- Models adapt to your organization's existing codebase
|
||||||
|
- Learning happens locally, within your environment
|

## AI Technology
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Reinforcement Learning (Not LLM)
|
|
||||||
Unlike cloud-based AI tools that use Large Language Models:
|
|
||||||
- Diffblue uses **reinforcement learning** AI
|
|
||||||
- Tests actually compile, run, and validate behavior
|
|
||||||
- Not "predictions" but verified, executable code
|
|
||||||
- Customizes to your specific codebase patterns
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Training Approach
|
|
||||||
- Models adapt to your organization's existing codebase
|
|
||||||
- Learning happens locally, within your environment
|
|
||||||
- No external data sources compromise intellectual property

### Recommendations
|
### Recommendations
|
||||||
- [TO BE FILLED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
|
||||||
|
**✅ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE - LOW RISK**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
||||||
|
- **Safe to use for accessibility compliance** - meets enterprise privacy standards
|
||||||
|
- No customer content used for AI training
|
||||||
|
- Only front-end elements accessed (not proprietary source code)
|
||||||
|
- Consider AudioEye Enterprise for contractual privacy guarantees
|
||||||
|
- Negotiate data retention and deletion terms in enterprise contract
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Best For:**
|
||||||
|
- Organizations needing ADA/WCAG compliance
|
||||||
|
- Companies with "zero customer data for AI training" policies
|
||||||
|
- Websites requiring automated accessibility remediation
|
||||||
|
- Teams preferring widget overlay vs. manual code changes
|
||||||
|
- Public-facing web applications (not internal proprietary systems)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Use Cases:**
|
||||||
|
- Public websites requiring accessibility compliance
|
||||||
|
- Customer-facing web applications
|
||||||
|
- E-commerce sites
|
||||||
|
- Government/public sector websites
|
||||||
|
- Healthcare portals (with proper data masking)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Hack Days:**
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Safe to use for prototype accessibility testing
|
||||||
|
- Only front-end UI accessed (not sensitive backend code)
|
||||||
|
- 7-day trial sufficient for hackathon duration
|
||||||
|
- Widget scans for accessibility issues without exposing proprietary logic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
|
||||||
|
- **vs. Manual WCAG audits:** Equally AI provides automation and AI suggestions
|
||||||
|
- **vs. Virtuoso/Testim:** Different use case (accessibility vs. functional testing)
|
||||||
|
- **vs. Other accessibility tools:** Similar privacy posture to enterprise accessibility vendors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Important Considerations:**
|
||||||
|
- Widget sees whatever your front-end displays to users (nothing more)
|
||||||
|
- If pages contain sensitive customer PII, ensure proper masking before using widget
|
||||||
|
- For internal proprietary systems, manual accessibility fixes may be preferred
|
||||||
|
- For public websites, Equally AI is safe and effective

||||||
- Widget operates in user's browser (minimal server-side storage)
|
|
||||||
- Heavy lifting (image analysis) may call cloud transiently
|
|
||||||
- AudioEye enterprise contracts likely specify retention terms
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Sharing Practices
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ NO THIRD-PARTY SHARING FOR TRAINING
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Third-Party Sharing:**
|
|
||||||
- No sharing of customer content with third parties
|
|
||||||
- Data stays within Equally AI/AudioEye platform
|
|
||||||
- May use aggregated compliance statistics (anonymized)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Infrastructure:**
|
|
||||||
- Widget runs in user's browser (client-side processing)
|
|
||||||
- Cloud API calls for image analysis (transient)
|
|
||||||
- Focus on ADA compliance means careful PII handling
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise deployments through AudioEye with contractual protections
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ LOW RISK - FRONT-END ONLY
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Intellectual Property:**
|
|
||||||
- You own your website content
|
|
||||||
- Equally AI doesn't claim ownership of AI-generated alt descriptions
|
|
||||||
- Only front-end elements accessed (not source code)
|
|
||||||
- Accessibility fixes are overlays/suggestions, not permanent changes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confidentiality:**
|
|
||||||
- Widget injects overlay on your site for end-users
|
|
||||||
- Structural info (HTML, images) accessed, not proprietary backend code
|
|
||||||
- AudioEye (parent company) serves large enterprise clients with confidentiality requirements
|
|
||||||

