Privacy and data handling.

Elenchos runs locally on your machine. We do not collect your source code, task files, agent prompts, or test results.

Local-first principle

Elenchos is an open-source command-line tool. It does not run a central backend, does not collect telemetry, and does not store your project files on remote servers.

Documentation website

This documentation website is delivered as static pages. Like standard web hosts, the hosting infrastructure may record basic technical details in server logs (such as IP addresses, browser user agents, and requested URLs) to maintain site security.

  • No tracking cookies, marketing pixels, or analytics trackers are used on this site.
  • No personal profiles or visitor tracking databases are maintained.
  • Your theme preference (light or dark mode) is stored locally in your browser.

CLI data flow

When you run Elenchos on your workstation or in CI, all operations happen inside your local environment:

  • Repository files: Elenchos creates isolated Git worktrees on your local disk. Your source code never leaves your machine through Elenchos.
  • Run artifacts: Evidence, command logs, and test output generated during verification are written to your local .elenchos/runs folder.
  • Configuration: Project settings in .elenchos/config.json remain on your local disk.

Third-party tools and services

Elenchos coordinates with external tools that you configure. These tools operate under their own privacy policies:

  • Kane CLI: When Kane runs browser verification, requests and test execution data pass through Kane CLI according to your Kane account settings.
  • Coding Agents: Any coding agent CLI (such as Claude Code, Codex, or custom tools) communicates with its respective API provider using your credentials.
  • Package Registries: Installing Elenchos via npm connects directly to npm registry infrastructure.

Credentials and API keys

Elenchos never asks you to submit API keys or credentials to a remote Elenchos service. Store your Kane and agent keys in environment variables or your system credential manager.

Policy updates

If we update how the documentation site or tool handles data, changes will be published directly in this repository.
