Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
Local-first by default
Zeno is designed so that all data stays on your machine by default. Chat history is stored locally in SQLite at~/.jarvis/history.db, and audit logs are written to~/.jarvis/logs/. Nothing is uploaded to Zeno or any third party as part of normal use.
No telemetry
Zeno collects zero analytics or tracking data. There is no telemetry pipeline built into the desktop app.
Encryption
Chat history can optionally be encrypted at rest using a password-derived key (PBKDF2 + AES-256-GCM). You control whether encryption is enabled.
Model providers
Zeno talks to a local Ollama instance running on your machine. If you choose to enable optional cloud-connected features or third-party integrations, their own privacy practices apply — review them before enabling anything.
Your responsibilities
As with any local-first tool, you are responsible for securing your encryption password, reviewing any third-party plugin code before installing it, and complying with the license terms of Ollama and any models you choose to run.
