Privacy-first Design - What We Collect (and Why)
At JAND AI, privacy isnāt a side feature - itās the foundation. Every design decision, from data collection to analytics, follows one question: *does this respect the user?* This article explains exactly what information JAND AI collects, why itās necessary, and how it stays fully anonymous.
Why privacy matters in AI
Most AI systems rely on massive user data pipelines to train and improve their models. That approach trades personalization for surveillance. JAND AI takes a different path - a **privacy-first architecture** that treats user data as a responsibility, not a resource.
We believe intelligent systems can learn and improve without building profiles, recording conversations, or tracking identities. This belief guides both our product design and infrastructure choices.
What JAND AI collects
When you use JAND AI, only a minimal amount of technical data is processed. Hereās the complete list of whatās collected - and whatās not.
- Anonymous performance telemetry: Basic system metrics like response time, request count, and error codes. These help us detect downtime and improve server stability.
- Device type and browser version: Used only for compatibility optimization and bug fixes. We donāt store IP addresses or geolocation data.
- Session ID (temporary): Random, non-identifiable string used to maintain short-term chat context. It expires automatically when you close the tab.
- Consent signals: Preferences such as dark/light mode, language, or cookie consent are stored locally on your device.
Thatās it. We do not log conversation content, personal identifiers, email addresses, or any third-party analytics IDs. We also avoid behavioral advertising and fingerprinting.
What we donāt collect
Transparency also means clarifying what never touches our servers:
- No chat logs or text content are stored.
- No keystroke, cursor, or scroll tracking scripts.
- No cross-site cookies or advertising pixels.
- No hidden telemetry beyond uptime monitoring.
Your usage stays private, even from us. Every request is ephemeral and encrypted, then discarded once fulfilled.
How anonymization works
All operational data passes through an **anonymization layer** before reaching our analytics tools. Each record is stripped of IP, User-Agent fingerprinting fields, and timestamps precise enough to identify sessions. Only aggregate data (for example, ā99 % of users completed a request in under 2 secondsā) is retained for performance tuning.
This means even internal developers cannot trace logs back to individuals. Itās analytics without surveillance - accountability without identity.
Our design philosophy
JAND AIās privacy-first approach is built on three principles:
- Collect less: Every byte must justify its existence. If data isnāt essential, itās not captured.
- Process locally: Wherever possible, computation happens in your browser, reducing server exposure.
- Be transparent: Users deserve to know what happens under the hood - no dark patterns, no fine-print surprises.
āA good AI doesnāt need to know you - it just needs to understand your request.ā
Compliance and user rights
JAND AI complies with the GDPR, CCPA, and other major data-protection frameworks. Since we hold no personal data, requests such as deletion or export are instant - thereās nothing to retrieve. For optional contact features (like feedback forms), data is processed securely and purged after resolution.
Looking forward
Future versions of JAND AI will introduce optional user accounts for sync and customization. Even then, data collection will remain minimal and transparent - with on-device encryption, explicit opt-ins, and full visibility dashboards.
Privacy-first design isnāt a feature we add; itās the foundation we expand on.
JAND AI proves that responsible design and strong privacy can coexist with modern AI. The less we collect, the more you can trust the system. Thatās how the future of AI should work - intelligent, ethical, and free.
