# CodeVetter privacy

> Canonical page: https://codevetter.com/privacy

CodeVetter is a local desktop application. Repository context, diffs, notes, and review history are stored in a local SQLite database; CodeVetter has no hosted review server.

## External requests

- A configured LLM provider receives code and prompt content only when the user initiates a provider-backed review. The provider's privacy policy applies.
- The optional updater checks GitHub Releases for new versions.

## Telemetry and deletion

CodeVetter does not enable crash or usage telemetry by default. A user can remove local state by uninstalling the application and deleting its local application-data directory.
