Security
Privacy isn't a setting.
It's the structure.
Most tools ask you to trust their privacy policy. Vantic IQ is built so the question doesn't arise. There's no pathway to your content in the architecture — not a configuration option, not a future feature, not something that could be switched on. What follows is exactly how that works.
How it's built
Six architectural facts.
01
No content pathway
Vantic IQ detects workflow signals: which app you're in, how long, in what order. There is no code path that reaches screen content, file contents, or typed text. This isn't a privacy mode — it's the only mode.
02
Content-adjacent fields hashed at ingestion
Fields that could carry incidental meaning — window titles, filenames — are SHA-256 hashed the moment they're captured. The original value is never stored, never transmitted, never retrievable. Only the hash persists, used solely to detect repetition and frequency.
03
Sensitive apps auto-excluded
Australian banking apps (CommBank, Westpac, ANZ, NAB, Macquarie, Bendigo, ING) and password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Keychain) are excluded before workflow signals are processed from those categories. This runs automatically — it is not a user setting and cannot be disabled.
04
Pattern detection runs locally
The Pattern Engine runs on your device. Raw workflow signals never leave your machine. Only derived scores and hashed signals sync to Supabase — hosted on AWS ap-southeast-2, Australian infrastructure only.
05
90-day retention, then hard-deleted
Raw workflow signal records are automatically purged after 90 days. Pattern scores persist as derived insight and are user-deletable at any time via the Privacy Hub. Verbatim conversation is session-scoped — it does not persist between sessions.
06
Every event has an audit trail
Every workflow signal event generates a verifiable audit record. Enforcement actions — exclusions, hashing, discards — are logged and synced. The audit trail is the evidence layer, not the claim layer.
