Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 28, 2026

What is Betsy?

Betsy is a self-hosted, open-source AI assistant. Each user runs their own instance of Betsy on their own server. Your data stays on your server — we do not operate a centralized service that stores your conversations or personal information.

What data we collect

The Betsy project itself does not collect any user data. However, our OAuth relay service (auth.betsyai.io) processes the following during service connections:

• OAuth tokens — temporarily held in memory (RAM only) for up to 5 minutes during the authorization flow, then permanently deleted from our server. Tokens are forwarded to your Betsy instance and stored only on your server.
• No user data is stored on our servers. We do not maintain databases, logs, or analytics of user activity.

Third-party services

When you connect Betsy to third-party services (Google, GitHub, VK, etc.), you authorize Betsy to access your data on those platforms. This access is governed by each platform's own privacy policy. Betsy accesses only the data you explicitly authorize through OAuth scopes.

How your data is stored

All data (conversations, tokens, memories, skills) is stored locally on your Betsy server instance in a SQLite database. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. We have no access to your server or data.

Data sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data to third parties. The OAuth relay server is stateless and retains no information after the authorization flow completes.

Your rights

Since all data is stored on your own server, you have full control over it. You can delete your data at any time by removing the Betsy database file or uninstalling the application.

LLM providers

Betsy uses third-party LLM providers (such as OpenRouter) to process your messages. Your conversations are sent to these providers for processing according to their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing your chosen provider's privacy policy.

Children's privacy

Betsy is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
