LocaLMind Zero Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

LocaLMind Zero is built on a foundation of absolute privacy. Unlike traditional AI chat applications that process your conversations on remote servers, LocaLMind Zero runs entirely on your device. This means your conversations, questions, and AI interactions never leave your phone.

What Makes Us Different

Zero Cloud Processing

  • All AI inference happens locally on your device
  • Your conversations are never transmitted to any server
  • No account creation or login required
  • Works completely offline once models are downloaded

Information Collection and Use

What We DON'T Collect

LocaLMind Zero does not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your chat conversations or messages
  • Personal information or user profiles
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Device identifiers or tracking information
  • Location data
  • Contact information

Minimal Data for Model Downloads

When you download AI models through the app, the following minimal information is transmitted:

  • Model Download Requests: When downloading a model, your device makes a standard HTTPS request to our CDN (Content Delivery Network) to retrieve the model file
  • Standard Web Logs: Our CDN provider may log standard web request information (IP address, timestamp, requested file) for security and bandwidth management
  • No User Tracking: These requests are not linked to any user identity or profile

Data Storage

On-Device Storage Only

All app data is stored locally on your device:

  • Downloaded Models: AI model files are stored in your device's app storage
  • Chat History: Conversation history is saved locally in a SQLite database on your device
  • Settings: App preferences and settings are stored locally
  • Private Mode: When using private chat mode, conversations are not saved at all

Data Deletion

You have complete control over your data:

  • Delete individual chat sessions at any time
  • Clear all chat history through app settings
  • Remove downloaded models to free up space
  • Uninstalling the app completely removes all data

Android-Specific Features

Quick Chat Service

The Android version includes an optional Quick Chat floating bubble feature that:

  • Runs as a local foreground service on your device
  • Does not collect or transmit any data
  • Can be disabled at any time in settings
  • Automatically stops after 30 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery

Permissions

Required Permissions

  • Internet: Only for downloading AI models from our CDN
  • Storage: To save downloaded models and chat history locally
  • Network State: To check connectivity before model downloads

Optional Permissions (Android)

  • Foreground Service: For Quick Chat floating bubble feature
  • System Alert Window: To display the Quick Chat bubble
  • Boot Completed: To restart Quick Chat on device reboot (if enabled)
  • Notifications: To show Quick Chat service status

Note on Future Features

Audio permissions (microphone) for speech-to-text features are currently disabled and not requested. If enabled in future updates, they will be optional and clearly explained.

Third-Party Services

Content Delivery Network (CDN)

We use Cloudflare as our CDN provider solely for hosting and delivering AI model files. Cloudflare may collect standard web logs as described in their privacy policy, but this data is not accessible to us for user tracking purposes.

No Analytics or Tracking

LocaLMind Zero does not include:

  • Google Analytics or any analytics SDK
  • Facebook SDK or social media integrations
  • Crash reporting services
  • Advertising networks or ad identifiers
  • User behavior tracking tools

Security

Your data security is ensured through:

  • Local Processing: All AI inference happens on-device, eliminating transmission risks
  • No Cloud Storage: Your data never leaves your device
  • Encrypted Downloads: Model files are downloaded over HTTPS
  • App Sandboxing: Standard OS-level app isolation protects your data

Children's Privacy

LocaLMind Zero does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we don't collect user data, there is no risk of children's information being processed.

International Users

Since LocaLMind Zero processes all data locally on your device and doesn't transmit information to servers, there are no international data transfer concerns. Your data stays in the jurisdiction where your device is located.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the app and on this page with an updated revision date. Since we don't collect user contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes.

Open Source Commitment

We believe in transparency. While the app source code is currently private, we use open-source AI models and clearly attribute them in the app. Model licenses and attributions are available in the app's model catalog.

  • Data Ownership: All your data remains on your device under your control
  • Data Portability: Export your chat history at any time (feature coming soon)
  • Data Deletion: Delete any or all data instantly through the app
  • No Profiling: We cannot profile you since we don't collect data
  • No Targeting: No ads or targeted content since we don't track users

Privacy by Design

LocaLMind Zero is architected from the ground up to protect your privacy. By running AI models directly on your device, we've eliminated the privacy risks associated with cloud-based AI services. Your thoughts, questions, and conversations remain yours alone.

Thank you for trusting LocaLMind Zero with your private AI conversations.
