The path
The path of a request.
Kap prepares, you approve, and the result is placed as a draft in your tool.

The flows
What travels, and in which direction.
| Path | Data | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Your computer to Kap | Your requests and the answers | In place |
| Kap to an external AI provider | Nothing: there is no fallback | In place |
| Kap to your connected tools | The email, calendar and documents you chose to connect | In place |
| Kap to a search engine | The question only, never your documents. Optional feature | Planned for launch |
| Our team to the device | Updates and maintenance, over an encrypted connection the device opens itself | Planned for launch |
| Audience tracking from the application | None | In place |
What Kap keeps from your emails. For each email reviewed: the sender, the subject, the date, an excerpt, a summary and the draft reply. Access to your tools is encrypted.
Permissions
Who sees what.
Four roles
Administrator, manager, member, reader. Each sees only what their role allows.
In placeData kept apart
One organisation’s data is separated from the others’, in the database itself.
In placeTwo-factor authentication
A code is added to the password. Nobody can create an account without being invited.
In place
Approval
Nothing goes out without you.
A draft, not a sent message
A reply prepared by Kap is only placed in your mailbox as a draft, after your approval.
In placeWho approved, and when
Every approval is recorded with the person’s name and the time.
In placeA log that cannot be rewritten
Every action is added to it, whether it comes from a person or from Kap. Nothing in it is changed afterwards.

The risks
Seven risks, seven protections.
The Kap Box has not shipped yet: the device protections are those we are putting in place for its launch.
- 01
The network
- The risk
- Someone scanning the internet finds the device.
- The protection
- No port is open to the outside. The device only opens outgoing connections, and a firewall blocks everything else.
- 02
Maintenance access
- The risk
- Our maintenance access becomes a way in.
- The protection
- Two-factor authentication, a different key for each device, access limited to two named people and a log of every connection.
- 03
Remote hardware management
- The risk
- If badly configured, the feature that powers on and controls the machine remotely becomes a weakness.
- The protection
- Factory credentials changed. The feature can only be reached through our private maintenance network, never from the internet.
- 04
Theft of the device
- The risk
- Someone takes the device and reads the disk.
- The protection
- Fully encrypted disk, a start-up password and secure boot.
- 05
A booby-trapped email
- The risk
- An email or a document contains hidden instructions, for example “send this file to this address”.
- The protection
- Kap takes no action without human approval, and each user only sees the documents they are entitled to.
- 06
Accounts
- The risk
- An account stays open after an employee leaves.
- The protection
- Two-factor authentication is in place. Sign-in with the company account and immediate removal of access when an employee leaves are planned.
- 07
Hardware and updates
- The risk
- An unneeded feature or out-of-date software opens a gap.
- The protection
- No Wi-Fi and no Bluetooth, automatic security updates, no unneeded software installed.
The hardware
Where the device comes from, and what it does with the internet.
Where the hardware comes from
The hardware is made in Asia, like almost every computer. All the software is installed and checked by us, in Europe.
The device sends your documents to no AI provider. Its only outgoing connections are those in the table of data flows.
Kap and the internet
Kap is designed so that the AI runs on the device, without going through an online service to answer. We will confirm this on a delivered device.
Online search is an optional feature. When it is switched on, only the question goes to the search engine. Your documents stay on the device, and the answer cites its sources.
In all honesty
What is not finished yet.
We would rather write it down than leave you guessing. This list will be kept up to date.
Retention periods and deletion
How long each piece of data is kept, and what is deleted when you disconnect a tool: not settled yet.
Being definedWhat our team can see on your side
The cases in which our team accesses your installation, and what it can read there: being written.
Being definedWorking without the internet
Planned: Kap answers and finds your documents with no connection. Connected tools do need the internet. We will publish this once it has been proven on a delivered device.
Planned for launchBackups
Planned: an encrypted backup every day, with a copy on your premises.
