Privacy

Your data stays in your browser.

This site is privacy-by-design because AI governance leads enter sensitive system information here.

What is stored where

  • Your entries — AI system inventory, AIIA responses, risk register — live in your browser's localStorage for this origin.
  • Nothing is transmitted to any backend. There is no backend. The entire site is a static asset bundle served from GitHub Pages.
  • Optional anonymous analytics via Plausible covers page-views only — no content, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. You can block it without affecting site behavior.

What this means in practice

  • Clearing your browser data clears the toolkit's data. Back up first if needed (export to JSON).
  • Your data does not move between devices unless you export it as JSON and import it elsewhere.
  • If you share the device, anyone using it can see what you've entered — treat the toolkit's data with the same care as any local file.

Why this design

Traditional SaaS governance tools require uploading your AI inventory and risk register to a vendor environment. That creates a fresh data-protection question that defeats much of the point: now you have to assess the vendor before you can run the assessment. Privacy-by-design eliminates the question.

Export and import

The toolkit offers JSON export of all your entries (and import to restore on another browser or after a reset). Export your data periodically as a backup.

Caveat

If the underlying browser, OS, or device has been compromised, the toolkit's data is at risk regardless of this design. Standard endpoint security still matters.
