Frequently Asked Questions
How does Airbyte Cloud comply with the GDPR?
Airbyte Cloud is designed to separate the processing of data from the use and storage of account information. This means that data processing can occur entirely in-region so that European consumer data never has to leave Europe.
Airbyte Cloud also adheres to the data protection principles embedded in the GDPR, including but not limited to data privacy reviews, data minimization, data subject rights, and industry standard security practices.
Has Airbyte completed the self-certification process for Privacy Shield?
Privacy Shield was invalidated in July 2020 by the Court of Justice of the European Union before Airbyte began operations. A new framework is forthcoming, and Airbyte will comply with and certify as appropriate once it goes into effect.
Is Airbyte compliant with HIPAA?
Airbyte has determined with the support of its outside counsel that it qualifies as an information conduit for the purpose of HIPAA. This designation, however, is not a formal process and there is no third-party opinion or legal document for Airbyte to share.
The conduit exception is a HIPAA exclusion from the Omnibus Final Rule that applies to service providers that cannot be considered Business Associates because they do not have any way of accessing or storing electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) during the performance of their service. Because a conduit is not a Business Associate, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is not required in order for a HIPAA-covered entity to use the conduit’s services.
The Department of Health and Human Services states in its guidance on Business Associates that “the Privacy Rule does not require a covered entity to enter into business associate contracts with organizations, such as the US Postal Service, certain private couriers and their electronic equivalents that act merely as conduits for protected health information. A conduit transports information but does not access it other than on a random or infrequent basis as necessary for the performance of the transportation service or as required by law. Since no disclosure is intended by the covered entity, and the probability of exposure of any particular protected health information to a conduit is very small, a conduit is not a business associate of the covered entity.”
Is an ISO 27001 certification or SOC2 Type II report available?
Yes, these documents are available through our Trust Report. You can request access to our Trust Report here.
Can Airbyte’s software anonymize data during processing?
Airbyte is currently developing a data-masking feature to be released early this year. Until then, we offer custom code to support data hashing prior to using some Airbyte connectors to move data. To learn more about this custom code, visit our blog post here. We also offer the ability to select certain fields within a dataset for removal or suppression prior to moving data; this can be done within the Airbyte Cloud dashboard.
