Privacy Policy

SilicaAI runs natively on your macOS hardware. Our fundamental philosophy is that your personal data, prompts, voice recordings, and workflows belong to you. We do not want your data.

The Application

Core Workflows Are Local

When utilizing the core features of SilicaAI (standard chat, whisper speech-to-text, and local image generation), processing occurs entirely on your device. We do not transmit these inputs, resulting files, or inferences to any cloud server or telemetry aggregator.

Optional Cloud integrations

If you explicitly use beta web-search agents or third-party cloud model alternatives embedded optionally in the app settings, your data must pass over the internet to interact with those services.

The Website

Hosting, Analytics, and Telemetry

We use minimum necessary cookies required for website operation. If we choose to incorporate analytics, we utilize privacy-focused, cookie-free solutions (e.g. Plausible) that only log aggregate page view metrics.

Donations and Support Processing

When donating, transactions are routed via Stripe or GitHub Sponsors. We do not store payment card information directly. When using our Support forms, we only collect the email strings, device variables, and contextual data you voluntarily provide us to triage your issue. You have the right to request deletion of your support email data.
