Privacy at UMNOO
A clear account of what stays in your browser and when information can leave it.
Useful technology should respect your choice and use only what it needs.
The default is local-first: Noem interprets messages and drafts prompts in your browser, without automatically forwarding them to external generative AI services. Optional exceptions are described below.
What runs locally
Core Chat and Prompt processing, symbolic rules, temporary NAS state, and routing preferences run in your browser. Pressing feedback controls changes local session preferences; a feedback click does not automatically upload your chat history.
NAS work units are internal estimates, not actual CPU, memory or electrical measurements.
What may be stored
Chat history and taught examples stay in the current page session by default. If optional memory is enabled, up to 20 requests may be stored in your browser without encryption, and can be removed using the app controls.
In Prompt mode, separate permission can allow up to 30 examples to be retained locally for manual export. They are not automatically uploaded or used to train a model.
When feedback is sent
Choosing “Needs improvement” adjusts local conversational state. A comment is sent to the UMNOO server only if you enter text, explicitly consent, and choose “Send feedback”.
By default, only the comment is transmitted. The last question and answer are added only when you explicitly request it. The server validates consent and size, then attempts storage in a private folder outside the public website. There is no public retrieval endpoint.
The request may fail if hosting is unavailable. This version has no implemented retention schedule or public deletion-request channel; avoid sharing sensitive details.
Network and institutional lookups
The hosting provider serves public application files and may keep routine access logs. Some Chat lookups require explicit authorization and use fixed public identifiers rather than full chat content.
Prompt mode does not execute prompts in third-party AI services. Microphone icons are placeholders; audio recording is not implemented.
Your choices and limitations
You can use the site without permanent memory, delete locally stored entries using the app controls, and decline to send feedback. On shared devices, keep optional memory off. Local storage is not encrypted; do not enter secrets or confidential documents.
Noem is experimental. Shadow neural components do not make decisions, and the application does not demonstrate AGI or universal factual verification. Double-check outputs, especially in sensitive contexts.
