Privacy Policy

If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at contact@alfas.ai

TL;DR

• If you enable "Privacy Mode" in Alfas.ai settings: zero data retention will be enabled, and none of your code will ever be stored or trained on by us or any third party.
• If you keep "Privacy Mode" off, we collect telemetry and usage data. This may include prompts, editor actions, code snippets, and edits made to this code. We use this data to evaluate and improve our AI features.
• With "Privacy Mode" off, if you use autocomplete, Fireworks (our inference provider) may also collect prompts to improve inference speed.

Other Notes

• Even if you use your API key, your requests will still go through our backend, where we do our final prompt building.
• If you index your codebase, Alfas will upload your codebase in small chunks to our server to compute embeddings. However, all plaintext code ceases to exist after the life of the request. The embeddings and metadata about your codebase (hashes, file names) may be stored in our database, but none of your code is.
• We temporarily cache file contents on our servers to reduce latency and network usage. The files are encrypted using unique client-generated keys, and these encryption keys only exist on our servers for the duration of a request. All cached file contents are temporary, never permanently stored, and never used as training data when Privacy Mode is enabled.
