Trust & Verification

Clear answers on intellectual property, data handling, and technical governance before you sign.

You own 100% of the code, designs, and architectural artifacts we create for you.
Ownership assignment
By default, all intellectual property rights transfer to your company on payment. Herond Labs retains no claims, proprietary locks, or ongoing royalties. Exact terms are set in the engagement contract.
No dual licensing
We build custom software directly in your repositories or transfer them cleanly. We never re-license your custom business logic to third parties.
Shared team, client priority
The engineers who build and operate Herond Browser and Herond Wallet also work on client projects, from one shared pool. Client sprint commitments take priority over internal product releases. Environments and infrastructure remain strictly separate.
We protect confidentiality from the very first conversation.
Mutual or client standard
We readily review and sign your corporate mutual NDA before receiving proprietary roadmaps, codebase access, or data.
Submission channel
Send your draft agreement directly to legal@herondlabs.com.
We operate under strict principle of least privilege across all client data.
Data residency
Production customer data stays in the environments you control. Developer workstations work against anonymized or synthetic data.
Synthetic testing
We mandate anonymized or synthetic test datasets for local development, QA environments, and CI/CD pipelines.
Full visibility during the project, zero dependency after handover.
Repository ownership
We commit directly to your GitHub, GitLab, or cloud organization so you retain continuous visibility over every pull request.
Access offboarding
Upon final acceptance, we document all active secrets, rotate administrative credentials, and submit access revocation checklists.
Verifiable technical practices embedded into our daily development lifecycle.
Peer code review
Code is peer-reviewed before it merges to a staging or production branch. No engineer merges their own work.
Workstation controls
Developer laptops run full-disk encryption, and multi-factor authentication is required on every account that touches client infrastructure.
Direct escalation channels for compliance officers and security teams.
