# Privacy Policy for podctl

Last updated: October 2026

podctl is developed and operated by Olib AI ("we", "our", or "us"). We are firmly committed to user privacy, local data isolation, and transparency. This Privacy Policy details how data is handled when you use the podctl application on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS.

## Core Architectural Privacy Principles

podctl is designed from inception with a local-first, zero-knowledge architecture:

### 1. Local Credential Storage
All kubeconfigs, cluster certificates, tokens, context profiles, and SSH keys are stored exclusively on your device. They are protected using Apple Keychain and secure application sandboxing. We do not operate intermediate proxy servers, and your credentials are never transmitted to Olib AI or any third party.

### 2. Direct Cluster Connectivity
When podctl interacts with a Kubernetes cluster, requests travel directly from your device to the target Kubernetes API server via mutual TLS (mTLS) or configured authentication methods. No telemetry, traffic inspection, or logging of your cluster communications occurs on our infrastructure.

### 3. On-Device Artificial Intelligence
All AI-assisted cluster diagnostics, error analysis, and log interpretations run locally on your device whenever supported by your hardware. Cluster data, manifest contents, and log outputs are never uploaded to remote model providers without explicit user initiation.

## Information We May Collect

We collect only the minimal information strictly necessary to maintain software stability:

- Optional Crash Reports: When enabled by system settings, anonymous crash logs (such as stack traces and OS build versions) may be collected via Apple App Store services to help us isolate bugs.
- Aggregate Telemetry: High-level non-identifiable usage metrics (such as feature activation counts) may be gathered to guide product development. You can disable telemetry at any time in app preferences.

## Data Retention and Security

Because your cluster operational data is stored on-device, you maintain total control over data retention. Removing the application from your Apple device or purging cached configurations completely deletes all local application state.
