Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 8, 2026

1. The Core Principle: Offline-First & Zero Collection

QualityOpen does not operate servers for the core app. We do not collect, store, or have access to research data, documents, codes, or transcripts.

2. What Data We DO NOT Collect

  • ✕Research Data: PDF, Word, text files.
  • ✕Analysis: Coding structures, memos, matrices.
  • ✕AI Inputs: With a cloud provider, sent directly from your computer to that provider via their API; with a local model (e.g., Ollama), they never leave your device. We do not intercept, store, or log either.

3. Optional Telemetry

Anonymous crash logs and usage statistics are collected only if you explicitly opt in. The default is OFF. Telemetry never contains document content or research data.

4. Third-Party Services

  • →AI Providers: You may use your own API key to send data directly to AI providers (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini) under their respective privacy terms. If you use a local model (e.g., Ollama), your data never leaves your device.
  • →Cloudflare: Used for website hosting only.

5. Open Source Verification

Because QualityOpen is open source, anyone can independently verify these claims by inspecting the source code at .
