# Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** February 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how SkyAI ("the Bot") collects, uses, and stores information when used within a Valour server.

---

## 1. Information Collected

SkyAI collects only the minimum data required to function.

### Information Stored (In Memory Only)

- Channel IDs
- Message content used for AI conversation context
- Message role (user / assistant / system)

### Information Not Stored

- Direct Messages (DMs)
- User credentials
- Email addresses
- Passwords
- IP addresses
- Analytics or tracking data

Conversation history exists only in memory and is erased when the bot restarts or when the `s.cm` command is used.

---

## 2. Purpose of Data Collection

Stored information is used exclusively to:

1. Maintain conversational context within a channel
2. Generate AI responses using prior messages
3. Enable core bot command functionality

Data is not used for marketing, advertising, profiling, or analytics.

---

## 3. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored temporarily in RAM on the hosting server.

No conversation data is persisted to disk by default.

The operator of the self-hosted instance is responsible for securing the hosting environment.

---

## 4. Third-Party Processing

SkyAI forwards message content to a self-hosted AI backend via Open WebUI.

Depending on configuration, this may include:

- Ollama (local model execution)
- Other self-hosted LLM providers configured by the operator

SkyAI does not transmit data to external cloud AI providers unless explicitly configured by the host operator.

---

## 5. Data Retention

Conversation data is retained only during runtime.

Data is removed when:

- The bot process stops
- The bot restarts
- The `s.cm` command is executed

---

## 6. Self-Hosted Responsibility

SkyAI is designed for self-hosting.

The hosting operator is responsible for:

- Server security
- Network configuration
- API key protection
- Compliance with applicable laws

---

## 7. Changes to This Policy

If data collection practices change in future versions, this Privacy Policy will be updated prior to implementation.

Continued use of the Bot after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
