Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

1. Introduction

Artemis is designed with user privacy and local-first control at its core. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with the Artemis open-source project and its components.

2. Self-Hosted Environment

When you run Artemis locally or self-host it on your own infrastructure:

  • Data Ownership: All log entries, message logs, and memory indexes are stored locally on your device or hosting server. We do not have access to your data.
  • Credentials Security: All API keys, OAuth tokens, and session secrets stay on your machine and are encrypted at rest using local configuration mechanisms.
  • No Telemetry: Artemis does not collect or transmit tracking logs, usage statistics, or telemetry back to the developers or any central server.

3. Third-Party Inference & Services

Depending on your specific configuration, Artemis calls external services to function:

  • LLM Providers: Prompts, contextual data, and workspace snippets are sent to the AI model providers you configure (e.g., Google Vertex AI, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Ollama for local processing). These requests are governed by each provider's respective privacy policy.
  • API Integrations (MCP): When you link integrations (Gmail, Calendar, Discord, WhatsApp, etc.), Artemis communicates directly with their APIs to complete tasks on your behalf.

4. Security

We recommend securing your local instances and gateway ports. Since Artemis executes system tasks and manages active application tokens, access to the gateway and CLI ports should be limited to trusted local networks or protected behind authentication gates.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect additions to our open-source capabilities. The date of the last revision will be indicated at the top of the page.
