Security
Appear is designed for production workflows with clear boundaries around data handling, access, and operational controls.
All visitor identification and response delivery happens on our global edge network. No customer data is stored on Appear-owned servers. Content processing uses globally distributed edge infrastructure with built-in network protections and end-to-end encryption.
Appear processes only the request metadata and page content required to classify visitors and generate public visibility responses. We do not collect, store, or process personal data from your website visitors. Origin site content is fetched, processed, and cached — not permanently stored.
All traffic between visitors, the Appear edge layer, and your existing site is encrypted end-to-end. Dashboard access is protected with authentication and encrypted connections.
Dashboard and API access require authenticated sessions. All API endpoints are protected with authentication checks. There is no public unauthenticated access to account data or site configuration.
Internal operational access follows least-privilege principles. Support and engineering access to production systems is role-scoped and logged.
Appear does not require access to your codebase, CMS credentials, hosting panel, or deployment pipeline. The only integration point is a single connection record at your domain provider.
