Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Introduction

Ragondin Assistant is a local-first AI assistant that runs entirely on your device.

Privacy is not just a feature of Ragondin Assistant — it is the foundation of how the application is designed. This Privacy Policy explains how the app handles your information and what data is (and is not) collected.

No Personal Data Collection

Ragondin Assistant does not collect, transmit, store, or share personal data on our servers or anyone else's, unless you link it to a Ragondin Core yourself (including a hosted Core, which runs on our servers) (see Ragondin Core).

There are:

• No user accounts
• No sign-up forms
• No cloud chat processing
• No authentication required to use the application

On-Device Processing

All AI processing happens locally on your device, unless you choose a model running on a Ragondin Core you have linked.

Your prompts, conversations, documents, photos, and generated content remain on your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, or to any cloud service, for AI processing.

Photos and images you select are processed on your device and are never uploaded, except to a Ragondin Core you have linked, when you send them to one of its models.

Internet Access

Ragondin Assistant does not use cloud servers for AI conversations.

Internet access is only used for:

• Downloading AI model files
• Downloading application updates
• Optional, user-initiated Web Search and page-reading tools (off by default). Searches go from your device to DuckDuckGo.
• Connecting to a Ragondin Core you have linked (optional)

Once models are downloaded, the core AI functionality works fully offline.

Ragondin Core (optional)

You can link the app to a Ragondin Core: a computer that you, or a team you join, runs, or a hosted Core that Ragondin runs for you if you subscribe to one. We cannot see what is on a Core that you or your team runs.

Once a Core is linked:

• The app sends your conversations to that Core, so you can use its models and find your history on your other devices. Photos go to the Core only when you send them to one of its models.
• On your own Core, your conversations are stored on your computer.
• On a hosted Core, your conversations are stored on a server Ragondin operates for your account.
• On a team's Core, its owner can read the conversations kept there. A chat set to “Only on this phone” stays on your phone and is never sent.
• Deleting a conversation in the app deletes it on the Core and on your other devices.
• Away from the Core's network, the app reaches it through an end-to-end encrypted tunnel. Its relay servers (run by iroh / number0) pass the encrypted traffic along and cannot read it.

You can unlink a Core at any time in Settings. Conversations already on the Core stay there until they are deleted on the Core; a team's owner can also revoke your device from the Core.

No Analytics in the App

The Ragondin Assistant app you install from the App Store or Google Play does not use:

• Analytics services
• Advertising SDKs
• Tracking technologies
• Telemetry systems
• Tracking pixels
• Behavioral monitoring

We have no visibility into how you use the app, what you ask the AI, or how often you use it.

Visit Counting on Our Websites

Our websites, this site (assistant.ragondin.ai) and the browser version of the app (web.assistant.ragondin.ai), count visits with Ragondin Analytics, a tool we run ourselves, so we know how many people come, where from, and how long they stay. This site is also counted by Aviendha, another tool we build and run, which keeps less: it does not measure how long a page stays open. Neither tool sees your conversations, prompts, documents, or anything you type into the assistant.

• Neither tool sets cookies or stores anything on your device. No advertising and no third-party trackers.
• Your IP address and browser are used only at the moment of your visit, to count you once per day through a one-way code that changes every day. They are never stored.
• We keep: the pages you view, how long the page stays open and visible, the site or campaign link that sent you, links you follow to other sites (such as the App Store), your country, and your type of device (phone, tablet or computer).
• Ragondin Analytics keeps these counts for up to 13 months. They cannot be linked back to you, so there is nothing we could look up or delete for a given person.

We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in understanding how our websites are used. Ragondin Analytics runs on Cloudflare's servers and Aviendha on servers we rent, both on our behalf.

No Third-Party Data Sharing

Because Ragondin Assistant does not collect user data, no data is sold, shared, or transferred to advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers, or other third parties. The visit counts from our websites stay with us. The only place your conversations can go is a Ragondin Core you link yourself.

Local Storage

Conversation history, downloaded AI models, and application settings are stored locally on your device, and on a Ragondin Core if you link one.

You remain in control of your data at all times.

Your Control

Since your data stays on your device (and on a Core you have linked), you may delete your data at any time by:

• Clearing the application's local storage
• Uninstalling the application from your device
• Deleting conversations in the app, which also deletes them on a linked Core

No account deletion request is necessary because no account exists.

Changes to This Policy

If this Privacy Policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
