Privacy Policy
Introduction
At Katachi, we believe in transparency. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we need it for our hardware-bound security model, and how we handle your code.
Information We Collect
To provide our secure, hardware-bound service, we collect:
- Device Fingerprints: We collect hashed hardware identifiers to cryptographically bind your session to your specific device.
- Account Information: Name and email address via an industry-standard identity provider.
- Usage Telemetry: Anonymized session duration and command frequency.
- Payment Information: Processed and stored securely by Stripe. We do not store full credit card details.
Your Code & Data
Your code primarily stays on your machine.
- We do not persistently store your source code on our servers.
- Code snippets are processed ephemerally when you interact with our LLM features, solely for the purpose of generating responses.
- A local audit log is created on your machine which records all agent activities. This log stays on your device unless you choose to share it for support.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Verify your identity and enforce hardware-bound security limits.
- Process payments and manage subscriptions.
- Prevent fraud and unauthorized account sharing.
- Improve the performance and reliability of the Katachi agent.
Third-Party Processors
We partner with trusted third-party providers to deliver our service. Under GDPR and similar privacy laws, we are required to disclose these data processors:
- Cloudflare (Tunnels & CDN): Provides secure, encrypted tunneling infrastructure between your local agent and the Katachi platform. Cloudflare may process connection metadata (IP addresses, timestamps). Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Auth0 (Authentication): Handles identity management, login, and session tokens. Auth0 processes your email address and authentication credentials. Auth0 Privacy Policy
- Stripe (Payments): PCI-compliant payment processing. Stripe processes your payment method and billing details. We do not store full credit card details. Stripe Privacy Policy
- Railway (Hosting): Cloud infrastructure hosting for the Katachi backend. Railway may process request metadata (IP addresses, timestamps) as part of normal server operations. Railway Privacy Policy
- LLM Providers (AI): Katachi provides SDK access to providers such as Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), OpenAI, and GitHub (Copilot). You bring your own API keys and subscriptions. Your data is sent directly to these providers under your own account. Katachi does not act as an intermediary or data processor for these interactions.
