Overview
Captain Claw is an open-source AI agent that you install and run on your own hardware. Your sessions, memory, documents, and configuration live on the machine where you run it — not on servers operated by us. This Privacy Policy describes how the captain-claw.com website handles information, and clarifies how the Captain Claw software itself handles your data when you use it.
Information the website collects
The captain-claw.com marketing website and documentation use Google Analytics (gtag.js, measurement ID G-6N1C6M469D) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. This may include:
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Which main buttons were used, such as joining the waitlist or copying an install command
- Referring URL and approximate geographic region
- Browser, operating system, and device type
- Anonymized IP address
We do not ask you to create an account to browse the website or read the documentation, and we do not collect names, email addresses, or payment information through the website.
The Captain Claw software
Captain Claw runs locally. When you install and use it:
- Your data stays with you. Sessions, memory, playbooks, and documents are stored in
~/.captain-claw (or your configured data directory) on your own machine. - LLM providers. Prompts and context you send through Captain Claw are transmitted to whichever LLM provider you configure (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, etc.). Those providers have their own privacy policies and data handling practices, which apply to that data.
- Integrations you enable. If you connect Captain Claw to Google Workspace, Telegram, Slack, Discord, X, or any other third-party service, data flows directly between your instance and that service under the credentials you provide.
- No telemetry to us. The Captain Claw software does not send your usage data, prompts, memory contents, or configuration back to captain-claw.com or to any service we operate.
Captain for Android
Captain for Android (com.kstevica.captain.app) is a client for a Flight Deck that you or your organisation runs. It connects only to the Flight Deck addresses you add, never to a server we operate unless the address you add is one of our demo environments.
- What the app keeps on your phone. The addresses, names and logos of the decks you add; the email addresses of the accounts you use on them; each account's session; and, only if you turn on "Remember on this phone", its password. Sessions and passwords are encrypted with a key held in your phone's Android Keystore, which never leaves the device. Files you open from a deck are kept in the app's cache; files you download go to your Downloads folder.
- What it sends, and where. Everything you do in the app goes to the Flight Deck you opened: your email and password when you sign in, your messages to agents, files and photos you choose to attach, and requests for the files and data you open. The operator of that deck (you, or your organisation) controls how it stores that data. Links that lead outside the deck open in your browser.
- No tracking. The app contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs and sends nothing to captain-claw.com or to any third party.
- Permissions. The app uses network access only. Files and photos are shared with a deck only when you pick them in the system file picker.
- Backups. The app's data is excluded from Android backups and device-to-device transfers.
- Deleting your data. Remove an account or a deck from the app with its ⋯ menu, or uninstall the app, to delete everything the app keeps on the phone. Accounts on a Flight Deck are managed by that deck's administrator: ask them to delete your account and the data it holds there.
- Children. The app is not directed to children under 13.
Demo environments
Hosted demo environments (such as demo.captain-claw.com and computer.captain-claw.com) are provided for evaluation purposes only. Do not enter personal, confidential, or production data into these demos. Activity in these environments may be logged for operational and abuse-prevention purposes and may be reset or wiped at any time without notice.
Cookies
The website uses cookies set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors. You can block these cookies in your browser settings or by using a browser extension without affecting your ability to read the site.
Your choices
Because we do not operate accounts or store personal data about website visitors beyond aggregated analytics, there is typically no user record for us to access, export, or delete. If you believe we hold personal information about you and would like it removed, contact the maintainer through the GitHub repository linked in the footer.
