A privacy policy is a document that can be rewritten. These are properties of where the software runs, which is a harder thing to quietly change.
Your conversations, files and memory stay on your machine. Keeping memory on your own disk is the default and it costs nothing, because six months of the heaviest use we have measured came to 1.2 GB. Memory is small. That is why we would rather you kept it.
Not now, not quietly, not later. Nothing you say to your Maison becomes material for a model somebody else uses, and there is no version of the arrangement where that changes because a term sheet did.
It is plain files in a database on your drive, not a black box. Everything it has come to know about you is something you can open and look at, which is the only real test of whether a claim like this one is true.
Cancel, unplug, or leave entirely and the memory is still there and still yours. Nobody can read it remotely, and that includes us. It is not held hostage to a subscription.
Nobody should have to take a diagram on faith. This is the whole of it: what stays on the machine in front of you, and the one thing that goes out and where it goes.
These keep working with the network off, which is the simplest proof that they are not going anywhere.
We would rather say this out loud than let local do quiet work in a sentence it cannot support.
There is no public address. The assistant is reachable from your phone over your own private network, and nothing is exposed to the internet.
If you would rather not keep the memory yourself, we will hold it in a database of your own, kept separate from every other person's. It costs extra, because hosting costs us money and we would rather charge for it honestly than pretend it is free. You choose during setup, and the default is your machine.
Everything it knows sits in a database on your own drive. If you cancel, unplug or walk away entirely, the memory is still there and it is still yours.
A database of your own, kept separate from everyone else's. Chosen deliberately by you, never the quiet default, and never the thing that happens if you do not read a screen.
Every company that ended up somewhere ugly started out meaning well. Good intentions are not a structure, and they do not survive a change of ownership. So this one is built with the structure first.
Maison Collective is a Delaware public benefit corporation with its purpose written into the charter, including that the capability and what it learns go to the people using it.
An independent trust holds stock carrying no economics and exactly one power: the power to say no to a sale, a change of purpose, or dropping the public benefit status.
We publish what these systems act under rather than keep it proprietary, in full and in the form the software actually reads. A value nobody outside the company can read is not a commitment, it is a mood.
The architecture of a devoted guide and the architecture of a manipulation engine are identical. The only difference is who it answers to. Read the constitution.
Your conversations, files and memory stay on your machine by default, and by default none of your conversations are stored on our servers. The memory is a database on your own disk that nobody can read remotely, and that includes us.
No. Not now, not quietly, not later. Nothing you say to your Maison becomes material for a model somebody else uses.
The reasoning. It runs through your own Claude account, which you sign in to once during setup, and it bills to you by Anthropic under your terms rather than ours. We are not in the middle of it and we do not mark it up. Everything else stays on your disk.
No. It is reachable from your phone over your own private network only. There is no public address and nothing is exposed to the internet, so there is no door to knock on.
You keep it. Cancel, unplug or walk away entirely and the memory is still on your disk and still yours. It is not held hostage to a subscription.
If you would rather not keep it yourself we will hold it in a database of your own, kept separate from every other person's. It costs an additional monthly fee, because hosting costs us money and we would rather charge for it honestly than pretend it is free. Your own machine is the default and it is included.
