GoodKey Terms of Use

Effective Date: 14 of March 2025

Introduction and Definitions

GoodKey provides a SaaS platform that enables secure management of cryptographic keys, authentication of digital assets, encryption, and team-based collaboration on key management. By accessing or using the service, you agree to these Terms of Use. For purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:

  • Credentials:

    Login and authentication data provided by you.
  • Cryptographic Keys:

    Digital keys used for encryption and decryption.
  • Token Metadata:

    Information about your tokens including serial numbers, make/model, usage frequency, and lifecycle status.
  • Team:

    A group within your organization designated to collectively manage keys and certificates using GoodKey.
  • Team Member:

    An individual authorized to access and use GoodKey as part of a team.
  • Third-Party Services:

    External services (e.g., GitHub, Google Workspace) that integrate with or support GoodKey.

Description of the Service

GoodKey offers a SaaS platform that includes key and certificate management, token metadata tracking, automated signing (including CI/CD integrations), and logs/analytics collection to monitor and optimize performance. The service supports both individual and team-based management, allowing organizations to set up teams and assign team members with appropriate access levels. In providing this service, you acknowledge that GoodKey may have access to your credentials and, in some cases, your cryptographic keys.

Security Measures

  • Key Storage:

    Where technically possible, keys are stored using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that meet FIPS 140-3 standards. Where this is not technically possible, keys are stored in our Key Management System (KMS), which is isolated, encrypted, and access-controlled.
  • Attestations:

    Attestations are available to enable you to verify how keys are stored.
  • Best Practices:

    We follow industry best practices—including least privilege access, service isolation, and tenant isolation—to safeguard your data.

User Responsibilities

  • Account Security:

    You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and all activities conducted under your account.
  • Team Administration:

    If you set up teams, you are responsible for managing team member access and ensuring that all team members follow secure practices.
  • Secure Integrations:

    You must ensure that any integrations or configurations within your systems are performed securely.
  • Backup and Recovery:

    While GoodKey employs robust security measures, you are responsible for maintaining secure backups and key recovery procedures.
  • Lawful Use:

    You agree to use the service in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Termination and Data Retrieval

  • Termination:

    Either party may terminate the service in accordance with the termination provisions detailed on our website.

No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

  • Disclaimer of Warranties:

    The GoodKey service is provided “as is” without any warranties, express or implied.
