# Meet the Team

## About Passy

A personal note from the Passy team.

We're building a better way to access AI models one that's transparent, EU-first, and developer-focused. No surprise bills, no vendor lock-in, just reliable AI infrastructure that works.

## Our Story

Passy was born from frustration with the current state of AI model access. As developers ourselves, we experienced:

* **Unpredictable costs** that made budgeting impossible
* **Vendor lock-in** that limited our choices
* **Complex integrations** that wasted valuable development time
* **Privacy concerns** with data leaving the EU
* **Unreliable service** during critical moments

We knew there had to be a better way.

## Our Mission

**Make AI accessible, predictable, and privacy-first for European developers.**

We believe that:

* ✅ **Pricing should be predictable** - No surprise token bills or shifting limits
* ✅ **Privacy matters** - Your data stays in the EU, and we never train on it
* ✅ **Developers deserve choice** - Access multiple providers through one API
* ✅ **Simplicity wins** - Integration should take minutes, not days
* ✅ **Compliance is essential** - ISO27001, NEN7510, and GDPR from day one

## How We're Different

We're not just another AI API gateway. We're building infrastructure that puts developers first:

### 🔒 Privacy-First Architecture

* **EU-hosted infrastructure** on ISO27001 & NEN7510 certified servers
* **No prompt storage** - We don't keep your API requests or responses
* **No training on your data** - Your code and prompts remain private
* **GDPR compliant** - Full data sovereignty and user rights

### 💰 Predictable Pricing

* **Flat per-developer pricing** - No token counting, no surprise bills
* **Unlimited usage** - Fair usage limits based on your plan
* **No hidden fees** - What you see is what you pay
* **Cancel anytime** - No long-term contracts required

### ⚡ Developer Experience

* **Drop-in compatibility** - Works with Cursor, Kilo Code, and other tools
* **OpenAI & Anthropic APIs** - Use familiar interfaces
* **Fast EU routing** - Low latency from European data centers
* **One API key** - Access all models through a single endpoint

### 🌍 European Values

* **Data sovereignty** - All data processed in the EU
* **Transparent operations** - Clear pricing, clear policies
* **Sustainable infrastructure** - Efficient, green hosting
* **Local support** - European team, European timezone

1. **Never train on your data** - Your prompts and responses are private
2. **Keep data in the EU** - No transfers outside European jurisdiction
3. **Transparent pricing** - No hidden fees or surprise charges
4. **Fast support** - Response within 24 hours, usually much faster
5. **Continuous improvement** - New models added within 24 hours of release
6. **Open communication** - Status updates, roadmap transparency
