llmrelay is designed with a simple principle: We don't have any of your data, and we don't want it.
- ❌ We don't collect your conversations
- ❌ We don't collect your browsing history
- ❌ We don't collect your personal information
- ❌ We don't collect usage analytics
- ❌ We don't collect crash reports
- ❌ We don't collect device information
- ❌ We don't use cookies or tracking
- ❌ We don't send data to our servers (we don't even have servers!)
Everything happens on YOUR device:
- You type a question in your terminal
- It goes to the Chrome extension on YOUR computer
- Chrome's built-in AI (on YOUR device) processes it
- The response comes back to YOUR terminal
- Nothing leaves your computer. Ever.
- No servers: We literally don't have any servers to send your data to
- Local processing: Everything uses Chrome's on-device AI model
- Open source: You can inspect the code yourself
- No network requests: The extension doesn't make any external calls
- Native Messaging: So the extension can talk to your terminal
- Storage: To remember your preferences (stored locally on your device)
- Tabs: To know which Chrome tab you're looking at (if you want context)
- Everything else: Technical requirements for the bridge to work
None of these permissions are used to collect or transmit your data.
We built llmrelay because we wanted AI that:
- Respects your privacy
- Works offline
- Doesn't send your thoughts to Big Tech servers
- Integrates with your developer workflow
If we ever change this policy, it will be to make it even more privacy-focused. We'll never start collecting data.

TL;DR: Your data stays on your computer. We don't want it, don't collect it, and couldn't access it even if we tried.
