Privacy Policy

The Haypile software collects nothing. It has no telemetry, no analytics, no accounts, and no update checks. Your documents and your index never leave your machine. This is not a promise we ask you to trust: run hay status and the software reports its own outbound connection count, which is zero.

• Everything Haypile indexes stays in a single database file on your disk, under your control. We never see it, transmit it, or hold keys to it.
• Haypile makes no network requests. The embedding model ships inside the binary. If you choose to use hay ask, generation happens on a server running on your own machine.
• Optional integrations you configure, such as connecting an AI client over MCP, are under that client's privacy terms, not ours. Haypile itself still sends nothing anywhere.

This site is a static site with no analytics scripts, no cookies set by us, and no tracking. Our hosting provider may keep standard, short-lived access logs (IP address, requested page) to operate the service, as virtually all web hosts do.

Binaries are distributed through GitHub Releases and Homebrew. Downloading through them is subject to GitHub's and Homebrew's own privacy policies. We see only the aggregate download counts those platforms publish.

If this policy ever changes, the change will be visible in the public repository's history, loudly. Our standing commitment: if the software ever gains any network feature, it will be opt-in, documented, and off by default.
