Anvit: Local Agentic RAG

100% On-Device AI

Effective date: April 23, 2026  ยท  Last updated: April 23, 2026

๐Ÿ”’ Overview

Anvit is a privacy-first AI assistant that runs entirely on your device. It lets you chat with your documents using a local Gemma 4 language model โ€” no cloud inference, no analytics, no tracking.

This policy explains what data Anvit stores locally, what limited information may leave your device, and how you remain in control at all times.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Data Stored on Your Device

All of the following is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any server:

Data Purpose
Chat history & messages Persist conversations across sessions
Uploaded PDF documents Source material for document Q&A
Text embeddings (vectors) Enable local semantic search (RAG)
AI model files (LLM & embedding) Run inference fully offline after download
App settings & preferences Remember your configuration
HuggingFace token Optional Authenticate model downloads (if provided)
Email address Optional Pre-fill the feedback form (if provided)

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Audio Data & Microphone Usage

Anvit requests the RECORD_AUDIO permission to enable voice-to-text interactions with your local AI agent.

On-Device Processing: All audio recording is processed strictly on your physical device using local speech-to-text engines.

No Cloud Transmission: Audio data is never uploaded to any external servers, third parties, or cloud providers.

No Retention: Raw audio files are deleted immediately after the local AI agent completes the transcription process.

๐ŸŒ Network Activity

Anvit makes network requests in two narrow, user-initiated situations:

1. Model Downloads โ€” HuggingFace

When you download a language or embedding model in Settings, Anvit fetches model files from huggingface.co. No personal data is sent. If you provide a HuggingFace token it is used only as an authorization header for faster downloads and is stored locally.

2. Voluntary Feedback โ€” Google Forms

If you tap Report inaccuracy and submit the form, the following is sent to Google Forms:

This is entirely optional. You can dismiss the feedback dialog at any time without sending anything.

No other network calls are made. All AI inference, document retrieval, and embedding computation runs locally. Anvit has no telemetry, crash reporting, or background analytics.

๐Ÿšซ What Anvit Never Does

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Permissions Explained

Permission Why It's Needed
INTERNET One-time model downloads from HuggingFace; optional feedback submission. Not used for inference.
RECORD_AUDIO Voice-to-text queries. Audio never leaves your device.
File / Storage access Selecting PDF files via the system file picker (scoped storage โ€” only files you choose).

๐Ÿ‘ถ Children's Privacy

Anvit does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). The app is intended for general audiences. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the voluntary feedback form, contact us and we will remove it.

๐Ÿ”— Third-Party Services

Anvit interacts with the following third-party services in limited, user-initiated contexts:

No other third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, or advertising networks are included in the app.

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Data Deletion

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it at any time:

For feedback submissions already sent via Google Forms, contact us to request removal.

๐Ÿ“‹ Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date above and โ€” where feasible โ€” notify users within the app. Continued use of Anvit after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
