      Most AI products ask you to trust them with your data. We don't ask — because we can't see it. Each Federated Computer install is single-tenant: yours alone, protected by industrial-grade firewalls, and once you change your admin password, we can't access your data at all. No advertising. No AI training on your business. Ever.
