Privacy, Security & Your Data

At Pieces for Developers, we believe that your trust is paramount—that’s why we’ve built our platform with a local-first approach that keeps your code and data safely on your device by default.

Private and Secure

Your privacy and security are our top priorities.

Pieces for Developers is built with a local-first architecture, so your code stays on-device by default, with complete offline functionality and cloud capabilities only if enabled.

Designed for complete user control, all cloud features are opt-in only, telemetry is clearly marked and opt-out of, and you have full control over all privacy settings.

🛡️ We are SOC 2 Certified & Enterprise-Ready!

Data Storage & Control

All of your data is stored locally. When interacting with cloud-based LLMs, Pieces for Developers defaults to the model provider’s Privacy Policy—like OpenAI—since we use their API to provide the model.

Where Your Data Lives

All Pieces for Developers data is stored on your device and can be deleted, copied, compressed, or moved between devices without relying on cloud services. This allows easy transfer, simple backup, and no cloud dependency.

At any time, you can find your up-to-date log files can find your log files in the following locations, depending on your platform:

  • macOS: /Users/<username>/Library/com.pieces.os/

  • Windows: C:/Users/<username>/Documents/com.pieces.os/

  • Linux: /Users/<username>/Documents/com.pieces.os/

Replace <username> with your system username.

Security Architecture

Our system is built to run entirely on your device, ensuring your data never leaves your machine unless you choose to use cloud features.

  • All Core Features Work Offline: Our platform runs on-device, processing your code and sensitive data locally. This minimizes exposure to external networks and reduces unauthorized access risks.

  • No Mandatory Cloud Connectivity: You control your data. Cloud services are optional, and no data is sent or stored remotely unless you enable it.

  • Private By Default: Your development environment is isolated from external servers by default, enhancing security and reducing data breach risks.

Enterprise Security Features

We provide robust, isolated data storage and a scalable architecture designed to meet the high security demands of enterprise environments.

  • Individual User Repositories: Each developer's data is stored separately in isolated micro-databases to prevent cross-contamination.

  • No Centralized Servers: Our decentralized approach avoids a single point of failure, reducing the risk of large-scale breaches.

  • Dedicated Cloud Instances (If Enabled): For those using cloud connectivity, we provide dedicated instances with high isolation, security, and enterprise-grade scalability.

Compliance & Certifications

Our platform meets stringent industry standards—with SOC-2 compliance and regular security audits—ensuring you can trust our secure infrastructure.

1

SOC-2 Compliant Infrastructure

Our systems meet the stringent requirements of SOC-2 compliance, a critical benchmark for security in enterprise environments. 

2

Regular Security Audits

We conduct frequent audits of our infrastructure to ensure that our security practices not only meet but exceed industry standards.

These audits help us identify potential vulnerabilities and continuously improve our systems.

3

Enterprise-Ready Authentication with Auth0

Secure access is key to our security. Using Auth0, we ensure only authorized users access sensitive data, with advanced and multi-factor authentication options for extra protection.

Privacy Controls

We ensure users have full control over their privacy settings, data collection, and telemetry. All data collection is opt-out, telemetry is anonymous, and there are clear opt-out options in all our products. Each Pieces product offers detailed settings for data sharing, Cloud connectivity, and telemetry controls.

Our tools keep your data safe by processing it on your device. Tasks run locally, and we never use your data to train models. You can disable cloud processing anytime to keep data on your device.

Many of the core pillars of Pieces for Developers functionality have been designed to be offline-flexible.

Cloud Integration (Optional)

For users who choose to leverage cloud-based features, our platform offers secure, scalable cloud integration while keeping you in full control.

  • Individual Cloud Infrastructure: Each user gets their own dedicated cloud setup so your data remains isolated and secure.

  • Unique Subdomain Per User: Your cloud instance is accessed via a unique subdomain, further isolating your data from others.

  • Independent Scaling: Our cloud services automatically scale based on your usage so you get consistent performance without compromising security.

  • Data Isolation: Even when using cloud functionalities, we make sure your data remains segregated from other users’ data.

Long-Term Memory (LTM-2) Security

Our Long-Term Memory (LTM-2) Engine is designed to protect your work through on-device processing and advanced local integration options.

  • On-device Processing: All LTM functions run locally by default, keeping your sensitive data within your own environment.

  • Local LLM Options via Ollama: You can integrate with local LLMs through the Pieces client’s usage of Ollama as a local model wrapper for added security.

  • Complete Control Over Data Sharing: Decide when and if your data is shared, so you can be confident that you maintain full ownership and control over your information.

For users concerned about privacy, we strongly recommend using a local LLM with Pieces for Developers products, so LTM-2, Pieces Copilot and Pieces Drive never send data through the cloud.
