Create Self-Hosted Account

​

Managed vs Self-Hosted Accounts

Nuggets offers two types of account setups: Managed Accounts and Self-Hosted Accounts.

​

Self-Hosted Accounts

Self-Hosted accounts represent the gold standard in privacy and security. However, this level of protection comes with increased integration complexity.

With a Self-Hosted setup, your application communicates directly with the user’s environment. All data is end-to-end encrypted, and Nuggets never has access to raw user data at any point.

​

Managed Accounts

Many of the technologies behind Nuggets are cutting-edge and unique to our platform. To simplify adoption, we offer Managed Accounts, which abstract away most of the technical complexity.

In a Managed setup:

• The Nuggets Platform runs the provider service on your behalf.
• This service processes user data and returns it to your application via OIDC.

To ensure privacy and security, we take the following precautions:

• The provider service operates in a Confidential Compute environment, so even Nuggets cannot access the data being processed.
• No user data is logged or stored — only minimal, essential information is retained for monitoring and performance.
• Encryption keys are protected using Hardware Security Modules(HSM).

Which Should You Choose?

If your application requires maximum control and end-to-end privacy, a Self-Hosted account may be the best fit.