## Enterprise Compatibility Assessment
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Strengths ✅
|
|
||||||
- **NO customer website content used for AI training**
|
|
||||||
- GDPR compliant by design
|
|
||||||
- Explicitly does not collect Personal Information
|
|
||||||
- Only front-end structural data accessed (not backend/source code)
|
|
||||||
- Widget operates in browser (minimal data transmission)
|
|
||||||
- Part of AudioEye (established enterprise accessibility vendor)
|
|
||||||
- Privacy Officer available for enterprise concerns
|
|
||||||
- Designed for ADA/WCAG compliance (strict privacy requirements)
|
|
||||||
- Aggregated data only used for compliance statistics (anonymized)
|
|
||||||
- You retain ownership of content and fixes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Concerns 🟡
|
|
||||||
- **Minor:** Image URLs and page structure sent to cloud for analysis (transient)
|
|
||||||
- Retention policies not publicly detailed (enterprise can negotiate)
|
|
||||||
- Widget injects overlay on site (some enterprises prefer manual fixes for full control)
|
|
||||||
- Pricing not transparent (requires sales contact)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Recommendations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**✅ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE - LOW RISK**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
|
||||||
- **Safe to use for accessibility compliance** - meets enterprise privacy standards
|
|
||||||
- No customer content used for AI training
|
|
||||||
- Only front-end elements accessed (not proprietary source code)
|
|
||||||
- Consider AudioEye Enterprise for contractual privacy guarantees
|
|
||||||
- Negotiate data retention and deletion terms in enterprise contract
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Best For:**
|
|
||||||
- Organizations needing ADA/WCAG compliance
|
|
||||||
- Companies with "zero customer data for AI training" policies
|
|
||||||
- Websites requiring automated accessibility remediation
|
|
||||||
- Teams preferring widget overlay vs. manual code changes
|
|
||||||
- Public-facing web applications (not internal proprietary systems)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Use Cases:**
|
|
||||||
- Public websites requiring accessibility compliance
|
|
||||||
- Customer-facing web applications
|
|
||||||
- E-commerce sites
|
|
||||||
- Government/public sector websites
|
|
||||||
- Healthcare portals (with proper data masking)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**For Hack Days:**
|
|
||||||
- ✅ Safe to use for prototype accessibility testing
|
|
||||||
- Only front-end UI accessed (not sensitive backend code)
|
|
||||||
- 7-day trial sufficient for hackathon duration
|
|
||||||
- Widget scans for accessibility issues without exposing proprietary logic
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
|
|
||||||
- **vs. Manual WCAG audits:** Equally AI provides automation and AI suggestions
|
|
||||||
- **vs. Virtuoso/Testim:** Different use case (accessibility vs. functional testing)
|
|
||||||
- **vs. Other accessibility tools:** Similar privacy posture to enterprise accessibility vendors
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Important Considerations:**
|
|
||||||
- Widget sees whatever your front-end displays to users (nothing more)
|
|
||||||
- If pages contain sensitive customer PII, ensure proper masking before using widget
|
|
||||||
- For internal proprietary systems, manual accessibility fixes may be preferred
|
|
||||||
- For public websites, Equally AI is safe and effective

|
||||||
**Recommended Action:**

||||||
- Approved for use on public-facing websites and customer portals
|
|
||||||
- Consider AudioEye Enterprise for contractual privacy guarantees

|
||||||
- Ensure proper PII masking if pages display sensitive customer data

||||||
- For internal proprietary systems, evaluate if widget overlay approach aligns with security policies
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Best Practice:** Use for public website accessibility compliance where front-end display is already public information.

