Privacy policy
The short version: the Private AI plugin collects no data, sends us nothing, and talks only to the Ollama server you configure. This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third parties. The only data we hold is standard web server logs.
1. The Private AI plugin
Private AI is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin that sends your prompts and the code you select to a large language model served by Ollama.
- Where requests go. The plugin sends requests only to the Ollama base URL in Settings › Tools › Private AI. By default this is
http://localhost:11434, which is your own computer. If you change it to another server, requests go to that server, and you are responsible for that server. - What is sent. Your prompt, the selected code or active file when you use an editor action, and the file's name, type and language as context. This goes to your Ollama server only.
- What we receive. Nothing. The plugin has no telemetry, usage analytics, crash reporting or update pings of its own, and makes no network connections other than to Ollama.
- What is stored locally. Your plugin settings (Ollama URL, model, timeout, temperature), the date your trial started and your license key, if you enter one. They are stored in your IDE's normal configuration directory on your machine.
- Licensing. License keys are validated offline, inside the plugin. Activating a license sends no information to us.
The IDE itself (IntelliJ IDEA) and Ollama are separate products with their own privacy terms. This policy covers only Private AI.
2. This website
- No cookies, analytics or trackers. privateonly.ai does not set cookies or use analytics or advertising tools. It loads no third-party scripts, fonts or images.
- Server logs. Like almost every web server, ours records basic request information: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the response status, referrer and browser user agent. We use these logs only to run and secure the site. They are size-capped, rotated automatically, not shared with anyone and not used to build profiles.
- Hosting. The site is served over HTTPS from our own server. It is not hosted on a third-party platform that would see your visit.
3. Your rights
The plugin collects no personal data, so we hold nothing about your use of it to access, correct or delete. For website server logs, you can ask us about any data relating to your IP address by writing to privacy@privateonly.ai. We will answer within a reasonable time, subject to applicable law.
4. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. We will not quietly add data collection to the plugin. Any change that would send data off your machine would be announced clearly in the plugin's release notes first.
