Privacy by design

The austenite.org website was designed to collect as little user data as possible. We don’t need to know who you are to do useful engineering work for you.

What we never collect

  • Your AI provider API keys (they live in your browser only)
  • Your prompts to the AI agent (they go directly from your browser to the AI provider)
  • Personally identifying information beyond what you voluntarily enter
  • Cross-site tracking cookies. We don’t use them.

What we do collect

  • Aggregate, anonymous request logs at the API layer (HTTP method, status code, latency) for capacity planning. No IP addresses are stored beyond 24 h.
  • If you submit data to a calc endpoint, that data is processed in-memory and discarded. We don’t persist your inputs.
  • If you generate a stamped PDF, the resulting hash is stored on our backend. Your inputs are stored encrypted with your tenant’s data-encryption key (which we cannot read without your action).

Cookies

We use one cookie: a CSRF token for the API endpoints. No analytics, no advertising, no fingerprinting.

Third parties

The frontend is served by Cloudflare (CDN). The API runs on a Hetzner VPS. AI calls go directly from your browser to the provider you configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.).

Your rights

Under GDPR / CCPA / equivalent: you can request deletion of any data we hold on you by writing to privacy@austenite.org. We’ll respond within 30 days.
