Privacy policy

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Who we are

RunLocalAI is an independently operated site about running AI locally. Use our contact page for privacy questions or requests about your information.

Hosting and access logs

The site runs on a Spaceship VPS, using nginx, a Node.js application and PostgreSQL. Cloudflare provides content delivery and security in front of the server.

Requests can produce access logs containing an IP address, request path, timestamp, response status, referrer and user agent. These records support security and troubleshooting. Server logs rotate according to the VPS configuration; we do not promise a fixed deletion period for every log or backup.

Analytics and your choice

The configured analytics services are Plausible and self-hosted Umami. They receive traffic events such as page views and referrers without setting analytics cookies. Cookieless does not mean that no network request or connection information is processed.

Traffic analytics loads by default when configured. Choosing Essential only disables the analytics scripts controlled by our preference setting. Advertising code, if configured, uses a separate consent gate. This description does not mean that advertising is currently active.

The browser stores your choice in rla_cookie_consent_v1. Theme and other interface preferences may also be kept in local storage. You can remove these entries in your browser's site-data settings. Removing a saved analytics choice restores the default behavior.

Information you submit

If you send us a message, suggestion, feedback or a benchmark, we process the information you provide to respond or review the submission. Information intended for publication may appear on the public site after review. Do not include passwords, private logs or other confidential material in a public contribution.

Service providers

  • Spaceship provides the VPS. Cloudflare processes web traffic for delivery and security.
  • Plausible and our own Umami service provide traffic analytics.
  • Services used by a contact or submission form process information sent through that form.

These services can process information outside your country. Their own privacy terms also apply: Cloudflare and Plausible.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate links, including links through Awin and Amazon Associates. Clicking one sends you to a retailer or affiliate network. That destination may process referral identifiers and set cookies under its own policy. We use affiliate reports to track referrals and commissions. Sponsorship does not make a product independently tested by us.

Requests and changes

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Contact us with enough detail to locate the relevant submission or request. Do not send sensitive identity documents unless we have discussed a secure way to handle them.

We update this page when our practices change. The date at the top identifies this revision.
