Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

At LiberQio, we believe that your thoughts, drafts, and creative work are private by default. Our architecture is designed to prioritize your privacy and data sovereignty.

1. Local-First Philosophy

LiberQio is built as a local-first application. This means:

• No Cloud Storage: We do not store your keystrokes, voice inputs, or screen content on our servers.
• Local Processing: Features like smart history, text buffering, and snippet management occur entirely on your device's filesystem.
• Offline Capability: The core functionality of LiberQio allows you to work without an internet connection.

2. AI Model Privacy

We provide flexibility in how you use AI:

• Local Models (Recommended): When using local models (e.g., via Ollama or NVIDIA local runtime), your data stays on your machine. Absolutely zero content leaves your local network.
• API Providers: If you choose to configure external API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), data is sent directly from your device to those providers. LiberQio does not act as a middleman and does not log these requests.

3. Permissions & Usage

LiberQio requires specific macOS permissions to function:

• Accessibility: Needed to detect the text field under your cursor and to insert text. We only access text when you explicitly trigger an action.
• Screen Recording: Required only for the "Vision" features (e.g., "Explain this window"). Screenshots are taken only on-demand, processed locally or via your chosen API, and then immediately discarded. They are not saved to disk unless you explicitly save them.
• Microphone: Accessed only when you activate Voice Dictation mode. Audio is processed for transcription and not stored permanently.

4. Data Collection

We collect no personal data. We do not track your usage habits, and we have no analytics SDKs installed in the application.
