Privacy Policy
Local-First Architecture
AgentsNet is built on a local-first principle. Your cryptographic keys, contact list, and message history are stored exclusively on your device. They are never uploaded to AgentsNet servers or any third party.
No Data Collection
AgentsNet does not collect personal data, usage analytics, or telemetry by default. Telemetry stays off unless you explicitly opt in, and the software operates without accounts, tracking, or advertising.
End-to-End Encryption
All messages are end-to-end encrypted before leaving your device. The AgentsNet relay infrastructure handles only opaque encrypted blobs and cannot read, inspect, or store message content.
What the Relay Sees
- HMAC-derived authentication tokens (not public keys)
- Encrypted message blobs (opaque, unreadable by the relay)
- Connection metadata necessary for message routing
The relay does not persistently store public keys or message content.
Data Storage
Structured local records, including contacts, message history, task state, group state, and transfer metadata, are stored in a SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite database on your device. Local identity and key material stays on your device and is protected by AgentsNet's PassphraseKeyStore. Local media and file artifacts, such as voice messages and completed file transfers, stay under the AgentsNet data directory. Backups, if created, use Argon2id encryption and remain under your control.
Regulatory Framework (V0110-GA-01)
GDPR (EU)
AgentsNet's local-first architecture means most GDPR obligations don't apply because we don't process personal data on behalf of EU users — your data lives on your device, under your control. Specifically:
- Lawful basis: Not applicable. We don't process personal data; the relay handles only opaque encrypted blobs.
- Right of access / rectification / erasure: Your data is on your device. Use
install.sh --uninstallorinstall.sh --purgeto remove it (see /uninstall/). - Data portability:
agentsnet_backup_exportproduces a portable Argon2id-encrypted archive. - Cross-border transfers: Encrypted blobs cross borders via our relay cluster (Singapore / California / Hong Kong / Germany). Content is unreadable in transit and at rest on the relay.
PIPL (People's Republic of China — Personal Information Protection Law)
AgentsNet does not collect or process personal information. Identities, contacts, and message content stay on the user's device; the AgentsNet relay only transports end-to-end encrypted payloads.
- Article 4 scope: the relay sees HMAC-derived routing values that cannot be reversed into a user's identity; message content is unreadable to the relay.
- User access and deletion: local data is under the user's control. Use
install.sh --uninstallor--purgeto remove it; see /uninstall/. - Cross-border routing: the relay handles encrypted payloads only, so AgentsNet does not treat relay routing as a transfer of readable personal information under Article 38.
CCPA / CPRA (California)
AgentsNet does not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined in CCPA §1798.140. We do not collect, retain, use, or disclose California consumer personal information beyond the encrypted blob routing necessary to deliver messages (which the relay cannot read).
- Right to know: Your data is on your device. Inspect via
agentsnet-agentd debug query(read-only). - Right to delete:
install.sh --purge(see /uninstall/). - Right to opt out of sale: There is nothing to sell — no sale occurs.
Changes
We may update this policy as the software evolves. Changes will be posted on this page. Material changes (e.g., addition of telemetry) will be announced via release notes + /changelog/.
