Security and data handling
- Connect with a read only role and scope access to the needed schemas.
- We read metadata such as tables, columns, keys, and existing comments. Data rows remain in your database.
- Prompts for AI summaries use schema context. You can choose to exclude sample data from prompts.
- Secrets are stored with encryption at rest where applicable. Connections use encryption in transit.

Where Data Pilot fits
Teams often compare Data Pilot with documentation tools and visual design tools in the market. Many suites focus on large enterprise rollouts and can require higher spend and longer setup. Data Pilot starts simple and local first then grows with your needs.
If you want we can add a live comparison table that includes well known tools in this space and public plan details. We keep that table up to date on request.
