THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
The SOLAR project makes no guarantee that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or suitable for your specific use case. SOLAR is alpha software — it may contain bugs, produce unexpected outputs, or behave in unintended ways.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE.
This includes — without limitation — damages for loss of data, loss of profit, business interruption, or any harm caused by automated actions performed by the Software on your behalf.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Significant changes will be announced in the GitHub repository's release notes.
SOLAR is a local-first, open-source project. The Software runs entirely on your own Windows machine and does not have a backend server, analytics pipeline, or cloud account associated with it.
We do not operate any servers that receive data from your installation of SOLAR. We have no visibility into how you use the Software, what commands you issue, or what data you process with it.
The SOLAR project does not collect, store, or have access to any of the following:
- Voice recordings or audio from your microphone
- Transcribed speech or command history
- Screenshots taken by SOLAR for call detection or UI navigation
- Messages sent or received via WhatsApp, Discord, or Instagram
- Code generated by the coding skills
- Calendar events or personal schedule data
- IP addresses, device identifiers, or usage telemetry
- Any content from your file system or clipboard
All AI inference in the Local Install mode runs entirely on your own hardware via Ollama at localhost:11434. No data is sent to any external API.
- Speech recognition (Vosk) processes audio entirely in memory on your device
- Vision AI (llama3.2-vision) analyses screenshots locally — images are never uploaded
- Code generation (Malicus7862/deepseekcoder-6.7b-jarvis-gguf) runs on your GPU
- Text-to-speech (Kokoro) synthesises audio locally
Depending on your configuration, SOLAR may interact with the following third-party services on your behalf:
- WhatsApp, Discord, Instagram — SOLAR may send messages via their desktop apps. Your use of these platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
- Ollama — Used for local model management and, in the upcoming cloud mode, remote inference. See ollama.com/privacy.
- Google Fonts — This legal page and the SOLAR landing page load fonts from Google Fonts CDN. Google may log font requests. See Google's privacy policy.
SOLAR is not directed at children under the age of 13. Because the Software does not collect any data at all, there is no risk of inadvertently collecting data from minors — but the Software is designed for adults and should be used by adults only.
As SOLAR evolves — particularly when cloud model support is introduced — this Privacy Policy may be updated. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
Because SOLAR does not collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly. Please check the GitHub repository for updates.
