Privacy

The short version: what visitors type into SiteGuide stays on their device.

What happens when a visitor asks a question

The question is searched inside the visitor's own browser, against files hosted on your website. It isn't sent to SiteGuide, to an AI company, or to any other server. There's no analytics or tracking in the guide.

What the browser downloads

The search data for your site and, on devices that can handle it, a small language model. Both come from your own domain, or from a model host you choose. They're stored in the browser's cache so they aren't downloaded again.

What is stored on the device

The cached search data and model, and a note of which search level works on that device so a crash isn't repeated. Questions and answers aren't stored.

Building a guide

When you build a guide, SiteGuide reads only the pages you point it at, and follows your site's robots.txt. Building and training run on your own machine by default. A model trained on confidential documents can't be published in a public guide.

Previews

When you ask for a preview, we read up to 25 public pages of the address you give, and store the text and search index on Cloudflare for 7 days, then delete them. We don't keep a list of who asked for which site.
