Security and data

• Factr-I stores your chats on your own computer, not on our servers. It sends no data to Refactr.
• With a cloud model provider, that provider sees your messages and any files the agent reads. With a local model, your messages stay on your computer.
• With a local model, two things still reach the internet: an update check to GitHub, and a one-time 200 MB speech-engine download if you use voice.
• Risky commands ask for your approval first, and “always allow” applies to one folder.
• On Factr-M, your data and logs stay on the nodes in your office. We remove the connections to outside AI providers by default, and keep one only if you ask.
• Factr-I's code will be public once it is released, so you can read it.
