hi @uwyang!

Thanks for your question and welcome to the Prodigy community

Prodigy is an on-premise, Python library. Prodigy runs entirely on your own hardware and never "phones home" or otherwise connects to our or other third-party servers. So if you're working with sensitive data, you can even run it on a completely air-gapped machine with no internet access to meet your compliance requirements (which is how many users working on health data for instance do it).

Here's a related question where someone asked about HIPAA and Ines' thoughts:

Possible to interface via another app?

Yeah, in general, this should be fine! (Of course, it'd probably be easier and less work to just use Prodigy's web-based UI if you can.) Btw, we have a lot of users who are working with sensitive data like electronic health records and are running Prodigy on an air-gapped machine (see Med7 for instance), so I'm pretty confident that you won't have any problems there. I don't know of any case where Prodigy didn't meet the compliance requirements and it's passed every security review – mainly bec…

We work with AWS stack if that makes a difference.

Prodigy is installed on the cloud as it would on-premise. I would suggest looking through the aws issues as it can give you a lot of ideas on how custom it and how others have worked with AWS.

Hope this helps!
