Privacy Policy for Cognautic Desktop
Last Updated: December 28, 2025
1. Introduction
Cognautic Desktop (“Cognautic”, “the Application”, “we”, “our”) is an agentic AI desktop
application designed to provide AI-driven system interaction through a graphical interface.
This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled, how AI-initiated actions work, and where
responsibility lies when using Cognautic Desktop.
By installing or using Cognautic Desktop, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
2. Software Availability and Distribution
Cognautic Desktop is source-available software.
Users may view, modify, and build the source code for personal use only. Commercial use,
redistribution, resale, sublicensing, or offering the software as a service is strictly
prohibited without explicit written permission. Modified versions may not be distributed for
commercial or public use.
3. Data Collection and Storage
Cognautic Desktop does not collect personal data by default, does not send user data to
Cognautic-controlled servers, and primarily operates locally on the user’s machine.
Any data processed by the application remains under the user’s control unless explicitly
transmitted to a third-party AI model provider chosen by the user. Cognautic Desktop is not
responsible for the privacy practices of external AI providers.
4. Agentic AI Behavior and Tool Execution
Cognautic Desktop functions as an agentic AI interface. The AI model may request execution of
system-level tools, including but not limited to file access, command execution, or
automation.
4.1 Confirmation Mode (Default): Each AI-requested tool call is displayed to
the user. No tool is executed without explicit user approval.
4.2 No-Confirmation Mode (Advanced / Unsafe Mode): Allows tool execution
without user approval. By enabling this mode, the user acknowledges that actions occur
automatically and may affect system stability. Cognautic Desktop assumes NO responsibility
for damage caused in this mode.
5. Liability Disclaimer and User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for the AI model you choose, the permissions you grant, and the
mode you enable. Cognautic Desktop is not liable for AI model behavior, user-approved
actions, or actions executed in No-Confirmation Mode.
6. Security Considerations
Users are strongly advised to review tool calls carefully, avoid No-Confirmation Mode unless
fully understood, and avoid running with elevated system privileges.
7. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated at any time. Continued use of the application constitutes
acceptance of the updated policy.
