Privacy at a glance
Data LocalAI handles
LocalAI handles the prompts you enter, responses generated by the selected model, per-model chat history, the selected model, and model preparation status. This information is used only to provide the app's local features.
Third-party model downloads
When you choose to prepare a model, LocalAI connects to the model repository identified in the app and downloads model files and metadata. The repository provider may receive standard network information such as your IP address and request details under its own privacy policy. Chat prompts and generated responses are not sent as part of model downloads.
Local storage and processing
Chat history and model state are stored in the app's private Application Support directory. After a compatible model is available, prompts and responses are processed on your device. ApplyAI has no backend that receives this content.
No collection, advertising, or sale
ApplyAI does not receive, sell, rent, or trade your prompts, responses, chat history, identifiers, or usage activity. LocalAI contains no advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking SDK.
System permissions
LocalAI does not request access to contacts, camera, microphone, location, photos, health information, or notifications. Model files and conversations remain inside the app's sandbox.
Diagnostics and support
LocalAI includes no third-party diagnostic SDK. If you contact support, you choose what screenshots or technical details to share, and we use them only to answer your request.
Security and deletion
LocalAI data is protected by the iOS and iPadOS app sandbox and your device security. You can clear a model's conversation in the app. Uninstalling removes local app data according to normal operating-system behavior.
Children's privacy
LocalAI is a general productivity and developer utility and is not directed to children. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else.
Changes to this policy
If LocalAI's data practices change, we will update this page and its date before the revised practices apply. Material changes will also be described in the App Store release information.
