# Data Privacy: What Ontoic Collects and Your Rights

> Understand what data Ontoic collects, how it's used, how LLM processing works, and how to exercise your rights over your personal data.

Ontoic is a thinking tool, not a surveillance product. It is designed to help you build and explore your own knowledge — not to track your behaviour, harvest your browsing history, or monetise your attention. This page explains in plain language exactly what data Ontoic collects, what it never touches, how your content is processed, and what rights you have over everything stored under your account.

## What Ontoic collects

Ontoic collects only the minimum data needed to operate your account and your knowledge graph.

**Account information**
When you sign up, Ontoic records your email address and a unique account ID.

**Captured content**
Ontoic only saves content when you take an explicit action — such as clipping a page, saving a note, or adding a node. Nothing is captured passively in the background.

**Knowledge graph data**
Your nodes, connections, queries, and the structure of your graph are stored so that your knowledge base persists across sessions and devices.

**Local UI preferences**
Settings such as sidebar state or display preferences are stored locally on your device. They are never transmitted to Ontoic's servers.

## What Ontoic does NOT collect

Ontoic does not collect, store, or have access to:

* Your browsing history or the URLs of pages you visit
* Keystroke or mouse activity data
* Financial information (payment is handled by a third-party processor)
* Personal communications such as emails, messages, or calendar data

<Note>
  If you use the Chrome extension, it requests the following browser permissions: `sidePanel`, `tabs`, `activeTab`, `scripting`, `storage`, and `cookies`. These permissions are used solely to power the extension's capture and display features within your browser — not to monitor your activity. Any session cookie set by the extension is used only for authentication, not tracking. None of your browsing data is transmitted without your explicit action.
</Note>

## LLM processing

When you use features such as Ask, Research, or Dossier mode, the content you have captured may be sent to third-party LLM (large language model) API providers to generate summaries, synthesis, or answers.

A few important points:

* **Training opt-out by default** — the LLM API providers Ontoic uses do not use API inputs to train their models by default. Your captured content is used only to generate your requested output.
* **Data in transit** — content sent to LLM providers is transmitted over HTTPS.

<Warning>
  Ontoic is not designed to store sensitive personal, financial, medical, or confidential professional information. If you have concerns about third-party LLM processing, avoid capturing material of this kind.
</Warning>
