At Elevoire, the creators of AliDesk (including AliOffice, AliDoc, AliSheet, AliSlides, AliPDF, AliCode, AliWrite, AliChat, AliVault, AliNotes, AliCreate, and AliAI), privacy is not an afterthought, a legal compromise, or a marketing slogan—it is the foundational architectural pillar upon which all our software is engineered.
1. The Local-First Guarantee
AliDesk applications run locally on your personal computer or workstation. By default:
- Zero Remote File Storage: Your documents, spreadsheets, slides, code repositories, notes, and PDF annotations remain stored exclusively on your local file system unless you intentionally choose an optional cloud backup feature.
- No Silent Telemetry: We do not log keystrokes, document contents, project directory structures, or file names. Basic crash diagnostics are strictly opt-in and fully auditable.
- No Account Required: You can download, install, and utilize AliDesk forever without registering an account, providing an email, or handing over payment credentials.
2. Artificial Intelligence & Model Privacy (AliAI)
When you interact with AI features inside AliDesk (such as in AliChat, AliCode, or AliWrite):
- Local AI Sovereignty: If you use local models via Ollama or ONNX Runtime, 100% of data processing occurs on your physical CPU/GPU. No data leaves your machine or touches any remote server whatsoever.
- Explicit Notice for Cloud AI: If you configure a third-party cloud provider (such as Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenAI) using your own API key, AliDesk only sends the specific prompt context you explicitly command. Document contents are never indexed or transmitted in the background.
- No AI Model Training: Elevoire does not use your documents, code snippets, or conversations to train any foundation models or fine-tune public models.
3. Cryptographic Security & AliVault
The AliVault application utilizes client-side authenticated AES-256 GCM encryption. Your master password is never transmitted across the network or stored in plaintext. It is derived using memory-hard PBKDF2/Argon2 algorithms. If you lose your master password and your offline recovery keyphrase, neither Elevoire nor any third party can recover your encrypted secrets.
4. Third-Party Services & Network Interactions
AliDesk communicates with external networks only in the following transparent situations:
- Checking for software updates (fetches version manifest from
updates.elevoire.com). - Forwarding user-initiated API queries to your chosen AI provider (if configured with your personal API key).
- Submitting support inquiries through our verified web forms.
5. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA
Because we do not collect or maintain centralized databases of your local files, your data sovereignty is naturally enforced by architecture. For any account-level inquiries (e.g. support tickets or enterprise billing), you have the complete right to access, rectify, or request immediate erasure of your records by emailing [email protected].
