Privacy Policy - Reflexor

Last updated: 2026-07-20

Summary

Reflexor is local-first: chat, code, and history stay on your computer (embedded local engine + bundled backend), except when you use web features.

In the alpha (0.1.0 pre-release), Web Search and Web Research are on by default (simple-first):

• Web Search sends the search query to public providers (e.g. DuckDuckGo) when search intent is detected or you use /search.
• Web Research / URL fetch downloads pages only after confirmation (ask mode), unless you change the permission.
• FIM, request understanding, chat, and Agent without web intent do not need the internet once the local engine and models are installed.
• Product telemetry: off by default.
• MCP: off by default.

Turn off Web Search / Web Research in the extension Settings for fully offline use.

What stays local by default

• Prompts and model responses (local engine)
• Workspace code used as context / RAG
• Local history and indexes (~/.reflexor)
• Approvals, plans, and rollback journal

What may leave your machine

• Web Search (default on): search query text to the configured provider
• Web Research (default on; permission ask): URLs you approve
• Third-party API keys (VS Code SecretStorage), if configured
• MCP (opt-in)
• Optional managed local engine download (confirmation required)

We do not send prompts, source code, or workspaces to Reflexor cloud servers. There is no product telemetry upload.

First external connection

Happens when a web search or approved URL fetch runs - not during idle core startup (localhost backend/local engine).

This website

The marketing site is static and does not create accounts. Hosting may keep access logs.

Your controls

Disable web search/research in extension Settings, clear local data via Reflexor commands, or uninstall the extension (downloaded models are not removed automatically).
