Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

SharpAI LLC ("we," "our," or "us") respects your concerns about privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we obtain about you when you use the SharpAI LLC desktop application and related services, how we may use that information, with whom we may share it, and the choices available to you. This Privacy Policy also describes the measures we take to safeguard the information and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.

2. Information We Collect

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

SharpAI LLC is a desktop application that stores most data locally on your computer. The following information is created and stored on your device:

• Video content and recordings — Live camera feeds, saved video clips, and captured snapshots from your connected cameras.
• AI analysis results — Object detection data, motion events, scene descriptions, and other analysis outputs generated by on-device or cloud-based AI models.
• Application data — Your preferences, camera configurations, notification rules, chat history, and event timeline, all stored in a local SQLite database.

Information You Provide

When you configure certain features, you may provide the following information, which is stored locally on your device:

• Camera provider credentials — Login credentials for cloud-connected camera services such as Blink or Ring, used to authenticate with those services on your behalf.
• Third-party AI service API keys — API keys for AI providers such as Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic, used to send analysis requests from your device to those services.
• Messaging service tokens — Bot tokens, chat IDs, or webhook URLs for notification services such as Discord or Telegram.

Information Sent to Third-Party Services

When you configure cloud-based AI providers, SharpAI LLC sends requests directly from your device to those services. These requests may include camera images, video frames, or text prompts for the purpose of AI-powered analysis and conversational interaction. The processing of this data by third-party AI providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Crash & Diagnostic Reports

To help us identify and fix software defects, SharpAI Aegis may automatically send anonymous crash reports to our diagnostic service provider (Sentry) when unexpected errors occur. These reports include:

• Technical error details — The error message and code stack trace showing where the problem occurred.
• Device information — Your operating system version, app version, and general hardware type (e.g., CPU architecture).

Crash reports do not include any video footage, camera images, chat messages, AI analysis results, API keys, or other personally identifiable information. You can disable crash reporting at any time in the application's Privacy settings.

3. How We Use the Information We Collect

We may use the information described above to:

• Provide and operate the SharpAI LLC application and its features;
• Perform AI-powered video analysis using on-device models and cloud-based AI providers you configure;
• Generate smart alerts and notifications based on detected events and your configured rules;
• Organize video clips into a searchable, browsable timeline;
• Enable conversational AI interaction about your camera footage through configured AI providers;
• Deliver notifications to your configured messaging platforms (Discord, Telegram);
• Improve and develop the application's features and functionality.

4. Aegis AI Cloud API Gateway — Data Terms by Plan

In addition to the local desktop application, SharpAI LLC operates a cloud-based AI API gateway ("Aegis AI API") that routes requests to upstream AI model providers on your behalf. When you use the Aegis AI API, your requests — including message content and model responses — pass through SharpAI LLC cloud infrastructure hosted in Google Cloud (us-central1).

The data terms that apply depend on your subscription plan:

Free & Premium Plans

For users on the Free or Premium plans, SharpAI LLC stores request messages and model responses in our secure cloud infrastructure. This data may be used in aggregate and anonymized form to improve Aegis AI services, including model routing quality, cost optimization, and service reliability. We do not sell this data to third parties or use it to serve advertising.

• What is stored — Request message content, model responses, token counts, latency, model identifier, and your account identifier.
• Retention — Request logs are retained for up to 90 days, after which message content is deleted. Aggregated usage metrics (token counts, cost) are retained for billing and analytics purposes.
• Improvement use — Anonymized and aggregated data (never individually attributed) may be used to improve routing logic, detect abuse, and benchmark service quality.

Enterprise Plan

For users on the Enterprise plan, SharpAI LLC does not store your request message content or model response content. Only metadata (token counts, latency, model identifier, cost, and account identifier) is stored for billing and audit purposes. Enterprise data terms are governed by a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) between SharpAI LLC and your organization, which includes:

• No training commitment — Your data is never used to train or improve any AI model or service.
• Right to deletion — You may request deletion of all stored metadata at any time.
• Data residency — Processing location commitments as specified in your DPA.

To obtain an Enterprise plan and execute a DPA, contact us at service@sharpai.org.

Upstream AI Providers

The Aegis AI API forwards your requests to upstream model providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others via OpenRouter or Fireworks AI). These providers may independently store and process your requests under their own privacy policies and terms of service. SharpAI LLC does not control how upstream providers handle data after it is forwarded.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information.

When you configure third-party integrations, your device communicates directly with those services. We are not an intermediary in these communications. The third-party services that your device may communicate with include:

• Camera providers (e.g., Blink, Ring) — Your device communicates with these providers' APIs to retrieve video clips and camera status. This communication occurs directly between your device and the provider.
• AI model providers (e.g., Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) — When you configure cloud AI models, requests including camera images or text prompts are sent directly from your device to these providers for analysis.
• Messaging platforms (e.g., Discord, Telegram) — When you enable notifications, alert messages are sent directly from your device to these platforms.

We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you choose to integrate with SharpAI LLC.

6. Your Choices

Because your data is primarily stored locally on your device, you have direct control over it:

• Access — All your data is stored on your device in accessible formats and is available to you at any time.
• Deletion — You can delete any or all data by removing files from the SharpAI LLC data directory or by uninstalling the application.
• Portability — Your data is stored in standard formats (SQLite, MP4, JPEG) that can be accessed with commonly available tools.
• Third-party integrations — You can disconnect any third-party service at any time by removing its credentials from the application settings. No cloud AI provider or external service is contacted unless you explicitly configure and enable it.
• Crash reporting — You can disable anonymous crash reports at any time in the application's Privacy settings. When disabled, no diagnostic data is sent from your device.

7. Children's Privacy

SharpAI LLC is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Updates to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
