Privacy, Trust, and Your Data

Ounie's stance is simple: your knowledge is yours. Private by default, shareable by your choice, and present everywhere you work.

Private by default

Brains are private unless you decide to share or publish them. You choose what to make public, who to invite, and what stays just for you — and you can change that at any time.

Grounded and verifiable

Answers are grounded strictly in your sources and cited, and the model can't invent a source or a link — citations resolve against the actual pages Ounie retrieved. When the answer isn't in your brain, Ounie says so. This is what makes the output trustworthy rather than merely plausible.

Secure storage and safe rendering

Uploaded files go directly to secure cloud storage through presigned URLs, so the server never proxies your bytes, and your originals are kept immutable. Rendered content is sanitized before display.

Your data, your control

You can delete any source, a whole brain, or your entire account at any time. There's no lock-in on your knowledge — export and deletion are yours to use.

The principles behind it

• Your knowledge is yours. Private by default; you decide what to share and can take it back.
• Grounded, never guessed. Answers come only from your sources, with citations; when the answer isn't there, Ounie says so.
• Knowledge should compound. Every source makes the whole brain smarter and more connected.
• Capture should be effortless. If saving takes thought, it won't happen — so Ounie meets you where you already are.
• Augment, don't replace. Ounie is a thinking partner that amplifies your judgment; it doesn't think for you.
