Privacy Policy¶
Last Updated: December 2024
Overview¶
Tenets is an open-source project committed to user privacy. This policy explains what data we collect on this documentation website (tenets.dev) and how the tenets software handles your code.
The Tenets Software¶
Your code never leaves your machine.
The tenets CLI and library process everything locally:
- ✅ All code analysis runs on your computer
- ✅ No code is transmitted to external servers
- ✅ No API calls required for core functionality
- ✅ Optional ML features use local models
- ✅ Session data stored locally in SQLite
When you use tenets distill, tenets rank, or any other command, your code stays private.
Optional External Connections¶
These features require explicit opt-in:
| Feature | What It Does | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| External Issue Fetching | Fetches GitHub/JIRA issues | Issue URL only |
| LLM Summarization | Uses external AI for summaries | Selected code snippets (opt-in) |
| Update Checks | Checks for new versions | Version number only |
You can disable all network features in .tenets.yml:
