Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

The short version: Crayfish runs entirely on your device. Your data stays with you. We don't collect, store, or have access to any of your personal information.

Our Privacy Philosophy

Crayfish was built with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought. We believe you should own your data, and that AI assistants shouldn't require you to send your personal information to someone else's servers.

What Data Does Crayfish Collect?

None. Crayfish is self-hosted software that runs entirely on your own device. We (KekwanuLabs) do not:

Collect any personal information from you
Store any of your data on our servers
Have access to your conversations, emails, or calendar
Track how you use Crayfish
Sell any data to third parties (we don't have any data to sell)

Where Is Your Data Stored?

All data processed by Crayfish stays on your device — the Raspberry Pi, computer, or server where you installed it. This includes:

Your configuration and settings
Your email and calendar data (synced from your accounts)
Conversation history with your AI
Any API keys you've entered

If you connect Crayfish to external services (like Gmail, Telegram, or an AI provider like Anthropic or OpenAI), those services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them.

Third-Party Services

Crayfish can connect to services you choose to enable. When you do, your data is shared with those services according to their privacy policies:

AI Providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) — Your prompts and conversations are sent to generate responses
Gmail/Google Calendar — Your emails and calendar events are accessed with your permission
Telegram — Your messages are sent through Telegram's platform
Brave Search — Your search queries are sent to get web results

You choose which services to connect. If you want maximum privacy, you can use on-device AI models (via Ollama) that don't send any data externally.

This Website

This website (crayfish-ai.com) is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard web analytics (page views, geographic region, browser type) as part of their service. We don't use cookies for tracking or advertising.

Open Source Transparency

Crayfish is open source software licensed under the MIT License. You can review the entire codebase at github.com/KekwanuLabs/crayfish to verify our privacy claims for yourself.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since Crayfish is self-hosted, policy changes don't affect the software running on your device.
