Built for regulated rollouts
Give security, procurement, and legal teams a cleaner answer when they ask where customer and referral data will live.
Enterprise data hosting
Host your referral data in your own environment.
Built for banks, financial services teams, and enterprise companies with strict data residency, procurement, and compliance requirements. Run Referral Factory while keeping sensitive user data on-premise or in your approved cloud.

Run on-prem or in your cloud
Keep sensitive user data out of Referral Factory systems
Enterprise architecture
Software from us. Sensitive data with you.
Referral Factory app
Campaigns, portals, links, rewards
Secure API layer
Approved routes only
Docker service
Installed by your team
Your data store
Sensitive records stay with you
Referral Factory can operate the referral program experience without direct access to the sensitive data your compliance team wants to keep inside your environment.
Your infrastructure stays in control
Host the sensitive data layer inside your approved environment, whether that means your own data center or private cloud.
Referral Factory cannot access sensitive records
Your customer, referrer, lead, and conversion data stays with you, so our team cannot view, edit, delete, or export it.
Data ownership
A cleaner model for security review.
Your compliance team does not have to choose between using referral software and keeping sensitive data inside approved infrastructure. This model separates the referral program experience from the sensitive data layer.
Sensitive customer records
Your environment
Customer, referrer, lead, and conversion-level records stay in infrastructure your team controls.
Referral program experience
Referral Factory
Campaign builder, branded pages, sharing tools, tracking logic, analytics views, and reward workflows still work in the platform.
Data access and deletion
Your team
Referral Factory cannot directly see, edit, delete, or export sensitive user data stored in your self-hosted data layer.
Deployment location
Your IT policy
Run the Docker service on-prem, in a private cloud, or in the region your compliance team requires.
Deployment
Docker-based, scoped with your IT team.
The heavy technical work is kept behind a straightforward enterprise implementation process. We help your team document the boundary, install the self-hosted service, connect it, and test the referral flow.
Step 1
Scope the data boundary
We agree what data must stay in your environment, what Referral Factory needs to operate the program, and how the two systems communicate.
Step 2
Install the Docker service
Your technical team deploys the self-hosted data service in the approved environment using Docker and the implementation guide.
Step 3
Connect Referral Factory
The hosted application talks to your self-hosted service through approved API routes, without giving Referral Factory direct database access.
Step 4
Launch with enterprise support
We help your team test the flow, validate tracking, and document the setup for security review and internal handover.
Enterprise fit
Made for the buyers who ask the hardest data questions.
Our largest enterprise customers include banks in EMEA, where vendor approval, regional hosting, auditability, and data access controls matter before a referral program can launch.
Banking and financial services
Insurance and regulated industries
EMEA data residency reviews
Procurement-led enterprise rollouts
FAQ
Questions enterprise teams ask before self-hosting.
These are the questions enterprise, compliance, and IT teams usually need answered before deciding whether self-hosted referral data is the right deployment model.
What does host your own data mean in Referral Factory?+
It is an enterprise deployment option where the sensitive referral data layer runs in your own environment. Referral Factory still gives your team the platform, builder, tracking, promotion, and reward workflows, but sensitive user data can remain in infrastructure you control.
Can Referral Factory access our sensitive customer data?+
No. In this model, sensitive records are hosted by you. Referral Factory cannot view, edit, delete, or export the customer, referrer, lead, and conversion records stored in your self-hosted environment.
Can we host it on-premise or in our own cloud?+
Yes. The self-hosted data service runs with Docker, so enterprise teams can deploy it on-premise or in an approved cloud environment, depending on internal policy and compliance requirements.
Who is this feature for?+
It is built for enterprise customers with heavy compliance needs, especially regulated teams such as banks, financial services businesses, insurance companies, and EMEA organizations with strict data residency or procurement requirements.
Is this available on every plan?+
No. Host your own data is an enterprise solution and must be scoped with our team. Book a demo so we can understand your security requirements, infrastructure preference, and launch timeline.
