Data We Collect
Update Checks
Caipi periodically checks for updates (for example via GitHub Releases). This sends a request containing your current version number. Like any web request, the services involved may also receive technical data such as your IP address and user agent, which is used only for basic security and troubleshooting.

- Your files or file contents
- Commands you run
- Usage analytics or telemetry
- Browsing history or behavior tracking
All interactions with Claude go directly from your device to Anthropic's servers. We never see or store this data.