## Privacy & Enterprise Use
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Commercial/Enterprise Use Permission
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ APPROVED FOR ENTERPRISE USE
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- AI-assisted test automation platform (now part of Tricentis)
|
|
||||||
- Built for Agile teams and enterprise environments
|
|
||||||
- Allows recording and running functional UI tests
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
- Designed for enterprise scale with SSO, role-based access, audit logs
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Model Training on User Data
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ NO CUSTOMER DATA USED FOR TRAINING
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- **Testim DOES NOT use your application code/data to train general models**
|
|
||||||
- "Smart Locators" AI uses algorithms that run on-the-fly on your app's DOM during tests
|
|
||||||
- AI is not trained on your application data - it analyzes DOM in real-time
|
|
||||||
- All test data treated as "highly sensitive" per security whitepaper
|
|
||||||
- No customer data repurposed for AI training globally
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Enterprise Consideration:**
|
|
||||||
- Security whitepaper confirms: "All customer data is highly sensitive and transmitted securely"
|
|
||||||
- Test artifacts never exposed to other users
|
|
||||||
- Strict access controls - only your team can see your test projects
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Key Findings:**
|
|
||||||
- Test history (logs, screenshots) stored in secure cloud database
|
|
||||||
- Available on your dashboard until you delete it
|
|
||||||
- No fixed retention period published
|
|
||||||
- Enterprise customers can negotiate data retention durations
|
|
||||||
- You control deletion through dashboard
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Data Sharing Practices
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ NO SHARING - ISOLATED ENVIRONMENTS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Third-Party Sharing:**
|
|
||||||
- No sharing with third parties
|
|
||||||
- Each customer's environment isolated
|
|
||||||
- Test projects only accessible to your team (and Testim support with permission)
|
|
||||||
- Data never exposed to other users
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Infrastructure:**
|
|
||||||
- Encryption at rest and in transit
|
|
||||||
- Secure cloud database storage
|
|
||||||
- Strict access controls
|
|
||||||
- Only your team + Testim support (with explicit permission) can access your tests
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### IP & Confidentiality Concerns
|
|
||||||
**Status:** ✅ STRONG IP PROTECTION
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Intellectual Property:**
|
|
||||||
- You own the test scripts you create
|
|
||||||
- You can export tests as code if you leave
|
|
||||||
- Test export option available (can export tests as code)
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Confidentiality:**
|
|
||||||
- All test data encrypted at rest and in transit
|
|
||||||
- Testim assumes all customer data is "highly sensitive"
|
|
||||||
- No sharing between customer accounts

### Recommendations
|
### Recommendations
|
||||||
- [TO BE FILLED AFTER RESEARCH]
|
|
||||||
|
**⚠️ APPROVED WITH SIGNIFICANT CAVEATS**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Enterprise Use:**
|
||||||
|
- **CRITICAL:** Must negotiate contractual clause to **disable data usage for training**
|
||||||
|
- Get written confirmation that test scenarios won't be used in ML models
|
||||||
|
- Request explicit data retention and deletion policies
|
||||||
|
- Ensure NDA covers test data and workflows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Best For:**
|
||||||
|
- Organizations comfortable with anonymized data usage (after contractual protections)
|
||||||
|
- Teams needing natural language test authoring
|
||||||
|
- Companies prioritizing self-healing over strict data isolation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Not Recommended For:**
|
||||||
|
- Organizations with "zero customer data for AI training" policies (without opt-out)
|
||||||
|
- Highly sensitive proprietary workflows (risk of pattern learning)
|
||||||
|
- Companies requiring complete data isolation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Comparison to Alternatives:**
|
||||||
|
- **Testim, Applitools:** Do NOT use customer data for training by default
|
||||||
|
- **BrowserStack:** Wipes all data after sessions, no training
|
||||||
|
- **Diffblue:** Runs on-premises, zero cloud dependency
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For Hack Days:**
|
||||||
|
- ⚠️ Can be used if team accepts anonymized test data usage
|
||||||
|
- Should NOT be used for highly sensitive/proprietary test scenarios
|
||||||
|
- Consider alternatives (Testim, Applitools) if strict privacy required
