How we use your data

Data type	Purpose
Email	Sign-in, and seat-availability alerts if you opt in.

AI processing & chat logging

When you chat with Husky, your messages and relevant context (such as your Memory Notes) are sent to a large-language-model provider — Google Gemini by default, and at times OpenAI or Anthropic — for processing.

Server-side logging

To operate, debug, and keep Husky safe, your chat messages and the assistant's responses may be logged on our servers and tied to your account. We never sell this data or use it to train third-party models. You can request deletion by contacting us.

Guest Mode

Toggle Guest Mode in chat to stop Husky from reading or writing your Memory Notes. Note that it does not stop the operational logging described above.
