Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how OmeraCode collects, processes, and protects your data when using our development tools.

1. Code Privacy & Local Isolation

We recognize that your schematics and firmware source code are highly confidential intellectual property.

• Local Mode: When using local LLM models (e.g., local inference runtime), your code files and prompts never leave your local machine or network.
• BYOK Mode: Prompts and workspace data are sent directly to the AI infrastructure configured via your private API key. They bypass the Omera Account Backend.
• Omera Account Mode: Requests are securely routed to the Omera backend for usage quota tracking and session routing. We only utilize zero-data-retention APIs, ensuring your inputs are never used for training.

2. Telemetry and Analytics

If enabled (via the telemetry setting), we only collect anonymous usage stats (commands run, tool version, OS type) to improve the platform. We never collect source code, netlists, or private project assets.

3. Payment Processing

All billing cycles and checkouts are managed directly by Paddle (Merchant of Record). We do not store or process your credit card or bank credentials.

4. Credentials Security

Your API keys and session tokens are stored securely using VS Code's SecretStorage API or inside local configurations with strict OS file permissions (such as `0600`).
