Security and privacy for foundation models
Watsonx Code Assistant uses IBM Granite foundation models to help you code more quickly and more accurately by using natural language prompts. Your work with these foundation models is secure and private, in the same way that all your work on watsonx Code Assistant is secure and private.
The foundation models that you interact are hosted in IBM Cloud®. Your data is not sent to any third-party or open source platforms.
Any prompts that you create for are accessible only by you. Your prompt text is not accessible or used by IBM or any other person or organization.
Any data that you save is stored in a dedicated IBM Cloud Object Storage bucket that is associated with your project.
Data that is stored in your project storage bucket is encrypted at rest and in motion. You can delete your stored data at any time.
Privacy and security of saved work
Only people with Admin or Editor role access to the project or the project storage bucket can view saved assets. You control who can access your project and its associated Object Storage bucket.
For more information about asset security, see Securing your data in watsonx Code Assistant.
For more information about managing project access, see Setting up watsonx Code Assistant for Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed in IBM Cloud or Managing IAM access for watsonx Code Assistant for Z.
