Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

We don't look at your code or conversations and we don't want to. Your work is between you and your locally installed Claude CLI.

We do collect analytics data like what features you use, login patterns, and error logs. This helps us fix bugs and improve the parts of dereference that matter most to developers.

Where We Store Your Data

Your conversations and code stay completely on your computer with your Claude CLI installation. When you chat with Claude through dereference, everything happens locally on your machine. Your prompts, Claude's responses, your code, your files - all of it lives in your local Claude CLI directory and never leaves your computer to reach our servers.

This means your sensitive code, proprietary projects, personal conversations with Claude, debugging sessions, and any other work you do stays private and under your control. We literally can't see it even if we wanted to.

Here's what we do store elsewhere:

In our encrypted database we keep your account info like email address and GitHub integration details if you connect them.

We store analytics in PostHog when you use features like creating GitHub workspaces, switching between projects, or when errors happen. This includes which features you're using and error messages when things break.

We don't record session replays or screenshots.

Your AI Traffic

All requests go directly from your computer to Anthropic's servers through your locally installed Claude CLI. We never intercept, proxy, or store any of your AI conversations.

Since your conversations go directly to Claude, check Anthropic's privacy policy:

Data Security

Any data we store is encrypted and only accessible by our team. We use SOC 2 compliant services like Supabase and PostHog for maximum security.
