Claudia Privacy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 2, 2026 · Last Updated: March 2, 2026

TL;DR: Claudia runs entirely on your computer. Your data never leaves your machine. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking. You can verify this yourself by reading the source code.

Data Storage

All data created by Claudia is stored locally on your computer:

DataLocationPurposeMemory database~/.claudia/memory/Memories, entities, relationshipsOAuth tokens~/.claudia/tokens/Google API access tokensConfiguration~/.claudia/config.jsonPreferences and settingsVault (optional)~/.claudia/vault/Obsidian-compatible markdown

No data is transmitted to the developer, to any server, or to any third party.

Google API Access

When you connect Gmail or Google Calendar via claudia google login:

What happens: Your browser opens to Google’s sign-in page. You grant access. OAuth tokens are saved locally.
What Claudia accesses: Only the data you explicitly request through CLI commands.

What Claudia does NOT do:

Store your Google data on any remote server
Share your data with anyone
Send analytics or telemetry
Access data beyond what you request
Run background syncs or polling

Google API Services User Data Policy

Claudia’s use of Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements:

Limited use: Google data is used only to provide the features you invoke.
No transfer: Google data is not transferred to third parties.
No advertising: Google data is never used for advertising.
No unauthorized access: Stored only on your local machine.

Revoking Access

You can revoke Claudia’s access at any time:

Run claudia google logout to remove local tokens
Visit Google Account Permissions to revoke the app

Ollama / AI Model Usage

Claudia uses Ollama (running locally) for text embeddings. All AI processing happens on your computer. No text is sent to external AI services by Claudia.

If you use Claudia within Claude Code, your conversations are subject to Anthropic’s privacy policy. Claudia’s memory system is separate and local.

Data Collection

Claudia collects zero data: no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reports, no usage statistics, no cookies, no tracking of any kind.

Children’s Privacy

Claudia does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Since Claudia collects no data from anyone, this is inherently satisfied.

Open Source

Claudia is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can inspect every line of code:

Repository: github.com/kbanc85/claudia
OAuth implementation: cli/core/google-oauth.js
Token storage: ~/.claudia/tokens/

Disclaimer

Claudia is provided “as-is” without warranty of any kind. The developer assumes no liability for data loss, security incidents, or any other damages arising from use.

Changes to This Policy

Updates will be posted in the GitHub repository. Since Claudia has no server and collects no data, there is nothing to notify you about retroactively.
