OpenClient does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data to the developer. The app runs entirely on your device and communicates only with the server you configure.
OpenClient has no developer-operated server, backend, analytics service, or cloud infrastructure of any kind. There is no telemetry, no usage tracking, and no crash reporting sent to the developer. The developer never receives any data from your use of the app.
All app data — including your settings, conversation history, and preferences — is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your user profile and preferences are stored in your personal iCloud Key-Value store, which is private to your Apple ID and not accessible by the developer. Nothing leaves your device except the requests you explicitly send to the server you configure.
The app connects exclusively to the server URL that you provide. This can be an Ollama instance, a LiteLLM proxy, or any other OpenAI-compatible backend. All network requests are sent directly from your device to your server. The developer has no access to, knowledge of, or involvement in this communication.
Any API keys you configure in the App (for direct provider access) or on your self-hosted server are stored securely in the device Keychain and never transmitted to the developer. The management of API keys, their associated costs, and the terms of service of any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.) are entirely your responsibility as the operator. OpenClient and its developer are not affiliated with any LLM provider.
The app integrates the Votice SDK (developed by the same author) to support voice-related features such as audio transcription and text-to-speech. This SDK communicates only with the server you configure and does not send data to any external service. No advertising networks, tracking frameworks, or third-party analytics are used. iCloud Key-Value storage is used optionally for syncing your user profile across your own Apple devices; this data is private to your Apple ID.
OpenClient is fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You can inspect, audit, and verify every line of code in the GitHub repository. This transparency ensures you can confirm that no data collection exists.
The app does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since no data is collected at all, there is no risk of collecting children's data.
If this policy is updated, the changes will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Since the app collects no data, meaningful changes are unlikely.
If you have questions about this policy, you can open an issue on the GitHub repository.
