Your Privacy Matters

AIDesk is a Windows desktop application designed to provide AI chat capabilities through both local models and cloud AI services. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to transparency about how your data is handled.

Desktop Application Privacy

AIDesk runs locally on your Windows machine. Your conversations, settings, and preferences are stored on your device, not on our servers.

All application data is stored locally on your computer

Telemetry and usage tracking are performed only with your consent (opt-in).

You maintain full control over your data

Local Mode vs Cloud Mode

Local Mode

When using Local Mode, all AI processing happens on your machine. Your prompts and responses never leave your computer. This provides maximum privacy and works completely offline.

Cloud Mode

When using Cloud Mode (Google Gemini or other cloud AI providers), your prompts are sent to the respective cloud service for processing. These services are governed by their own privacy policies:
