Your Privacy is Our Priority
MicClaw is designed from the ground up to protect your data and privacy. Here's how we keep your information safe.
Built for
Security isn't an afterthought - it's built into every aspect of MicClaw.
Local-First Architecture
Your conversations and data stay on your device. When using BYOK, we never see or store your interactions.
Encrypted API Keys
API keys are encrypted using AES-256 and stored in your OS secure credential storage (Keychain, Credential Manager, or Secret Service).
No Telemetry by Default
We don't collect usage data or analytics by default. Optional anonymous telemetry requires explicit opt-in.
Zero Data Retention
When using our managed cloud, conversations are processed in real-time and not stored on our servers.
Open Source
MicClaw is fully open source under the MIT license. This means you can:
- Review every line of code for security issues
- Verify our privacy claims independently
- Build from source for complete control
- Contribute security improvements
