Customer FAQs

Q: What benefits will I experience as a Kiya.ai customer after this integration?

A: Customers will benefit from faster delivery of new features, more stable and secure services, and an enhanced user experience across digital and metaverse banking platforms.

Q: How will this integration impact the user experience or interface of Kiya.ai’s platform?

A: While the frontend experience remains intuitive, the backend enhancements improve performance, reliability, and security—leading to a smoother and more responsive user interface.

Q: How is my data kept secure during metaverse interactions?

A: Kiyaverse employs a multi-layered security model to ensure your data remains confidential, integral, and available at all times. Data transmitted between your device and AWS services is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher, safeguarding against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. Once data reaches AWS, it is encrypted at rest by default using AWS Key Management Service (KMS) with FIPS 140-3 validated hardware security modules, and strict key policies enforce granular access control.

Q: Would my financial data get exposed to Amazon Q?

A: No. When you use Amazon Q Developer Pro, your financial data and code remain private and are not used to train AWS’s underlying models, nor shared with other customers. All content is processed in-memory within AWS’s secure infrastructure and encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AWS KMS-managed keys), ensuring complete isolation. For Pro Tier users, AWS explicitly does not use your content for service improvement or model training.
