Privacy Policy
Frontier Digital LLC · Last updated: March 23, 2026
1. Overview
Trayce is a local-first desktop application developed by Frontier Digital LLC, a company based in Ohio. Trayce builds a personal knowledge graph from the files and data on your device. It reads the folders you designate, extracts entities such as people, places, and concepts using artificial intelligence that runs locally on your computer, and organizes that information into a searchable graph.
All processing occurs on your device. Your files, your knowledge graph, and your search queries do not leave your computer unless you explicitly authorize it.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Frontier Digital does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Telemetry or usage analytics
- Crash reports or diagnostic data
- Device identifiers or fingerprints
- Search queries or search results
- The contents of your files or knowledge graph
- Account information of any kind
We have no means of identifying who you are, what you search for, or what information is contained in your knowledge graph.
3. Data Stored Locally
The following data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to Frontier Digital or any third party:
| Your files | Read and processed on your device. Never uploaded or transmitted. |
| Your knowledge graph | Stored in a local database on your device. |
| Search queries and results | Processed locally. Not visible to Frontier Digital. |
| Conversation imports | Processed entirely on your device. |
| Application settings | Stored locally on your device. |
4. Local AI Processing
Trayce integrates Ollama to run artificial intelligence models directly on your device. All file reading, entity extraction, and knowledge graph construction occur on your hardware. The contents of your files are never transmitted to a cloud-based AI service by Trayce.
Local AI extraction may be enabled or disabled at any time from within the application's Settings.
5. Network Requests
Trayce makes the following outbound network requests. None of these requests include personal data:
Model downloads
Upon initial setup, Trayce downloads AI models required for local processing. These include one model from the Ollama registry and one embedding model (approximately 23 MB) from Hugging Face. No personal data is transmitted during this process. Models are cached locally and are not re-downloaded on subsequent launches.
Update checks
Trayce periodically checks for software updates via GitHub Releases. This is a standard HTTP request containing no personal data. You retain full control over when updates are installed.
AI application integration
If you choose to connect Trayce to a third-party AI application, certain data from your knowledge graph may be shared. This process is described in detail in Section 6 below.
6. Third-Party AI Application Integration
Trayce may optionally be connected to AI applications installed on your device, such as Claude Desktop, allowing those applications to query your local knowledge graph. This integration is entirely optional. It is the only mechanism by which data from your device may be shared with a third party.
How data sharing works
- Authorization required. Trayce does not initiate connections to external applications. All integrations must be configured by you.
- Request received locally. When a connected AI application requests data, Trayce receives and processes that request on your device.
- Explicit approval required. Before any data is shared, Trayce displays a prompt identifying every entity and file the requesting application seeks to access. You may approve, deselect specific items, or decline entirely.
- Data transferred to the AI application. Upon your approval, the selected data is passed to the AI application on your device. Frontier Digital does not control how that application handles the data thereafter.
Available controls
- Configure specific request types to be automatically approved without a prompt.
- Permanently block individual files from being shared under any circumstances.
- Disable the approval system entirely (not recommended).
7. Your Rights and Controls
Because all data is stored locally on your device, you retain full control at all times.
| Access | Your complete knowledge graph is browsable within the application. |
| Deletion | You may delete individual entities, specific files, or your entire knowledge graph at any time from within the application. |
| Revocation | You may disconnect AI applications, block specific files from sharing, or disable the MCP server at any time. |
For users subject to the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or similar applicable law: Frontier Digital LLC does not hold personal data on its servers. As we have never received your personal data, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete. The sole exception is the AI application integration described in Section 6, which requires your explicit prior authorization.
8. Data Summary
| Data | Where it lives | Transmitted? |
|---|---|---|
| Your files | Your device | Only with your explicit approval |
| Knowledge graph | Your device | Only with your explicit approval |
| Search queries | Your device | Never |
| AI models | Your device (cached after setup) | Downloaded once on initial setup |
| Application settings | Your device | Never |
| Telemetry | Not collected | N/A |
9. Children
Trayce is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Changes to This Policy
Frontier Digital reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be distributed with application updates. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of Trayce following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
