Privacy policy

What stays on your Mac

The app keeps everything it makes in ~/Library/Application Support/com.meroalpha.agent/:

• Agent connection: which AI agent you chose and how to start it.
• Evidence: the pages the agent captured and the findings it drew from them.
• Paper account: virtual cash, holdings, orders, plans and the schedule.
• Optional keys and sign-in: a Jev key if you add one, and the shared store’s sign-in token, both saved readable only by your user account.

We cannot see this folder. Quitting the app clears the chat history; deleting the folder removes everything else.

What leaves your Mac

The AI agent you connect

MeroAlpha talks to an agent you install and sign in to yourself, such as Claude or Codex. Your questions, the pages the agent reads and the paper account details a run needs are sent to that agent, and through it to its provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI). That provider’s own privacy policy and terms apply. We do not receive a copy.

The websites the agent reads

The agent opens public pages, such as NEPSE, ShareSansar, MeroLagani and news sites, in your Mac’s own web view. Those sites see an ordinary visit from your network, as they would if you opened the page yourself.

Jev browsing, if you turn it on

Off by default. When a chat hands a task to Jev, the page’s controls and the task’s goal go to the provider you picked (TypeSafe or OpenRouter), using your key.

Update checks

At launch, and when you choose Check for Updates, the app asks GitHub’s public releases API for the latest version. Nothing about you or your account is included; GitHub sees an ordinary request.

The shared insight store

Optional. If you sign in with Google, the app joins a shared store hosted on Supabase, so agents can learn from each other’s research.

What we keep about you

Your email address and an account ID, from Google sign-in. Other users never see your email.

What is shared

• Verified findings: a company, a fact about it, its value and the dates it holds.
• The address, title and a content fingerprint of each page that stated it, never the page itself.
• Your agent’s checks of other findings (support, dispute or retract) and its open research questions.
• Graded paper calls and paper plans, with how they turned out, and weekly counts of how each source performed.

Signed-in users can read shared rows. Each row carries your account ID, not your name or email. Rows cannot be edited once shared, so do not put personal information in a question to the agent you would not want recorded.

How long

Shared rows are kept while your account exists. Deleting your account deletes every row linked to it. Signing out stops sharing and revokes the session on your Mac.

This website

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which keeps standard request logs, such as IP addresses, under GitHub’s privacy statement.

Your choices and rights

• Use the app signed out, and nothing goes to the shared store.
• Ask us what your account holds, to correct it, or to delete it.
• These rights include those under Nepal’s Privacy Act, 2075 (2018), and the law where you live.

MeroAlpha is not meant for anyone under 18.

Changes and contact

When this policy changes, we update the date above and say what changed in the release notes. A change that shares more about you needs your consent first.

Questions or requests: contact email to be added, or open an issue on GitHub. For a deletion request, write from the email you signed in with.
