Privacy & Security: How CalcTree protects your IP and data as a top priority

Tired of IP leakage through spreadsheet copies? Take proactive action on IP and data protection by using CalcTree.

At CalcTree, we know your intellectual property (IP) isn’t just valuable — it’s core to your competitive edge. Whether it's your custom formulas, calculation logic, or project-specific data, protecting it is non-negotiable. That’s why we’ve built our platform to put you in full control of your data, and we’re transparent about how it's stored, used, and safeguarded.

You Own Your IP

Your calculations are yours. Always.

When you build or upload a calculation to CalcTree, you retain full ownership of the intellectual property. We do not claim rights to your formulas, logic, or data and we don’t use it to train AI that could expose your IP to others. You control who sees it — whether it's just you, your team, or collaborators you choose to share it with. You have the option to export your data or ask us to permanently delete it from our servers at any time.

We will never share, sell, or expose your IP to competitors or third parties.

Enterprise-Grade Data Security

Secure, encrypted, and access-controlled.

Your data is protected using industry-standard encryption, both in transit and at rest on our servers. Access to your workspace is managed through role-based permissions, with audit logs available for enterprise accounts.

  • Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure, the same technology banks use
  • Backups performed regularly and stored securely
  • Data stored in your browser is protected by its own “same-origin” policies

You’re in control of your data — not just today, but throughout the lifecycle of your account.

AI That Respects Boundaries

Your data is never used to train public models.

We use AI to help speed up your workflows — but your IP is not used to train any public AI models

CalcTree AI agents are isolated and scoped to your workspace by default. We do not allow user data to be collected and used for training by AI.

Want AI off? You can disable AI features for your organization at any time.

Future-Proof Data Ownership

What happens if CalcTree is sold or discontinued?

We believe in transparency and continuity.

  • If CalcTree were ever acquired, your data would not be transferred without your consent.
  • If CalcTree were shut down, we commit to offering a 90-day window to export your calculations, templates, and data.
  • You can export your work at any time — no vendor lock-in.

We’ll never leave you stranded, and your IP protection will always be our first priority.

Built for the Way Engineers Work

We understand the stakes.

Our founders are engineers too. We know your calculations aren’t just numbers — they represent risk, liability, and competitive value. That’s why we’ve made privacy and security a first-class feature — not an afterthought.
