Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Mariete Edge mobile application (“Edge”, the “App”). Edge is a fully on-device AI assistant. It runs entirely on your phone or tablet and does not require an account, an internet connection or a Mariete workspace to function.
Edge is privacy-distinct from the rest of the Mariete platform. The general Mariete Privacy Policy describes our cloud-based products (Builder, Inspector, Painter, and the other server-side agents). Where Edge’s behaviour differs, this Policy controls.
What stays on your device
Edge does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All data you create or import inside Edge stays on your device in encrypted local storage. That includes:
- Prompts, conversations and assistant outputs;
- Notes, documents and files you share with the App;
- App preferences, settings and on-device model selections;
- Any caches the App writes to operate offline.
Local data is encrypted at rest using the operating-system keychain (iOS Keychain or Android Keystore). When you uninstall the App, the operating system removes Edge’s sandbox and all locally stored data is deleted.
No tracking, no analytics, no telemetry
Edge does not include third-party analytics SDKs, advertising IDs, attribution frameworks or crash-reporting services. We do not track usage. We do not record session data. We do not maintain a backend that stores Edge user activity, because there is no Edge backend.
The App does not request the advertising identifier on iOS or Android, and does not integrate with the platform tracking frameworks (App Tracking Transparency, Privacy Sandbox).
Network activity
Edge runs offline by design. The App may make network requests in three narrowly defined cases:
- Model downloads. When you choose to download an on-device model, the App fetches model weights from a content delivery network. The request includes the model identifier and standard HTTP metadata (IP address, user agent). No account or user identifier is attached.
- App updates. The operating system handles update checks through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Edge does not perform its own update checks against a Mariete server.
- Diagnostics export. If you tap Settings → Diagnostics → Send to Mariete, the App uploads the diagnostic bundle you have explicitly exported. Nothing leaves the device unless you initiate this action.
Inference itself runs locally on your device using on-device-only models. Prompts and responses are not sent to Mariete servers, model providers, or any third party.
Diagnostics
Edge can produce a diagnostic bundle on request. The bundle includes App version, OS version, device model, available storage, recent non-personal error codes and the model registry state. It does not include conversation content, files you have shared with the App, or any account identifiers (Edge has no accounts).
You can export the bundle from Settings → Diagnostics, inspect its contents, and decide whether to share it with us by email or save it locally. We only receive a diagnostic bundle when you choose to send one.
Device permissions
Edge requests platform permissions only for features you choose to use. Permissions are requested in-context, with a plain-language prompt explaining why the App needs the access:
- Storage / file access. So Edge can read documents you select and write encrypted local data.
- Microphone. Optional. Required only if you use voice input. Audio is processed entirely on-device.
- Notifications. Optional. Used to surface background-task results.
Edge does not request access to your contacts, photos library, location, calendar, health data, SMS, or call history. You can revoke any granted permission at any time from your device settings.
Children's privacy
Edge is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because the App does not collect personal data, it does not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has installed Edge in a way that requires action on our part, contact privacy@mariete.ai.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes to Edge, App-store requirements or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, surface a notice inside the App. Continued use of the App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
