Praxia — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-17 · Version 1.0

Praxia is a local-first AI workspace. The desktop application stores your documents, conversations, and workspace files on your own machine and never uploads them to our servers. We do not operate a backend that holds your content.

One important caveat: Praxia routes your prompts and selected document context to the LLM provider you configure (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, Ollama, etc.). That third-party request is governed by that provider's privacy policy, not ours. Picking a local model (Ollama) keeps the entire request on your machine.

1. What Praxia Desktop stores on your machine

Praxia Desktop creates a workspace folder on your computer (default: %APPDATA%\Praxia\) and stores:

Your chat threads and message history
Indexed text snippets of the Documents folders you registered
Vector embeddings of those snippets (for retrieval)
Scheduled tasks, batch results, and saved workspace files
Your API keys for the LLM providers you configured, in OS-level secure storage (Windows Credential Manager)

None of the above is transmitted to praxia.tools or to any server we operate. You can inspect or delete this data at any time by removing the workspace folder.

2. What is sent to the LLM provider you choose

When you send a chat message, run a batch, generate a document, or execute a scheduled task, Praxia constructs a prompt that may include:

Your message text
Conversation history of the current thread (last ~30 turns)
Retrieved snippets from your indexed documents — only the chunks the retriever judged relevant, not the entire library
Your selected schedule / batch metadata when relevant

This prompt is sent over HTTPS to the API endpoint of the provider you configured. We do not see, log, or proxy that traffic.

Common providers and their data handling notes:

OpenAI (api.openai.com): per their API data-usage policy, content sent via the API is not used to train OpenAI models by default. Reference.
Anthropic (api.anthropic.com): same — API inputs and outputs are not used to train models by default. Reference.
Azure OpenAI: governed by your Azure tenant settings. Microsoft does not use Azure OpenAI inputs for training. Reference.
Google Gemini (generativelanguage.googleapis.com): governed by Google Cloud terms. Reference.
Ollama / LM Studio (localhost): the request never leaves your machine.

If you switch providers in Settings, Praxia immediately starts using the new one — there is no migration or copy of past data to the new provider.

3. Telemetry and analytics

3.1 Praxia Desktop (the Windows app)

Praxia Desktop ships with telemetry disabled by default. It does not phone home, count starts, or report errors back to us.

The only outbound HTTP requests the app makes on its own are:

A periodic check to https://api.github.com/repos/praxia-dev/praxia/releases to detect new versions. This is a public, unauthenticated GitHub endpoint and does not identify you.
OAuth callback round-trips when you connect a SaaS provider (Slack, GitHub, Notion, etc.) — these go directly to the provider, not to us.

3.2 The praxia.tools website

The landing page at praxia.tools uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-2128CCW5WP). GA4 is loaded only after you accept the consent banner, and collects standard page-view metrics (page URL, language, browser family, country). It does not see anything inside the desktop app.

4. Open-source core (praxia on PyPI)

The orchestration core that Praxia Desktop bundles is published as the praxia package under Apache License 2.0. Anyone can audit the code on GitHub and verify how prompts are constructed, which endpoints are called, and what local storage looks like. The package itself emits no telemetry.

5. Children's privacy

Praxia is a productivity tool for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

6. Your choices

Stop sending data to a cloud LLM: switch the provider to Ollama or LM Studio in Settings.
Stop the desktop app from contacting GitHub for updates: disable the in-app updater in Settings.
Delete everything Praxia stored: uninstall the app and remove the workspace folder (%APPDATA%\Praxia\).
Opt out of website analytics: decline the consent banner on praxia.tools, or use any standard tracker- blocker.

7. Contact

Questions about this policy: open a GitHub Issue at github.com/praxia-dev/praxia/issues.

8. Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a new version stamp. The current version is always at praxia.tools/privacy.html.
