Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Summary.
COTID is designed so that your data never leaves your device. We cannot see, access, or collect your documents, prompts, notes, or any content you create. This isn't a policy choice — it's an architectural one.
What we collect.
Account information: When you create an account or subscribe, we collect your email address and payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details).
License verification: The app performs a periodic license check (once per billing period) to verify your subscription is active. This transmits only your license key — no usage data, no content, no telemetry.
Waitlist signups: If you join our waitlist, we store your email address to notify you when the product launches.
What we do not collect.
We do not collect, transmit, or have access to:
— Your documents, notes, or any content you create
— Your prompts or conversations with the AI
— Your files, images, or research materials
— Usage analytics or telemetry
— Device identifiers or tracking data
All AI processing happens locally on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers or any third party.
Third-party services.
Stripe: Payment processing. Subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
DigitalOcean: Hosting for this website and license verification endpoint only.
Data retention.
Account and billing data is retained for the duration of your subscription and as required by law. Waitlist emails are retained until product launch or until you request removal.
To request deletion of your data, email privacy@cotid.ai.
