Privacy & Trust

A personal intelligence that knows everything about you demands a level of trust no existing product has earned. alwyse makes privacy a technical fact you can verify — not just a promise you have to believe.

Privacy principles

  • Your memory is yours. No ads. No resale. Your cognitive graph exists to serve you.
  • Opt-in capture. You choose which sources and sensors feed into alwyse. Nothing is captured without your consent.
  • Agent control. You choose which AI agents to activate. Each agent has a defined role and a trustworthiness report. No hidden capabilities.
  • Privacy boundaries. You can tell alwyse what it should know about and what it shouldn't. Work but not a personal relationship, or vice versa. Boundaries are explicit and enforced.
  • Local compute. Run alwyse on your own infrastructure for full data control. With agents working on your behalf around the clock, local compute addresses both privacy and cost.

Provable trustworthiness

Through confidential computing and trusted platform technologies, alwyse can make a cryptographically provable guarantee: in certain deployment configurations, your content is designed to stay outside alwyse and cloud-provider software or administrative access, including while AI works on it. The guarantee is about operator access, not a claim that every legal or physical-world threat is impossible. This is not a privacy policy. It is a technical fact you can verify.

Relay and end-to-end encryption

For private deployments, alwyse's relay feature lets your apps reach your server from anywhere — without exposing your home network or opening ports. Traffic is encrypted end-to-end: TLS terminates on your machine, not on the relay. No intermediary can read your API calls, your memories, or your voice sessions.

What you can do anytime

  • Pause or stop capture
  • Revoke agent permissions
  • Disable or remove agents
  • Set privacy boundaries per domain
  • Review what agents accessed and changed
  • Ask "why?" and get a real answer
  • Export or delete your data

Operator-blind privacy

When alwyse is hosted in the cloud, it utilizes confidential computing infrastructure in combination with modern on-device Trusted Platform technologies. Together, these support hosting options where CVOYA employees and cloud administrators cannot read your content through software or administrative interfaces. Legal process, physical hardware attacks, and vendor TEE limits are documented as boundaries of the guarantee.

Trustworthy agents

Third-party agents come with cryptographically signed trustworthiness reports — signed by experts and the community. The infrastructure can prove the authenticity of these attestations: that a real expert really did review and sign off. The user chooses who and what to trust.

How alwyse earns trust

Trust is built over time through demonstrated understanding, graceful error handling, and consistent respect for your corrections. At alwyse, trust is not a PDF — it's a product experience you can see and control.

The user can see what alwyse knows

The system's understanding is inspectable, correctable, and editable — not a black box. The self-portrait surface lets you see what alwyse understands about your values, knowledge, relationships, and goals.

Corrections change behavior

"That's not what I meant" reshapes the model, not just the current item. Corrections are first-class signals that reshape how alwyse understands you.

Ask "why?" and get a real answer

When alwyse surfaces something, you can ask why — and get a transparent explanation. The system explains itself because transparency is how trust is built.

"Trust isn't a PDF. It's a product experience you can see and control."

alwyse trust principle

Ongoing transparency

alwyse shows what agents accessed and what changed, so you can understand impact over time. The audit trail is always available — what did my agents do while I was asleep?

Trust through correction

alwyse will be wrong sometimes. It will misread a pattern, surface something irrelevant, or misunderstand what you value. This is acceptable because the system listens, learns, adapts, and is transparent about why it did what it did.

Private deployment with relay

Run alwyse on your own infrastructure for full data control. The relay feature lets you reach your private instance from anywhere while keeping traffic encrypted end-to-end. TLS terminates on your machine — the relay only sees encrypted bytes.
