At big-AGI, we believe in transparency, privacy, and the power of open-source solutions. Our application stores data locally in your browser's "localStorage" and "IndexedDB" and, in some cases, on our servers. We strive to give you as much control as possible over your personal information, subject to the limitations outlined in this privacy policy.
For those who prefer even more freedom, big-AGI can be fully self-hosted, bypassing us entirely.
We also offer a free, "hosted" instance of big-AGI for demo purposes. To use this instance, users must provide their own API keys for certain functionalities. Rest assured, we do not collect or store these API keys. We also do not store any user conversations on our servers unless shared by the user via the "Sharing" function.
We have updated our privacy policy on April 26, 2024, to reflect recent changes in our application. These updates include the introduction of server-side storage and a "Sharing" function, alongside the expanded use of analytics tools such as Google Analytics and PostHog on this website, to enhance big-AGI and provide a more insightful and faster experience for our users.
This privacy policy will inform you about how we handle your personal data, your privacy rights, within the context of our hosted instance and website.
We use Google Analytics, PostHog, and Vercel Analytics to collect information about visitor behavior on our website. These analytics services help us measure and understand how visitors interact with our site, allowing us to make improvements. The data collected is processed in a way that does not directly identify anyone.
Google Analytics helps us understand how users interact with big-AGI, including which features are most used and how the application performs on different devices. It collects anonymous data, focusing on trends and usage patterns. Google processes and stores the data in compliance with their privacy policies, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy, and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
PostHog is an analytics service that helps us understand how big-AGI is used and allows us to improve user experience. It collects data on user interactions, including anonymized session recordings, to identify usage patterns and optimize features. PostHog stores the data on their servers and complies with privacy laws. For more information, see PostHog's privacy policy at https://posthog.com/privacy.
Vercel Analytics provides us with aggregate data on website usage, such as top pages, referral sources, and user demographics. The data is collected anonymously and helps us optimize website performance and user experience. Vercel stores the data securely and handles it in accordance with their privacy policy, available at https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
