Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-19

Overview

Caladan Pal is a desktop AI pet app for Windows and macOS. Our privacy approach is simple: collect as little as possible.

Caladan Pal has no user accounts, analytics, or telemetry. We do not operate a backend server for conversations, so we never see or store your chats. You choose and connect to a third-party model provider using your own API key, and you pay that provider directly.

What We Collect

We do not collect personal profiles, chat histories, usage statistics, behavioral data, or crash telemetry.

When the app checks for or downloads updates, it connects to an Aliyun OSS static CDN. Like any normal network request, the CDN may process basic connection information such as your IP address and request timestamp. Caladan Pal does not use the update system to create a personal profile.

How Your API Keys Are Stored

You bring your own LLM API keys. They remain only on your computer and are encrypted using your operating system’s secure storage through Electron safeStorage.

Your keys are never uploaded to us. We have no backend server that receives or stores them. You should still protect access to your computer and operating-system account, and revoke a key through its provider if you believe it may have been exposed.

Where Your Chats Go

When you send a message, it travels directly from your computer to the model provider you selected. Caladan Pal does not relay, inspect, log, or store the conversation.

We cannot read your prompts, model responses, or chat history from a server. How messages are processed, retained, or used by a provider depends on that provider’s own practices.

Third-Party Model Providers

Caladan Pal supports DeepSeek, Qwen by Alibaba Cloud, Kimi by Moonshot, Zhipu GLM, Doubao through Volcano Engine Ark, SiliconFlow, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude.

Information you send to a provider is governed by that provider’s privacy policy, terms, and retention rules. We recommend reviewing them before adding an API key or sharing sensitive information. Caladan Pal does not control how third parties process data.

Auto-Update

The app checks for and downloads updates from an Aliyun OSS static CDN. This creates a normal network request that may include an IP address, timestamp, and technical information needed to deliver the update.

Update requests do not include your API keys or conversations. No account is required, and update traffic is not used by Caladan Pal for analytics or behavioral tracking.

Children

Caladan Pal is not specifically designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. Because messages go directly to the selected model provider, parents or guardians should confirm that use complies with that provider’s age requirements and privacy terms.

Changes

We may update this policy if the app’s features or data practices change. The current version will be published with the project or on the official website. Material changes will be explained clearly.
