Are they uncomfortable with you accessing their data, or are they uncomfortable with you storing their data unencrypted, risking their IP in case of a breach? Two different things.

The former means they aren't a fit for SaaS (i.e. offer self-hosting), and the latter means you can use at-work encryption, only decrypting the data to process it.

Without more info on what you're actually building, I can't really be of more help here.

It's the latter. It's pretty much an agent for their GitHub repo. The agent needs access to their code and keeps some kind of knowledge that it generated in a tree database. Wouldn't it be considered a red flag that I can access their data whenever I want? If I used at-work encryption that just means that I have the ability to access to data whenever I want. However if they did some sort of self-hosting then I can only access it temporarily via APIs and thus I can only access the data temporarily when &they want.
