Privacy Policy

ZenonAI ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website zenon.ai and provides the open-source AI agent Samantha. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or make a donation, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Samantha itself runs entirely on your local machine. We have no access to your conversations, voice data, files, or any other information processed by the agent software.

2.1 Information you provide directly

• Donation payments — when you donate, payment processing is handled entirely by Paddle. We do not receive or store your card number, billing address, or full payment details. Paddle may share a transaction ID and the amount with us for record-keeping.
• Contact enquiries — if you email us or open a GitHub issue, we retain the content of that communication to respond to you.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Server logs — our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically records standard HTTP request logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging.
• Cookies — we use a single first-party localStorage entry (zenon-theme) to remember your dark/light mode preference. This is not a tracking cookie and contains no personal data.

2.3 Information we do NOT collect

• We do not run analytics trackers (no Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.).
• We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.
• We do not collect data from the Samantha agent running on your machine.

• To process and record donations via Paddle.
• To respond to support enquiries or GitHub issues.
• To maintain security and diagnose technical problems using server logs.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.

Paddle (Payment Processing)

Donations are processed by Paddle.com, who acts as the Merchant of Record. Paddle's collection and use of your payment data is governed by their own Privacy Policy. We receive only a transaction confirmation and amount — not your card or billing data.

Vercel (Hosting)

This website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes request logs in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

GitHub

Our source code and issue tracker are hosted on GitHub. Interactions with our GitHub repository are subject to GitHub's Privacy Statement.

• Server logs: retained for up to 30 days then automatically deleted.
• Donation records: transaction IDs and amounts are retained for 7 years to comply with financial record-keeping obligations.
• Support correspondence: retained until the issue is resolved, then deleted within 12 months.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Deletion — ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention requirements.
• Objection — object to certain types of processing.
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@zenon.ai. We will respond within 30 days.

Our website and services are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us at privacy@zenon.ai and we will delete it promptly.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption for all web traffic and strict access controls on any stored information. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
