Data Use and Privacy Overview
Last updated: August 3, 2026
Local-first by default
Zod Agent runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no backend, and no server that stores or processes your data. All workspace data lives on your device:
- Sessions, memory, todos, notes, data stores, provider configuration, and preferences are stored in your browser's
localStorage - The background scheduler mirrors state to IndexedDB so scheduled tasks can run in a service worker
- We do not collect telemetry, analytics, or any usage data
- You can export your full workspace as JSON and import it anywhere
Requests to AI providers
The only data that leaves your device is what you explicitly send to an AI provider:
- Requests go directly from your browser to the provider endpoint you configure (e.g. OpenRouter, OpenAI, Groq, Together, Ollama, LM Studio)
- We do not proxy, log, or inspect those requests
- Provider API keys are stored only in your browser and sent only to the provider
baseUrlyou set - Anything you send to a provider is subject to that provider's own terms and data policies
Who can see your data
- Zod: We cannot see your data. There is no server on our side to receive it.
- Your AI provider: Only the specific content you send in a request, per their policy.
- Your browser/device: Data persists locally until you clear storage, remove the extension, or uninstall the app.
- Extension and desktop surfaces: The Chrome extension and desktop app act on your browser tabs and desktop only with your opt-in, and nothing is transmitted beyond the provider requests you trigger.
