Latest developments

9 November 2026Claude Code stores approved commands containing passwords in settings.local.json

If you choose "Yes, and don't ask again" in Claude Code, the tool saves the command verbatim in .claude/settings.local.json, including passwords or API keys. Apiiro found real secrets in 1,122 of 104,185 public copies on GitHub, including 379 database passwords. Keep the file out of git, use variables for secrets, and replace any keys that have already leaked. source

5 November 2026Flaw in Lockdown Mode patched

Via pop-up windows in the HTML preview of code blocks, an attacker could bypass Lockdown Mode and siphon off your chat history, via a manipulated prompt, GPT or shared chat. OpenAI patched the flaw on 18 September 2026; Check Point published the details on 5 November. Users do not need to do anything. source

November 2 2026Message threads (beta) fall outside Zero Data Retention

With message threads in the Claude API, Anthropic stores the conversation, the system prompt and the tools on the server, encrypted in memory and not on disk, until up to one hour after the last use. The feature does not qualify for Zero Data Retention; your other ZDR agreements still apply. If you work with personal data under ZDR, only enable threads if your DPIA covers it. source

Questions

How safe is Framer for graphic design & design?
Framer has a good GDPR profile. Usable in graphic design & design, provided you use the business version and follow the points of attention below. Good safeguards, but not on every point.
Does Framer train on my data?
you choose a model per task from OpenAI (GPT) or Anthropic (Claude) (according to the provider). Hosting with AWS in the US, with additional infrastructure in Europe and Asia-Pacific; ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2; data processing agreement under the GDPR. Customer personal data is not used to train general third-party AI models (according to the provider). Dutch company.
What should I watch out for with AI in graphic design & design?
With AI imagery, pay attention to two things: rights and data. Rights: with Recraft, images from the free plan of Recraft itself are not for commercial use, and only paid plans give you full ownership. Adobe says it trains Firefly models on licensed material and public domain content, not on user content. Data: with Kittl, training on your content is switched on by default in the Starter and Professional plans (the administrator can turn it off), while in Organization and Enterprise it is off. CELUM (Berlin) states in the privacy statement that data is also processed outside Europe, including in Canada and the US. If you want to keep your brand files in the EU: Frontify offers hosting in Frankfurt, Bynder on AWS Frankfurt and Figma on Azure in the EU. Penpot can be self-hosted. Do not upload client material under NDA to a free account, and record in your quote whether and how you use AI.
