How we handle your data
Five commitments that don't bend.
Mercata is a system of your record. The promise that makes it useful — that it gets more yours every day — only works if your data is treated as yours, end to end.
Your data stays yours.
We never use it to improve or train our models. Your firm's research, theses, and reasoning are not training data for anyone else's product.
Private data remains private.
Your private data is stored in isolated, customer-specific environments. Logically separated from every other firm's data, by design.
Full data visibility.
Complete transparency. Manage access and monitor usage across your entire operation — no black box on what's stored, who reads it, or how it's used.
Modern security practices.
Mercata applies advanced security principles end-to-end: zero trust, least-privilege access, robust authentication. Continuously monitored, regularly tested.
Fully encrypted.
Your data is secured at every layer — encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit. Storage and network alike.
Why it matters
A hedge fund's edge is its identity. We treat it that way.
The longer Mercata runs at your firm, the more it knows about how your firm thinks. That's the value. It's also the responsibility. The architecture below the surface — zero trust, encryption everywhere, isolated environments, no cross-customer training — is what lets your firm's accumulated thinking compound without the firm's risk compounding too.
Your firm's accumulated thinking is the most defensible asset you have. Mercata is built to hold it, not to harvest it.
Compliance posture

The promise
Your edge stays yours. We give it somewhere to compound.
Built to hold what your firm knows, not to harvest it.
