Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how UcoWorker (operated by AI4ALPHA INC.) collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal information when you use the Service, including the desktop application, iOS mobile application, CLI, web dashboard, and connected channels. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable Canadian privacy legislation.

Last updated May 9, 2026

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, password (stored in hashed form), and display name. If you subscribe to a paid plan or purchase credits, we collect billing information through our payment processor (Stripe); we do not store your credit card number, expiration date, or CVC on our servers.

1.2 Conversation and Prompt Data. When you use server-backed AI model access, your prompts and responses are transmitted through our servers to third-party AI model providers. We do NOT retain or store your prompts, responses, or conversation content on our servers. All prompt and response content is discarded immediately after proxying to the upstream provider. Only the following anonymized usage metadata is retained for billing: input/output/cached token counts, cost in USD, provider and endpoint name, model name, request ID, and timestamp. This data is not used to train AI models.

1.3 Local Workspace Data. UcoWorker is designed with a local-first architecture. Files, code, and workspace data you work with remain on your device by default. The Agent processes this data locally on your machine. We do not access, collect, or store the contents of your local files unless they are included in a conversation sent to server-backed models.

1.4 Usage and Telemetry Data. We may collect anonymized usage data such as feature usage frequency, credit consumption patterns, error logs, performance metrics, and session duration. This data does not include the content of your conversations or files.

1.5 Device and Technical Information. We may collect your operating system type and version (including iOS version and device model), application version, IP address, browser type (for web dashboard), and general geographic location derived from your IP address.

1.6 iOS Mobile Application Data. The UcoWorker iOS app is a companion app that mirrors and controls the UcoWorker desktop agent. The iOS app collects: your account credentials for authentication (stored securely in the iOS Keychain); device information (iOS version, device model) for compatibility; and conversation data received from the desktop agent via our server relay. The iOS app does not run AI models, execute agent tools, or access files on your iPhone. Conversation content displayed in the iOS app is streamed in real time from your paired desktop and is not persistently stored on the iOS device beyond local cache. Uninstalling the iOS app removes all locally stored data including Keychain credentials.

1.7 Connected Channel Data. When you connect messaging platforms (Telegram, Slack, Email, etc.), we collect the minimum data necessary to operate the integration, such as bot tokens, channel identifiers, and message content routed through the Service.

1.8 Google Account Data. When you connect your Google account, the UcoWorker agent may access Gmail messages (read, search, send), Google Drive files (read, list, download), Google Calendar events (view, create, manage), Google Sheets spreadsheets (read, edit), Google Docs documents (read, create), Google Slides presentations (read, create), Google Tasks (view, manage), and Google Contacts (read) using the OAuth permissions you explicitly grant. This data is processed locally on your device by the agent to complete tasks you request.

1.9 BYOK Mode. If you use Bring Your Own Key mode, your API keys are stored locally on your device in encrypted form. We do not transmit or store your API keys on our servers. In BYOK mode, your prompts are sent directly to the third-party provider without passing through our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Service Operation. To authenticate you, process AI model requests, track credit usage, manage subscriptions, and provide the core functionality of the Service.

Service Improvement. To analyze anonymized usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, improve reliability and performance, and develop new features. We do not use your conversation content or files for this purpose.

Communication. To send you transactional emails (account verification, password resets, billing receipts), service announcements, and, with your consent, product updates and marketing communications.

Safety and Security. To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Service.

Legal Compliance. To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests.

We do NOT use your Content, conversation data, or prompts to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI or machine learning models.

3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 Third-Party AI Model Providers. When you use server-backed model access, your prompts are proxied to third-party AI model providers for processing. UcoWorker does not store or retain your prompts or responses — we act solely as a pass-through proxy. Each provider's retention, use, and privacy practices are governed by their independent policies. You are responsible for reviewing: Anthropic Privacy, OpenAI Privacy, Google Privacy. UcoWorker (AI4ALPHA INC.) bears no responsibility for how these providers handle your data after receipt.

3.2 Payment Processor. Stripe processes your payment information. We share the minimum information necessary for billing (email, subscription details). Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment data.

3.3 Connected Platform Providers. When you use channel integrations, the data necessary for those integrations is shared with the respective platform providers (Telegram, Slack, Microsoft, etc.) under their terms.

3.4 Google API Services. UcoWorker's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google OAuth authentication and data access occur directly between the UcoWorker desktop application on your device and Google's servers — your Google credentials and data do not pass through our servers (api.ucoworker.com). The Google Workspace services accessed may include: Gmail (read, search, send), Google Drive (read, list, download), Google Calendar (view, create, manage events), Google Sheets (read, edit spreadsheets), Google Docs (read, create documents), Google Slides (read, create presentations), Google Tasks (view, manage task lists), and Google Contacts (read contact information). Specifically: (a) we only access Google user data that you explicitly authorize through the OAuth consent screen; (b) we use Google data solely to provide the features you requested (e.g., reading emails, managing files, viewing calendar events, editing spreadsheets); (c) we do not use Google user data for advertising or transfer it to third parties for unrelated purposes; (d) we do not use Google user data to train AI models; (e) a human can review your Google data only with your affirmative consent, for security purposes, or to comply with applicable law.

3.4.1 OAuth Authorization. UcoWorker uses Google OAuth 2.0 to request access to specific Google services. The authorization flow occurs directly between your device and Google's servers. You will see a Google consent screen listing the exact permissions (scopes) requested. You can grant or deny each permission. OAuth tokens are stored locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers.

3.4.2 Google Data Storage. Google API data (emails, files, tokens) is stored exclusively on your local device. OAuth tokens are stored in encrypted local storage. No Google user data is uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted through UcoWorker's servers (api.ucoworker.com).

3.4.3 Google Data Retention. Google OAuth tokens are retained on your device until you disconnect the integration or revoke access. When you revoke access via Google Account settings (myaccount.google.com/permissions), all locally stored tokens are invalidated. Any cached Google Workspace data (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Slides, Tasks, Contacts) is stored only in your local agent memory and can be cleared at any time.

3.4.4 Revoking Google Access. You can disconnect Google services at any time by: (a) revoking access in your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions, (b) removing the connection in UcoWorker's desktop settings, or (c) deleting your UcoWorker account. Upon disconnection, all locally stored Google OAuth tokens are invalidated.

3.5 Service Providers. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating the Service, such as cloud hosting providers, analytics services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.

3.6 Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

3.7 Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your information.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Retention

Account Data. We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

Conversation Data. Server-side conversation logs are retained for the duration of your account. You may delete individual conversations through the Service. Deleted conversations are purged from our systems within 30 days.

Local Data (Desktop/CLI). Files and workspace data on your computer are entirely under your control. Uninstalling the desktop application does not automatically delete local data; you may manually remove application data directories.

Local Data (iOS). The iOS app stores authentication tokens in the iOS Keychain and conversation cache in local storage. Uninstalling the iOS app automatically removes all locally stored data. No user files or workspace data are stored on the iOS device.

Usage Data. Anonymized usage and telemetry data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

Billing Records. We retain billing and transaction records for a minimum of 7 years as required by Canadian tax law.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including: encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest; hashed password storage; access controls limiting employee access to personal information on a need-to-know basis; regular security assessments; and monitoring for unauthorized access attempts.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials, API keys, and any sensitive information in your workspace.

In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and applicable regulatory authorities as required by law, including within the timeframes mandated by PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation.
