Telemetry

Private and Anonymous

As a privacy-focused application that emphasizes local AI and secure data handling, we understand the importance of transparency when it comes to data collection. Our telemetry system is designed with the following principles:

• Anonymous by Design: No personally identifiable information is collected
• Minimal Data Collection: Only essential usage metrics are gathered
• Full Transparency: Complete source code is available for review
• User Control: Easily disable telemetry if desired
