Privacy and terms
What stays on your machine, what leaves it, and what you are buying.
The local-first promise and the commercial promise, made precise. Where something is not yet finalised, this page says so rather than implying it is.
Draft: legal entity, governing law and refund terms to be finalised before publishing
Local-first
Your record lives on your machine.
Consensus Logic stores its record under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ConsensusLogic on the machine where it is installed: registered projects, tasks, both plans, the challenge, your decisions, the agreed programme, every step's record, both report tabs, and the allowance ledger. There is no Consensus Logic cloud copy. Deleting that folder deletes the record.
The installed application never fetches fonts, icons or styles from the network. It runs offline except where the AI providers need connectivity.
What may leave the machine
Exactly as implemented, and only when you act.
| What | To whom | When | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project context | Your AI providers, through the Codex and Claude command-line tools signed in on your machine. | When you Start review or Start development. | OpenAI's and Anthropic's terms for your subscription. They are the models doing the work; Consensus Logic does not claim that no source leaves the machine when the provider workflow requires it. |
| Licence activation | The Consensus Logic licence service. | Once, when you activate a paid licence. Offline after that. | Licence key, product version, a machine identifier. No project content. |
| Crash reports | Consensus Logic. | Only if you opt in. Off by default. | States and stack traces, never project content or model context. |
| Website analytics | A cookie-free analytics service. | When you visit this site. | Page views without cookies or personal identifiers. |
| Waitlist and subscription emails | Consensus Logic. | When you submit a form on this site. | Used to send the messages you asked for. Deleted on request. |
No credentials for your AI providers are ever placed in model context, and Consensus Logic never holds your OpenAI or Anthropic passwords or API keys.
Terms
What a licence is, and what it is not.
The licence
Pro is licensed per machine. Studio is licensed for three machines. The Founder licence is Pro for life on one machine. Licences are for individuals and small studios; there is no enterprise tier.
Vendor accounts
The product requires supported Codex and Claude subscriptions with their command-line tools signed in, used under the vendors' own terms. If a vendor changes how those tools may be used, the affected feature stops working until we update it. Consensus Logic does not sell model access and cannot guarantee vendor behaviour.
Payment
Payments are processed by Stripe. Prices are in USD; Australian buyers see AUD with GST at checkout.
Refunds
Fourteen days from purchase, any reason, by email to hello@consensuslogic.com.
Legal entity and jurisdiction
The contracting entity and governing law will be stated here when finalised. Until then, nothing on this site constitutes an offer.
