Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Introduction

Alma Lex is a free, open-source Swiss legal AI operated by Joshua Gartmeier. This privacy policy explains how Alma Lex handles your data. In short: your conversations stay on your device. We do not collect any personal data and no login is required.

2. Data Collection

Alma Lex is designed to minimize data collection:

  • All conversations are stored exclusively on your device (in browser storage)
  • Messages are sent to Swiss and EU servers for processing and then discarded
  • No user accounts are created and no personal data is collected
  • Your inputs are not used for AI training
  • Minimal technical data (e.g. server logs) is generated during operation

3. Cookies and Analytics

Alma Lex does not use any analytics or tracking cookies. No third-party tracking services are employed. Strictly necessary cookies may be used for language preferences and theme selection.

4. Purpose of Use

The minimal data generated is used exclusively for:

  • Providing the Alma Lex functionality
  • Generating AI responses to your queries
  • Technical error analysis and operational reliability

5. Data Storage and Processing

Your conversations are not stored on our servers. Messages are transmitted to Swiss servers (Infomaniak, datacenter in Geneva) and an EU server (Finland) for processing. After generating the response, this data is discarded. No AI models are trained with your inputs. No US cloud services are used.

6. Your Control

Since all conversations are stored locally on your device, you have full control:

  • Clear your browser data to remove all stored chats
  • Start a new conversation at any time
  • There is no server-side stored data that would need to be deleted

7. Security

All data transfers between your browser and our servers use SSL/TLS encrypted connections. AI models run at Infomaniak in Geneva (Switzerland). The application itself runs on a dedicated server in Finland (EU). Both locations are subject to strict data protection regulations.
