# ITAR/EAR

**VioletGov** is fully EAR/ITAR-compliant. It is hosted in an AWS GovCloud (US) partition, and all customer data is stored exclusively within GovCloud services. This ensures that all data meets residency storage and processing requirements for government workloads.

VioletGov accesses data from your team’s Gov software applications over SSL/TLS, guaranteeing data encryption in transit. All stored data (including databases, files, caches, and application logs) is 256-bit AES encrypted at rest.

ITAR-sensitive customer data is only accessible to Violet Labs employees who are US Persons and who have received ITAR/EAR training. ITAR-sensitive customer data that needs to be accessed outside of the GovCloud-hosted Violet platform is never downloaded or stored.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.violetlabs.com/resources/security-and-compliance/itar-ear.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
