Privacy

Jan is your AI. Period. Here's what we do with data.

💡

Full privacy policy lives here, if you're into that sort of thing.

Zero data collection until you say so. Scout's honor.

You'll choose tracking preferences at first launch. Change them anytime in Settings.

Jan will never peek at your chats, settings, or model choices. Not even if you ask nicely.

Data We Track (With Permission)

We track basic app usage to improve Jan. That's it.

Product Analytics

When allowed, we count:

  • Active Users: Daily Jan-thusiasts
  • Retention: Who sticks around

Everything's tied to a random ID - not you. Your chats stay yours.

What We Don't Track

Jan respects boundaries. We're committed to protecting your privacy.

  • No chat snooping
  • No file scanning
  • No identity tracking
  • No prompt logging
  • No conversation monitoring
  • No model tracking

Your private stuff stays private.

Cloud Model Use

Cloud models (like GPT, Claude) need to see your messages to work. That's between you and them - Jan just makes the introduction. Local models keep everything at home where the neighbors can't gossip.

Data Storage

PostHog EU (opens in a new tab) handles our analytics. All EU-based, GDPR-compliant, properly buttoned up. Details in their GDPR docs (opens in a new tab).
