What we never collect¶
TODO: the explicit "never" list. Things Ostler is architecturally incapable of collecting because the design rules them out:
- Message bodies leaving the device
- Email content leaving the device
- Contact lists, calendar events, browsing history leaving the device
- Microphone or screen recording transmitted off-device
- Behavioural analytics on what the user types into the assistant
- Any form of "fleet learning" or aggregated training data
Each item should explain why the architecture prevents it, not just that we promise not to do it.
