Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2025

TL;DR

  • Only your prompts are sent to our enhancement service - never your actual code
  • No tracking or analytics - we don't collect usage data or telemetry
  • Open source - you can verify everything we say by reading the code
  • Self-hosting option - run ClarityAI on your own infrastructure

What Data We Collect

Prompt Text Only

When you use the @clarity command, ClarityAI processes your prompt to enhance it for better code suggestions.

What IS sent:

  • • Your original prompt text
  • • Project context metadata (framework names, file structure patterns)

What is NOT sent:

  • • Your source code
  • • File contents
  • • Environment variables or secrets
  • • Personal information from your system

No Telemetry or Tracking

ClarityAI does not include any analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking. We don't know:

  • • How many times you use the extension
  • • What projects you're working on
  • • Your identity or VS Code setup
  • • Any other usage patterns

How We Use Your Data

Prompt Enhancement

ClarityAI analyzes and enhances your prompts locally within VS Code. The enhanced prompt is returned to your editor immediately. We do not store, log, or retain your prompts.

Privacy First

ClarityAI processes everything locally. Your code and prompts never leave your machine. We prioritize your privacy and security above all else.

Data Storage

We do not store your data. ClarityAI is a pass-through service that sends your prompt to Google's API and returns the enhanced version.

  • • No database to store prompts
  • • No server-side logging
  • • No long-term data retention
  • • Prompts are processed in real-time and discarded

Your Rights & Control

No External Dependencies

ClarityAI runs entirely within VS Code with no external API calls or third-party services. Your data stays on your machine, giving you complete control and privacy.

Open Source & Transparent

ClarityAI is fully open source. You can:

  • • Review the entire source code
  • • Fork the repository and modify it
  • • Build your own version
  • • Contribute improvements
View on GitHub

Uninstall Anytime

Simply uninstall the extension from VS Code. Since we don't store any data, there's nothing to delete from our end.

Security

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all API communications
  • No server-side storage means no data breach risk
  • Open source code allows security audits by anyone
  • Local processing - all data stays on your machine

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Since the extension is open source, you can review changes in the GitHub repository.

Transparency is Our Priority

ClarityAI is built on the principles of openness and user control. Every line of code is auditable, and you maintain complete ownership of your data.
