1. THE SHORT VERSION
Premsys is a private AI assistant that runs its language models directly on
your iPhone. We do not operate an account system, we do not have a server that
stores your content, and we cannot read your conversations.
Your chats, attachments, documents, generated files, Health data, calendar
entries, and reminders are processed and stored on your device only. They are
never uploaded to us and never transmitted to any third party by Premsys.
There are exactly four situations in which this app makes a network connection,
and all four are described in plain language in Section 4. The most important
one to understand is web search: if you turn on the Web Search tool, the search
phrase for that request leaves your device and is sent, through our search
relay, to Brave Search. At that point the search phrase is handled under Brave's
privacy policy, not this one.
We collect no analytics. We use no advertising or tracking SDKs. We do not
build user profiles, we do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not
sell or share personal information. Premsys does not use Apple's App Tracking
Transparency framework because it performs no tracking.
2. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER-SIDE PROFILE
Premsys has no sign-up, no login, no username, no password, and no user
account. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or date of
birth. We hold no server-side record that corresponds to you or your device.
Because there is no account, there is nothing for us to look up, export, or
delete on your behalf. You are the sole holder of your Premsys data, and it
lives in the app's sandbox on your device.
3. WHAT IS STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
The following are created and kept on your device, inside the app's private
storage area, and are not transmitted to us:
- Conversations, including every message you send and every response the
on-device model generates.
- Photos, video frames, audio files, and documents you attach to a chat, plus
the thumbnails shown in the transcript.
- Text extracted on-device from your attachments, including Vision OCR text
from images and scanned PDFs, and Apple on-device speech transcripts from
audio.
- Documents and folders you add to the local knowledge library (RAG),
including the local search index built from them.
- Files Premsys generates for you (PDF, Excel, Word), saved to Generated
Files.
- Your settings: selected model, enabled AI functions, sampler values, your
custom system prompt, dictation preferences, and the count of free web
searches used in the current calendar month.
- Any AI model you choose to download.
How to delete this data:
- Delete individual chats and library documents inside the app.
- Delete the app from your iPhone to remove all of it at once, including
downloaded models. iOS deletes the entire app container.
Device backups. Premsys does not sync your data to iCloud and contains no
CloudKit or iCloud Drive integration. However, if you back up your iPhone
(iCloud Backup or an encrypted computer backup), the app's stored content is
included in that backup the same way other apps' data is, and that backup is
governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy, not this one. Downloaded model
files are deliberately excluded from backups because of their size.
Files app visibility. Premsys exposes its Documents folder to the iOS Files
app, so files you add and files Premsys generates are visible under "On My
iPhone > Premsys." This is local device access only.
Device security. Your Premsys data is protected by iOS app sandboxing and
device encryption. Anyone with your unlocked iPhone can open the app and read
your chats. Use a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.
4. WHEN DATA LEAVES YOUR DEVICE
This is the complete list. There are no other outbound connections in the app.
4.1 WEB SEARCH (off unless you enable it)
If you enable the Web Search tool in AI functions and ask a question that
requires current public information, Premsys sends a short public search phrase
over the network.
- What is sent: only the public search phrase derived by the app from your
visible request, capped at 400 characters, plus a result count and a
safe-search setting. From your iPhone to our relay it travels inside the
request body rather than in a web address, so it does not appear in
ordinary web-server access logs on that hop. Our relay then passes the
phrase to Brave's search API as a standard search request, so Brave
necessarily receives the phrase itself — that is what performing a search
means.
- What is NOT sent: your conversation history, your knowledge-library
documents, your Health data, your calendar or reminders, your files, your
photos, your custom system prompt, or anything the AI model itself proposes
as a query. The app deliberately ignores the model's proposed query text
and sends only the phrase derived from your own visible request. Private or
device-sourced questions do not trigger a search at all.
- Where it goes: the phrase is sent to the Premsys search relay, a small
Cloudflare Worker we operate at premsys-search.premsys.workers.dev. The
relay adds our Brave Search API credential (which is never present in the
app) and forwards the phrase to Brave Search. Brave's results are returned
to your device unchanged.
