Osmanthus Privacy Policy
What Osmanthus does
Osmanthus is an AI agent app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You connect AI providers, local model servers, and optional tools. You do not need an Osmanthus account. Some external services require their own accounts. The app does not include advertising or an analytics SDK and does not use your data for cross-app advertising tracking.
Data stored on your device
Osmanthus stores agent profiles, settings, conversations, drafts, attachments, generated files, tool activity, installed Skills, custom tools, and optional memories in its local app storage. Some Mac attachments remain linked to files you select rather than being copied. API keys, connection tokens, and tool signing keys use the system Keychain. Apple or your own backup software may include app data in device backups. Local storage does not mean that AI processing happens on your device.
AI services and network requests
When you submit a request, your selected AI service can receive your message, relevant conversation history, agent instructions, supported attachments, recalled memories, and tool results needed for the request. Image, speech, transcription, music, video, search, extraction, and other capabilities send the relevant input to their configured services. Search requests may contain queries and URLs from the conversation. The provider and model determine what content is supported.
A local model server receives requests sent to its configured address and may itself use remote services. Network services receive connection information such as your IP address. Credentials authenticate requests to the relevant service. Provider logging, retention, training, and deletion practices follow that provider’s terms and your account settings. Review them before connecting a service or sending sensitive content.
Tools, Skills, and MCP connections
Tools can read information or perform actions using the access available to the app and the configured execution controls. Information returned by a tool can be included in the AI conversation. When you connect a remote MCP server, it receives the requests, tool arguments, authorization information, and other content sent to that server. Tool results may then be shared with the selected AI service.
Skills contain instructions that guide the agent; associated programs and custom tools may read files or use network services within their available access. On Mac, command execution can access files and services within its configured execution environment. Review proposed actions, connected servers, and installed extensions. Disabling a tool or removing a connection does not erase requests already received by an external service.
Memory and embedding search
Where enabled, agent memory stores information extracted from conversations and tool results for later recall. Memory can be shared between your agents or kept private to an agent, depending on your selection. Relevant recalled content may be sent to the selected AI service. Automatic memory processing uses the configured AI models.
Optional embedding search uses the selected local or cloud embedding model. A cloud embedding provider receives the text submitted for indexing or retrieval. Supported local embedding models run on the device after download. Availability depends on the model and device. Downloading a model contacts its hosting service. Turning memory off stops new recall for that agent but does not by itself erase saved memories, conversation history, or copies already sent to a service. Manage stored memory separately through the available memory controls.
System permissions and personal information
Depending on your platform and enabled features, Osmanthus can request access to the camera, microphone, photos, contacts, calendars, reminders, location, alarms, selected files or folders, and supported Mac services. Additional supported activity or health tools require the relevant system authorization. Access is limited by the OS, app configuration, and the tool’s available permissions. Opening a permission page does not itself read your personal records.
When you ask an agent to use authorized information, the tool can read the requested data and relevant results may be sent to your selected AI service to answer your request. Clipboard tools act on supported clipboard content when invoked. Captured or selected media may become attachments. Manage permissions in the app and in system Settings; revoke access you no longer want to provide.
Health and activity data
Health and activity tools read the types you authorize for the summaries you request. Relevant results can become part of the conversation and be sent to your selected AI service. Osmanthus does not write Health records. Flamesilk does not use health data for advertising, marketing, or data brokerage. Review your chosen service’s privacy practices before asking it to process health information. Osmanthus does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
AI data sharing on iPhone and iPad
Before your first AI request, Osmanthus asks whether to share the related content with your selected services. You can cancel without sending the request. Open Settings → Privacy to revoke AI Data Sharing. Revoking blocks new requests and tool calls; stop active tasks separately. Revoking does not recall information already sent to a service.
Your choices and deletion
You choose the AI services, models, agent configurations, extensions, and system permissions you use. Stop an active task if you no longer want it to continue. Remove unwanted conversations, agents, saved files, and memories using the available app controls. Disconnect services and manage their credentials separately. Copies exported or shared to other apps remain under your control and those apps’ practices.
On iOS, deleting the app removes its local app container. On macOS, moving the app to Trash may leave local data. Keychain items and external files can remain after removing an app. Backups can retain earlier copies. Removing local data does not delete information already sent to an AI provider, MCP server, or other service; use that service’s account controls or contact it directly.
Support requests
If you email [email protected], Flamesilk LLC receives the information you provide, such as your email address, app version, error details, and screenshots. We use it to answer your request and investigate the issue. Do not include API keys, passwords, or private conversations. Support correspondence is kept to resolve and follow up on requests; contact the same address to request deletion, subject to applicable recordkeeping obligations.
Children and AI output
Osmanthus is a general-purpose tool and is not designed specifically for children. AI output and actions can be incorrect or inappropriate. Review important answers and proposed changes. Do not rely on AI output as a substitute for qualified professional advice.
