Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

1. Your data stays on your machine

DecisionNode stores all decisions, vector embeddings, configuration, and activity logs locally on your machine in ~/.decisionnode/. Nothing is sent to our servers. We don't have servers. There are no accounts, no telemetry, no analytics in the CLI or MCP server.

2. External API calls

The only external network call DecisionNode makes is to Google's Gemini API for generating vector embeddings. This happens when:

  • You add or edit a decision (auto-embedding)
  • You run decide search or decide embed

This uses your own Gemini API key. The decision text is sent to Google for embedding — refer to Google's AI terms for how they handle that data.

3. This website

This website (decisionnode.dev) serves documentation only. It does not use cookies, does not require sign-in, and does not collect personal information. The site may make a request to the GitHub API to display the repository's star count.
