Your data stays yours

The sentence everyone writes

Every company says it values your privacy, usually right before a paragraph explaining how it shares your data with "trusted partners." We'd rather skip the slogan and tell you exactly how this works.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. It isn't a revenue line for us, by design (see the Free Covenant).
• We don't train our public models on your private content without your clear say-so. Your business is your business.
• We don't run ads, so we have no reason to build a profile of you to target.

Why we can actually mean it

Here's the part that separates a promise from a fact. Because we run our own machines (see Why we run our own machines), your prompts don't have to travel through a third-party AI provider's servers that we can't see into or control.

When a company rents its AI from a big provider, your words pass through someone else's system, governed by someone else's contract. We removed that middle step. "Your data stays with us" is a statement about our wiring, not a hopeful clause in a partner agreement.

A concrete example

Imagine you ask GabForge to help with a sensitive customer complaint — names, order details, the lot.

• The rented-AI way: that text is sent to an external API, processed on hardware you and your provider don't own, and retained under whatever terms that third party sets.
• The GabForge way: it's processed on our own hardware in Europe, under our own rules, and not handed to anyone else.

The honest caveats

Privacy isn't magic, so we won't pretend. Some optional features — a few specialist plugins that connect to outside services you choose — do send data to those services because that's the job you asked them to do (posting to your social account, say). When that happens, we tell you plainly before it does, and it's always your choice. The default is: your data stays with us, and you stay in control of the exceptions.
