Assessment
Reasoning: A character-chat app that runs open models on the user's own machine, with optional cloud models. Local use sends nothing to the vendor. The cloud option and account data fall under a template policy that says nothing about chats, training or region.
Flags: Cloud chats not covered by the policy · Storage region not stated · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
