Data & Privacy

What the app sends.

ArtchAIc creates images locally and sends automatic diagnostics to admin.artchaic.app, as summarised below for v0.13.0.

Information sent or excluded from ArtchAIc diagnostic reports
In diagnostics	Information	What that means
Sent	Profile identifier	A random, persistent profile ID, report IDs and timestamps. Reports can be linked over time; they are not anonymous.
Sent	Hardware & app version	CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, drivers, OS, app version and installation / first-launch markers.
Sent	Generic errors	Error codes and generic messages. No raw error messages or stack traces in the reviewed client’s reports.
Sent	Generation metadata	Outcome, elapsed time, dimensions, steps, image counts, backend, sampler and workflow category — not the model filename.
Sent	Prompt-derived categories	Locally estimated sfw, mature, porn, banned or unknown labels, fixed reason codes, rule version and a review flag. These can reveal sensitive themes and form per-profile trends; they are fallible estimates, not image analysis.
Not sent	Raw prompts & images	Positive and negative prompt text, imported or generated images, drawings and masks are excluded from diagnostic payloads.
Not sent	Files & credentials	File paths, model filenames, seeds, GPU device identifiers and provider credentials are excluded from diagnostic payloads.

Prefer to turn reporting off?

There is no in-app toggle. Set this environment variable before launching the app (and the installer, to cover its report):

ARTCHAIC_REPORTING_ENABLED=0

The value false also works. This stops reporting uploads, including queued reports, while disabled. It does not erase data already received or the local queue; re-enabling may send pending reports.

This is a diagnostics summary, not a complete privacy policy. Catalogue searches and downloads contact their providers separately; the website counts download starts by day, platform and version. Hosting processes connection information, and the diagnostics service uses IP addresses for rate limiting.
