Trust & Security

Built so you can upload with confidence

FMSchemaIQ is designed to give developers and business owners a clear view of their FileMaker system while applying enterprise-grade safeguards to the data you upload.

A. Your data stays yours

  • You retain full ownership of your DDR files and analysis data.
  • Your data is never sold or shared with third parties for their own use.
  • Your DDR content is never used to train AI or machine learning models.

B. What we analyze

FMSchemaIQ analyzes the structural information contained in your DDR:

  • Tables, fields, and relationships
  • Scripts, layouts, and value lists
  • Accounts, privilege sets, and configuration metadata

We do not access live database records or end-user data.

C. How processing works

DDR files are processed securely within the FMSchemaIQ platform to generate analysis reports. Some parsing and visualization may also run locally in your browser for performance and privacy.

Generated reports are encrypted at rest and isolated to your account. If you opt in to retain the original DDR XML, it is encrypted and scoped to your account, and is removed automatically when you delete the report. Passwords detected in ODBC connection strings are stripped before storage.

D. Security practices

  • Encrypted transport (TLS) for all uploads and downloads
  • Encryption at rest for stored reports
  • Per-user access isolation enforced at the database layer
  • Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect uploaded data
  • Minimization of the data we touch and retain

E. Retention and deletion

  • Reports may automatically expire based on your account plan and retention policy.
  • You can manually delete any report at any time from your dashboard.
  • Deleting a report also removes any optional retained DDR XML associated with it.

F. Responsible usage

  • Review your DDR before upload and avoid unnecessary secrets, API keys, tokens, or confidential production data where possible.
  • Always validate changes in a development or testing environment before modifying production systems.
  • Treat insights as guidance and consult a qualified FileMaker expert for major changes.

FMSchemaIQ implements reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect uploaded data. No platform can guarantee absolute security; we continuously improve our controls and recommend following the responsible usage guidance above.
