Privacy Policy

Who We Are

SPACE Terminal is an open-source AI conversation interface available at spaceterminal.xyz. The service is provided as-is with no accounts, authentication, or server-side storage of your data.

How SPACE Works

SPACE uses a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) model. You provide your own API key from OpenRouter, which gives you access to AI models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini.

When you send a message:

1. Your browser encrypts and stores your API key locally using AES-256 encryption
2. Your browser sends your message directly to OpenRouter's API using your key
3. The AI response is displayed and stored locally in your browser
4. No conversation data passes through or is stored on SPACE servers

Data Storage

What's Stored Locally (In Your Browser)

All of the following data is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and never leaves your device:

• Your complete conversation history and messages
• Custom AI advisors you create
• Your encrypted API key (AES-256 encryption with password protection)
• Saved prompts and preferences
• Session settings (theme, sidebar state, etc.)

You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings or using in-app commands.

What We Store (On Our Servers)

Nothing. We do not store your conversations, API keys, or any personal information on any server or database.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage patterns. This helps us improve the app and understand which features are valuable.

What Analytics Collects

Google Analytics automatically collects:

• Page views and session duration
• Device type and browser information
• Geographic location (country/region level only)
• A random cookie ID to group events by browser (not linked to your identity)

We also track specific events:

• Message sent: When you send a message (includes: whether you have advisors active, message count)
• Advisor created: When you create a new advisor (includes: advisor name)
• Feature usage: When you use features like voting or high council
• Session tracking: When you start/end a session

What We Don't Track

• ❌ Conversation content or message text
• ❌ API keys or credentials
• ❌ Email addresses or personal information
• ❌ Your identity (no login, no authentication)

Opting Out of Analytics

You can block Google Analytics using:

• Browser privacy settings (disable third-party cookies)
• Ad blockers (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, etc.)
• Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Third-Party Services

OpenRouter (AI Service Provider)

When you use your own API key with OpenRouter, your messages are sent directly from your browser to OpenRouter's servers. OpenRouter processes your messages to generate AI responses from providers like Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini).

We do not see, store, or have access to these messages. Your data relationship is directly with OpenRouter and the underlying AI providers.
