Privacy Policy

NeuroTerm is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your development work, terminal sessions, and documents are yours alone.

This policy explains what data we collect (almost none) and how we handle the minimal data required for license validation.

NeuroTerm operates locally by default. We do not collect:

• Terminal session content or commands
• Uploaded documents or datasheets
• AI queries or responses
• Connection profiles or credentials
• Usage analytics or telemetry
• Crash reports (unless you choose to send them)

By default, all AI features run locally on your device:

• LLM inference happens on your CPU/GPU
• RAG embeddings are generated and stored locally
• Document processing never leaves your machine
• No data is sent externally unless you enable cloud AI (see below)

NeuroTerm optionally supports cloud AI via OpenRouter. This feature is:

• Disabled by default — you must explicitly enable it in Settings
• Opt-in per use — only your AI prompts are sent, not terminal session data
• API key secured — stored in your OS keychain, not on disk
• Transparent — a visible indicator shows when cloud AI is active

When cloud AI is enabled, your AI prompts and context are sent to the selected cloud provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) via OpenRouter. Terminal session data, documents, and RAG embeddings always remain local.

The Pro edition makes minimal network requests for license validation:

• License key verification on activation
• Periodic validation checks (configurable)

This data is processed by our payment provider (LemonSqueezy) and includes only your license key. No usage data or personal information is transmitted.

NeuroTerm can optionally check for updates. This feature:

• Can be disabled in settings
• Only sends your current version number
• Does not transmit any usage or personal data
