What happens on your device
PocketMind processes your chat messages, imported document text, instructions, and editable memories on your device. The current app has no account system, advertising, developer analytics, automatic synchronization, or cloud chat service.
Your library is stored locally with encryption, and its device key is kept in Apple’s Keychain. Preferences such as your selected model are also stored locally. Content is available to the app in memory while it is being used.
When you import a document, PocketMind saves its extracted text in your library. The original file stays in its original location. Importing a file does not give the app access to all your documents. Imported text and saved memories provide context for answers; they do not automatically train the model.
When PocketMind connects
You choose when to download a model. Model downloads connect to Hugging Face and its file-delivery infrastructure. Those services receive the requested file URL, your connecting IP address, and ordinary network request information. PocketMind does not include your conversations, document text, or memories in those download requests. See Hugging Face’s privacy policy for its practices.
Manual Offline mode blocks PocketMind’s own model-download requests and cancels an active download. It does not change your device’s network settings or control another app’s internet access. Local chat works without internet after a compatible model is installed.
Choosing a document from an online file provider, opening an external website, or saving an export to a cloud location may use the internet through that provider or your browser.
Backups and exports you choose
You can export a password-protected backup and select its destination. If you save it in iCloud Drive or another online file service, that service may synchronize it according to your settings. Keep your backup password safe: PocketMind has no password-recovery service. Backups contain your library, not the downloaded model files.
The app’s internal library and model directory are marked to be excluded from automatic system backup. Use PocketMind’s explicit backup feature to preserve your library, and test a backup before removing the original.
Conversation export creates a readable Markdown file containing messages and saved source excerpts. This export is not encrypted. Anything you copy or export can be read by the destination app or service and anyone with access to that copy.
Reviewing and deleting information
You can review, edit, and delete memories and remove conversations or documents in the app. Workspace reset clears library content and instructions; installed models can be removed separately.
Deleting a document stops it from being used for future retrieval. It does not remove excerpts already saved in conversations or copies you exported. Original documents, backups, and exports must be deleted separately from the locations where you saved them.
This website and support
This website is hosted by GoDaddy. Our website code contains no advertising, analytics scripts, contact forms, or code that sets cookies. Hosting the site still involves processing technical request information: GoDaddy may process information such as your IP address and browser details to deliver and secure the website. This is separate from PocketMind’s on-device processing.
For information about GoDaddy’s own data handling, see its Global Privacy Notice.
If you email Steady Forth LLC, your address, message, and any attachments are sent through the email services used by you and the business. That is separate from PocketMind’s local library. Send only what is needed to explain the issue; a fictional example is often enough. Do not send passwords or private documents.
For questions about this draft or information you have sent directly to the business, contact support at tj@steadyforth.com.
Before the public release
This draft will be reviewed against the final app, website hosting, model-download providers, and support practices. Any future online services or diagnostics will require an updated explanation of how they handle data.
