# Data Security

## Data Ownership

Data Tiles platforms, including **Latttice and related services**, are designed around a clear principle: **customers retain full ownership and control of their data**.

Customers maintain full rights to the data they connect, access, upload, or manage through Data Tiles platforms. Data Tiles does not claim ownership of Customer Data.

Platforms such as **Latttice, the Data Product Workbench**, enable organizations to transform, govern, and share data products while maintaining full control over the underlying data sources.

When Data Tiles provides support, our role is limited to assisting with platform functionality or resolving technical issues. Any actions involving Customer Data during support activities are performed **only with customer authorization and in accordance with applicable agreements**.

This approach ensures that Customer Data remains secure, confidential, and under the control of the organization that owns it.

## Platform Security

Protecting platform infrastructure and safeguarding access to data are core priorities for Data Tiles.

Data Tiles is responsible for securing the **platform infrastructure**, including:

• application services\
• platform environments\
• system reliability\
• operational security controls.

These safeguards help protect the platform from unauthorized access, vulnerabilities, and misuse.

Customers remain responsible for the **governance and management of the data products they create**, including defining permissions, managing connections to data sources, and ensuring that their use of data complies with applicable laws and internal governance policies.

This structure allows organizations to retain full control over their data while relying on Data Tiles to provide a secure and reliable platform environment.

***

## Access Control

Data Tiles platforms enable organizations to control how data products are accessed and shared across teams.

Customers define access permissions for the data products they create, ensuring that **only authorized users can view, use, or interact with those products**.

This includes managing permissions for:

• connected data sources\
• data products\
• integrations associated with the platform.

By allowing organizations to define access policies within their own governance frameworks, platforms such as Latttice help ensure that data remains secure while still being accessible to the teams responsible for making business decisions.

***

## Shared Responsibility Model

Data Tiles platforms operate under a **shared responsibility model**.

**Data Tiles is responsible for securing and operating the platform infrastructure**, including platform services, operational security controls, and system reliability.

**Customers are responsible for managing their data and the data products they create**, including defining governance policies, managing user access, and ensuring that data used within the platform complies with applicable laws and internal policies.

This model enables organizations to retain full control over their data while benefiting from a secure and trusted platform environment provided by Data Tiles.

***

## Responsible Use of Data and AI

Data Tiles platforms support responsible use of **data and AI-driven technologies**.

Features such as the **Latttice Data Product Workbench** help organizations structure, govern, and manage data products in a controlled and transparent manner.

Customers remain responsible for determining how their data is used within their organization and for ensuring that their use of data complies with applicable laws, regulations, and governance policies.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://data-tiles.gitbook.io/latttice-how-to-guide/trust-and-security/data-security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
