Introduction

VritraAI ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use VritraAI, an AI-powered terminal shell application.

By using VritraAI, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our application.

Information We Collect

1. Local Configuration Data

VritraAI stores configuration data locally on your device, including:

  • API Keys: Your AI provider API keys (OpenRouter, Google Gemini) are stored locally in your configuration file at ~/.config-vritrasecz/vritraai/config.json
  • Preferences: Theme settings, prompt styles, and customization preferences
  • Session Data: Command history and session information stored locally

Important: All configuration data, including API keys, is stored exclusively on your local device. We do not transmit, collect, or have access to this information.

2. Usage Data

VritraAI operates entirely locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store:

  • Your commands or terminal activity
  • File contents or system information
  • Network traffic or browsing data
  • Personal identification information

3. AI Provider Interactions

When you use AI features in VritraAI:

  • Your prompts and commands are sent directly to your configured AI provider (OpenRouter or Google Gemini)
  • These interactions are subject to the privacy policies of the respective AI providers
  • We do not intercept, store, or have access to these communications
  • API keys are used only to authenticate with the AI provider services

How We Use Your Information

Since VritraAI operates locally and does not collect personal data:

  • All data processing occurs on your local device
  • Configuration and preferences are stored locally for application functionality
  • No data is transmitted to our servers or third parties (except AI providers when you use AI features)

Data Security

We take data security seriously:

  • Local Storage: All sensitive data (API keys, preferences) is stored in local configuration files with standard file system permissions
  • No Network Transmission: Configuration data is never transmitted over the network
  • API Key Protection: API keys are stored in plain text in local configuration files - you are responsible for securing these files
  • Best Practices: We recommend using appropriate file permissions and not sharing your configuration files
