Privacy-First: AI Delivered With Transparency
The AI2U Privacy Promise
š Local-First Architecture
Your index cards and personal data stay in your browser's localStorage. We can't see it, sell it, or lose it because we never have it.
šØš¦ Canadian Platform
Our platform runs on Canadian infrastructure (Digital Ocean Toronto). We're transparent that when you use AI features, your prompts go to the AI providers you choose (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google in the US).
š BYOK Security
Your API keys are encrypted with bank-level AES-256-GCM encryption. Even we can't see them.
š Transparent Data Flow
We're honest about where your data goes:
- Stays Local: Index cards, preferences, session data
- Canadian Servers: Authentication, UI serving only
- US AI Providers: Your prompts when using AI features (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
Why Transparency Matters When AI Comes to You
Every prompt you send to an AI is a window into your thoughts, plans, and concerns. AI2U ensures you know exactly where those windows lead. Unlike platforms that hide their data practices, we believe AI delivered to you should be transparent about its journey.
