Privacy Policy

Vox is designed as a local-first desktop application. All AI inference, voice transcription, file operations, and tool execution run entirely on your device. No conversation data, files, or voice recordings are transmitted to any server for processing.

This policy explains what data stays on your device, what limited data may be shared with third parties, and what controls you have.

• Conversation history, memory, and app state stored in a local SQLite database on your device.
• Local file indexing data and embeddings created from folders you choose to index.
• Model files (LLM, speech-to-text, wake word, embeddings) downloaded once and stored locally for offline inference.
• Voice recordings processed on-device by Whisper speech-to-text. Audio is never transmitted externally.
• Screen captures, email content, iMessage data, and file system operations are all processed locally through native operating system APIs.
• Scheduled tasks, skill configurations, and MCP server settings stored locally.

The Vox desktop application uses Sentry for error monitoring. When an unhandled error occurs, a sanitized error report may be sent to Sentry. These reports include error messages and stack traces but do not include conversation content, file contents, personal data, or voice recordings. File paths are sanitized before transmission.

Error monitoring can be disabled by setting the SENTRY_DISABLED environment variable. Error monitoring is automatically disabled in development builds.

The Vox website uses Google Analytics for standard website usage analytics. The website does not use Sentry or any error monitoring service.

After initial setup, the Vox desktop app can operate fully offline. The following network requests may occur:

• One-time download of the inference engine binary from GitHub on first launch.
• Model file downloads from HuggingFace when you select or change a model. These are cached locally after download.
• Application update checks via GitHub Releases (can be disabled).
• Sentry error reports when unhandled errors occur (can be disabled).
• Web page fetching when you explicitly ask Vox to retrieve a URL.
• MCP server connections or channel integrations you explicitly configure (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack).

No AI inference, voice processing, or tool execution ever requires a network connection.

The Vox website may collect standard web request data (for example IP address, user agent, timestamps, and page requests) for security, uptime, and abuse prevention.

When you use the download endpoint, requests are redirected to GitHub Releases. GitHub may process request data under GitHub's own privacy policy.

Vox may involve third parties in limited cases:

• GitHub for source hosting and binary release distribution.
• HuggingFace for hosting model files downloaded by the app.
• Sentry for error monitoring in the desktop app.
• Google Analytics for website usage analytics.
• MCP servers or external tools you explicitly configure in the app.
• Channel platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack) if you configure those integrations.

If you connect third-party tools, any data sent to those tools is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

• Uninstall Vox and remove local app data at any time.
• Remove indexed folders and reset local indexes from the app.
• Disconnect any external tools or MCP integrations you enabled.
• Disable error monitoring by setting the SENTRY_DISABLED environment variable.
• Operate fully offline after initial model download by disconnecting from the internet.
• Contact us to request correction or deletion of website-contact data.

We apply reasonable safeguards for website operations and release distribution. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Local app data remains on your device until you delete app data, reset relevant features, or uninstall the app. You own and control all locally stored data.
