Is PortableMind truly private AI?

Yes. The USB runs models locally on your Windows or macOS machine. No prompts, outputs, or session data leave the device. There is no cloud connection, no account, and no telemetry.

Does PortableMind send my prompts to a server?

No. PortableMind is fully offline AI — every inference runs on your laptop. Nothing is transmitted externally.

How is PortableMind different from ChatGPT for privacy?

ChatGPT sends every query to OpenAI's servers, which may retain data for training or legal discovery. PortableMind runs on your hardware — there is no server to breach or subpoena.

Is there any AI that doesn't track you?

Yes — offline AI. PortableMind runs the entire model on your device with no network calls. It is designed from the ground up to keep your usage completely private.

Does PortableMind collect usage data?

No. The USB has no telemetry, no analytics, and no reporting back to us. We only receive order and shipping information from purchases.

Why most AI is not private

Every query you send to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or any other cloud AI goes to a remote server. That server may log your session, retain data for model training, or be subject to legal requests. For sensitive work — legal documents, medical notes, business strategy, personal research — cloud AI is a real privacy risk.

The only AI with genuine privacy guarantees is AI that never leaves your device.

How PortableMind protects your data

All inference runs on your laptop — no cloud calls, no API keys.
No prompts or outputs leave the machine during a session.
No account creation, no login, no session tokens stored externally.
No telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting phoned home.
WiFi can be fully disabled — AI keeps working in airplane mode.

Use cases that require private AI

Legal professionals

Attorney-client privilege requires keeping client matter information off third-party servers.

Healthcare workers

PHI and clinical notes must not go to vendor servers that can receive HIPAA compliance challenges.

Journalists & sources

Source protection requires communications that cannot be subpoenaed from a cloud provider.

Business confidential

Pricing, M&A, strategy, and HR decisions belong on your hardware, not a cloud vendor's logs.

Product behavior

The PortableMind USB executes entirely offline. Your data is processed on the Windows or macOS device you plug into. The USB does not phone home, does not require an account, and does not transmit prompts or outputs to us. Sessions can run with networking fully disabled.
