Privacy
In short: this site collects nothing, and the apps send nothing without you doing something first.
Updated on 17 October 2026
This site
- No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, no forms.
- Fonts and images are served by the site itself: your visit triggers no request to a third party.
- The language is picked from your browser’s settings; your choice is stored nowhere.
- The host, Vercel Inc., receives, like any web server, the IP address and technical headers of each request, to serve the pages and protect the service, and handles them under its own privacy policy. The site adds nothing to that.
The apps
- No account to create, no telemetry, no background updates.
- Your passwords and API keys are in the system’s keychain, never in a file.
- The AI assistant is off by default. Once on, it uses the provider you choose; with a local model, nothing leaves your computer.
- The apps have no server of their own: nothing goes through us.

|---|
| The account’s chosen model | The start of each message that arrives while Plume is open and passes the rules without AI, with your instructions, to decide whether to reply | Only with automatic replies turned on, and following the account’s AI access (your computer’s models, or a cloud model too) |

|---|
| No one else | No telemetry, no account, no background updates | Never |

AI providers
- Anthropic (Claude)
- With your own API key, kept in the keychain. What you send is handled under Anthropic’s terms for its API.
- Claude Code
- With your Claude plan, no API key: the app runs the claude installed on your machine, which uses its own sign-in. Off by default. It gets no terminal, no files, no web: in Ask mode it receives no tool at all, and the app stops it at once if it tries to use one.
- Local models
- Apple’s model runs on the Mac (with Apple Intelligence), in all four apps; Ollama and LM Studio are only reached on your own machine. Nothing leaves.
