Merge, a unified API platform, prioritizes data security and has invested heavily in its infrastructure, encryption, and compliance frameworks, achieving GDPR compliance before onboarding its first customer. The company has introduced Destinations, a new offering that allows customers to store data directly in their own environment instead of Merge's server, providing enterprise-grade security and compliance, control over data hosting and access, and faster access to integration data. Destinations is designed for companies with strict data and compliance requirements and is currently available in closed beta for those on the professional or enterprise plan, supporting file storage category and Postgres as a data storage option, with plans to expand support to additional platforms in the future. By providing this capability, Merge aims to support the strictest data security requirements of enterprise companies, making it the first and only unified API platform to do so.