- What we do with it: nothing. The relay is stateless. It does not log,
store, or retain your search phrases or the results, and it writes no
database record. It applies a rate limit keyed to the connecting IP address
to prevent abuse of our shared Brave credential; that IP address is handled
transiently by Cloudflare's rate-limiting service and is not stored by us or
used to identify you.
- Third parties: Brave Search receives and processes the search phrase under
Brave's own privacy policy (https://brave.com/privacy/). Cloudflare, Inc.
is our infrastructure provider for the relay and processes the connection
(including your IP address) as part of delivering it, under Cloudflare's
privacy policy. Once a search phrase reaches Brave, its handling is
governed by Brave, and we have no control over it.
- Your control: turn Web Search off at any time in AI functions. With it off,
Premsys makes no search requests at all. The search connection uses an
ephemeral session with no cookies and no caching, so search traffic leaves
nothing behind on your device.
- Free and Pro allowance: the count of free searches used this month is kept
on your device, not on a server. We do not maintain a server-side usage
record tied to you.
Practical advice: treat anything you ask with Web Search enabled the way you
would treat typing into any search engine. Do not include information you would
not put into a search box.
4.2 OPTIONAL AI MODEL DOWNLOADS
The Gemma models are not bundled in the app. If you choose to download Gemma 4
E2B (about 2.59 GB) or Gemma 4 E4B (about 3.66 GB), your device downloads the
model file directly from Hugging Face (huggingface.co). This is an ordinary
file download: no content of yours, and no information about you, is sent.
Hugging Face's servers may record the request in their standard hosting logs,
including your IP address, under Hugging Face's privacy policy. Downloads occur
only when you start them.
4.3 WEATHER (only if you connect it)
If you connect Weather on the Today dashboard, Premsys requests your
approximate location from iOS and sends coordinates directly to Apple's Weather
service (WeatherKit) to retrieve current conditions and the forecast.
- Premsys requests reduced-accuracy location and additionally rounds the
coordinate to roughly a two-kilometer grid in code before use, so even if
you have Precise Location enabled system-wide, Weather receives only a
coarse area.
- Premsys does not store your location and does not transmit it anywhere
except to Apple's Weather service for that forecast.
- Weather data is provided by Apple Weather; Apple's privacy policy applies
to that request.
- Disconnect Weather at any time in AI functions, or revoke location access
in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
4.4 SUBSCRIPTIONS
Premsys Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple processes the
transaction. We never see, receive, or handle your payment card, Apple Account
credentials, or billing address. The app verifies your subscription status
using Apple's StoreKit framework on the device itself; that verification does
not contact any Premsys server. Apple provides us only with aggregated,
non-identifying sales and subscription reporting. Apple's privacy policy
governs the purchase.
4.5 SIRI, SHORTCUTS, AND THE ACTION BUTTON
Premsys offers "Ask Premsys" and "Start New Premsys Chat" App Intents. If you
invoke Premsys through Siri, Shortcuts, or the Action Button, your spoken or
typed request is first handled by Apple's system services and then passed to
Premsys. Apple's privacy policy governs that step. Once the text reaches
Premsys, it is processed on-device like any other message.
5. DEVICE PERMISSIONS AND HOW EACH ONE IS USED
Every permission below is optional, is requested only at the moment you first
use the feature, and can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy &
Security. The Today dashboard never triggers a permission prompt on its own —
you connect each source by tapping its card. Sources you have not connected are
omitted from AI prompts entirely.
Microphone and Speech Recognition. Used for dictation in the composer and for
transcribing audio files you attach. Transcription is forced to on-device
recognition; the app refuses to fall back to Apple's server-based speech
recognition. Your voice audio is not uploaded by Premsys.
Health (HealthKit). Read-only. Used to display your dashboard and to let the
on-device model answer your questions about your own data. You choose which
metrics to share in Apple's Health permission screen.
