Privacy Policy
Quietly was explicitly built to respect your privacy. Here is exactly what we do (and don't) collect.
Our software runs entirely locally on your machine. We do not collect, monitor, transmit, or store any of your code, prompts, chat history, or personal files. It never touches the cloud.
1. Data collected by the Application (Quietly CLI/GUI)
None. The Quietly application is designed to function offline once set up. All language models are downloaded directly to your local file system from HuggingFace (or loaded manually by you), and all inference is performed on your hardware. We do not incorporate analytics, tracking, or telemetry into our desktop applications.
2. Data collected on this Website
When you browse quietlycode.org, our hosting provider may collect standard connection information (such as your IP address and user agent) purely for server logging and abuse prevention.
3. Purchase Information
When you purchase a license, you provide your email address, name, and payment information through our secure payment processor. We do not process or store your raw credit card numbers.
Upon successful payment, we receive your order information including your email and the generated license key so we can provide you access to the software.
4. License Verification
When you enter your license key on our download page, that key is verified securely. Once verified, the download links are unlocked. The application itself does not require an ongoing internet connection to "phone home" or verify the license continuously.
5. Contacting Us
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us at info@intellibud.org.
