Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 7, 2026
Local Chat is provided by Nick Chaves. Questions about this policy can be sent to howdyn132@gmail.com.
How Local Chat works
Local Chat runs on a server you own. Your chats, files, memories and the AI models themselves stay on that server. We operate a small relay service at serverregister.link that lets your phone reach your server, and helps with sign-in and push notifications.
Google user data
This section applies if you connect Google Calendar.
What Local Chat accesses
- Your list of calendars.
- Events on your calendars, including their titles, times, locations, attendees and descriptions.
How it's used
Local Chat uses this data only to provide the calendar features you ask for: answering questions about your schedule, including events in scheduled tasks and your Daily Brief, and creating or changing events. It acts within the permission you choose for each action: off, ask every time, or always allow.
Where it's stored
The access granted by Google is stored encrypted on your own server, separately for each account on that server. Calendar details the assistant reads are processed by the AI model on your server. They can remain there in your chats, Daily Briefs and memories until you delete them or they reach the retention period you set.
What our relay handles
During sign-in, our relay receives the result from Google, encrypts it so that only your server can read it, and holds it in memory for a few minutes at most until your server collects it. When your server's access needs renewing, the relay passes the request to Google and returns the result. The relay does not write this access to disk or logs, and it does not read your calendar.
Sharing
We don't sell Google user data or use it for advertising, and it isn't used to train general AI models. Our relay doesn't receive your calendar contents in normal use. Push notifications are encrypted so that our relay and Apple can't read their contents.
Calendar details can leave your server in these cases:
- Other services you use: if a task involves another plugin you connected, the details it needs go to that service.
- Web search: the assistant can search the web while answering, and a search could include a calendar detail that's relevant to your question. Search engines don't receive your name or Google account with it.
- Support: our support staff can reach your server only during a support session you start, and could see data on it during that session. They use that access only to help with your request. Anything you include in a support ticket is stored with that ticket.
- Backups you download: a recovery backup of your server includes this data and is yours to keep safe.
Limited Use
Local Chat's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Disconnecting and deleting
You can disconnect Google Calendar in Local Chat's Plugins page, which deletes the stored access from your server. You can also remove access at any time from your Google Account. Chats and briefs can be deleted in the app, and a server owner can erase the server.
Other connected services
Other services you connect work the same way: access is stored encrypted on your server, and used only within the permissions you set.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date.