- Premsys never writes to, adds to, or modifies Health data.
- Health data is never transmitted off your device by Premsys — not to us,
not to the search relay, not to any third party, under any setting.
- Health data is never used for advertising, marketing, remarketing, or any
similar service, and is never used for data mining or sold, shared, or
disclosed to any third party, including data brokers, information
resellers, or advertising platforms.
- Health data is used solely to provide the app's dashboard and on-device AI
functionality for you.
- Revoke access at any time in iOS Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices.
Calendar and Reminders. Read access is used for the dashboard and for
on-device summaries such as "Brief my day." Premsys creates an event or a
reminder only when you explicitly ask it to. Calendar and reminder contents are
never sent off the device.
Location. Approximate location only, and only while you are using the app, and
only if you connect Weather. See Section 4.3.
Photos, Videos, Files, and Documents. Media and documents you select are copied
into the app and processed on-device (image analysis, OCR, frame sampling,
document text extraction). Nothing you select is uploaded. When you browse
Files, iCloud Drive and installed providers such as Dropbox or Google Drive may
appear in Apple's file picker; those services are governed by their own
policies, and Premsys receives only the specific file you pick.
6. WHAT WE DO NOT DO
- We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, crash telemetry, event
logs, or diagnostic uploads. The app contains no analytics, attribution, or
crash-reporting SDK of any kind.
- We do not serve advertising and do not integrate any ad network.
- We do not track you across apps or websites and use no tracking domains.
- We do not build advertising profiles or behavioral profiles.
- We do not sell personal information, and we do not "share" personal
information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are
defined under U.S. state privacy laws.
- We do not use your content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model.
Your conversations never reach us, so they cannot be used for training. The
on-device models do not learn from your data or change their weights.
- We do not have a mechanism to read, recover, or restore your data, and we
cannot recover data you delete.
7. CHILDREN
Premsys is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from children. The app collects no personal information
from any user, so there is no children's data for us to hold. Premsys is a
general-purpose AI assistant whose on-device models can produce mature or
inaccurate content; please observe the app's App Store age rating, and use
Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions to manage access for minors.
8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete,
port, or restrict processing of your personal data, or to opt out of sale,
sharing, or targeted advertising (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the
California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, and similar U.S. state laws).
Because Premsys stores no personal data on any server we control and holds no
identifier that maps to you, we hold nothing to disclose, correct, port, or
delete. You exercise these rights directly and completely:
- Access and portability: your data is on your iPhone. Chats are visible in
the app, and files are accessible via the iOS Files app.
- Deletion: delete individual chats and documents in the app, or delete the
app to erase everything it holds.
- Restriction: turn off any AI function, disconnect any dashboard source, or
revoke any iOS permission at any time.
- Opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising: nothing to opt out of.
We do none of these.
For the limited processing that does occur (the search relay handling a search
phrase and connection IP address in order to deliver a search you requested),
our legal basis under the GDPR is performance of the service you asked for and
our legitimate interest in preventing abuse of our search credential. That
processing is transient and produces no stored record.
If you believe we hold data about you, write to devops@premsys.ai. We will
respond within the period required by applicable law, though in most cases the
honest answer will be that we hold nothing. EU and UK users may also complain
to their local data protection authority.
9. INTERNATIONAL USERS
Premsys processes your content on your own device, wherever you are. The only
cross-border transfer that can occur is a web search phrase you initiate, which
is routed through Cloudflare's global network to Brave Search, whose
infrastructure may be located in the United States or elsewhere. Optional model
downloads and Apple Weather requests are likewise served from those providers'
infrastructure.
10. DATA RETENTION
We retain no personal data, so we have no retention period to state. Your
device retains your Premsys content until you delete it or delete the app. The
search relay retains nothing after a request completes.
11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
If we change how Premsys handles data, we will update this policy and change
the "Last updated" date above. Material changes — in particular, any change
that would cause additional data to leave your device — will also be reflected
in the in-app policy text and in the App Store privacy disclosures before the
change ships. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the
revised policy.
