Privacy
Aegis AI runs locally. This page explains what that means for your data.
Local Processing
- AI inference runs on your machine. Camera frames are sent to the local VLM (or your chosen cloud provider) and never stored on external servers.
- Chat conversations are stored locally in the user data directory.
- Agent memory is stored as local files on your disk.
- Recorded clips are saved to your configured storage path.
Cloud Providers
If you choose a cloud LLM or VLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google), frames and text are sent to that provider's API. This is the only case where data leaves your machine. To avoid this, use a built-in local model.
Blind Mode
Blind Mode hides all camera feeds in the Monitor view. See Privacy Settings for details.
Crash Reporting
Optional. When enabled, anonymous crash data (stack traces, not footage) is sent to help diagnose issues. Toggle in Privacy Settings.
