Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 13, 2026
The short version: PocketLLM processes everything on your device. We don't collect your data, track your usage, or have access to your conversations. Your privacy isn't just a feature — it's our architecture.
1. Information We Don't Collect
PocketLLM is designed from the ground up to operate without collecting personal information:
- No user accounts — You never sign up or log in. There are no usernames, passwords, or profiles.
- No conversation data — Your conversations with AI models are stored exclusively on your device using encrypted local storage. We never see, access, or transmit your conversations.
- No usage analytics — The app contains zero telemetry, analytics SDKs, or tracking code.
- No advertising identifiers — We don't use IDFA, fingerprinting, or any form of device tracking.
- No crash reporting — We don't include third-party crash reporting services.
2. On-Device Processing
All AI inference happens locally on your device:
- AI models run on your iPhone's Neural Engine, GPU, or CPU.
- Your messages are never sent to any server for processing.
- Model responses are generated entirely on-device.
- The app works fully offline after initial model download.
3. Network Requests
PocketLLM makes network requests only in two situations:
- Model downloads — When you choose to download an AI model, the app downloads model files from Hugging Face (huggingface.co). This is user-initiated and required only once per model. No personal data is sent with these requests.
- Subscription management — If you subscribe to PocketLLM Pro, Apple's StoreKit handles all payment processing. We never see your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details.
4. Local Data Storage
Data stored on your device includes:
- Conversations — Stored in an encrypted Core Data database on your device.
- AI models — Downloaded model files stored in the app's sandboxed container. You can delete models at any time.
- App preferences — Settings like selected model, theme, and biometric lock preference stored via UserDefaults.
- License acceptances — Records of which open-source model licenses you've accepted.
All local data is protected by iOS sandboxing. If you enable biometric lock, your conversations are additionally protected by Face ID or Touch ID.
5. Biometric Authentication
PocketLLM optionally supports Face ID and Touch ID to lock the app. Biometric data is handled entirely by iOS — we never access, store, or process biometric information. Authentication is performed by the Secure Enclave on your device.
6. Children's Privacy
PocketLLM is rated 4+ and does not collect data from any user, including children under 13. Since no personal information is collected, COPPA compliance is inherent in our design.
7. Third-Party Services
- Apple App Store / StoreKit — Handles subscription purchases. Subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
- Hugging Face — Hosts AI model files for download. Subject to Hugging Face's Privacy Policy. No PocketLLM user data is shared with Hugging Face.
This website (pocketllm.app) uses Google Analytics for visitor statistics. The PocketLLM iOS app does not include Google Analytics or any analytics.
8. Data Deletion
Since all data is stored locally on your device:
- Delete individual conversations within the app.
- Delete downloaded AI models within the app's settings.
- Uninstalling PocketLLM removes all app data from your device.
There is no server-side data to request deletion of.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Since we don't collect email addresses, we encourage you to review this page periodically.
