Introduction
BaseLayer.id ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our local-first, encrypted memory layer for AI agents.
Our Core Privacy Principle: Your data belongs to you. BaseLayer.id is designed with a privacy-first architecture where your information stays on your device, encrypted with keys only you control.
What Makes BaseLayer.id Different
BaseLayer.id is built on a zero-knowledge architecture:
- Local-First Storage: Your data is stored on your device, not our servers
- End-to-End Encryption: All data is encrypted with keys we never have access to
- Zero-Knowledge Sync: Even when syncing across devices, your data remains encrypted in transit and at rest
- No Data Mining: We cannot and do not access, read, or analyze your content
Information We Collect
1. Waitlist Information (Pre-Launch)
When you join our waitlist, we collect:
- Email address: To notify you when BaseLayer.id launches and send product updates
- Timestamp: When you joined the waitlist
- User agent: Browser and device information for basic analytics
Purpose: Waitlist management and launch communications.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because of our local-first, zero-knowledge architecture:
- Your AI agent memories: Stored only on your devices
- Your conversations: Never transmitted to our servers
- Your encryption keys: Generated and stored locally; we cannot access them
- Your content: Any data you store in BaseLayer.id remains private and inaccessible to us
How We Store and Protect Your Information
Waitlist Data
- Stored securely on encrypted servers
- Access restricted to essential personnel only
- Retained only as long as necessary for launch communications
Your BaseLayer.id Data (Product)
- Local Storage: Encrypted on your device using industry-standard encryption
- Optional Sync: If you enable multi-device sync, data is encrypted in transit using TLS and stored encrypted on our sync infrastructure
- Zero-Knowledge: We use end-to-end encryption, meaning only you have the keys to decrypt your data
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We Do Not Sell Your Data
We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Limited Sharing
We may share information only in these circumstances:
- Service Providers: Trusted vendors who help us operate the waitlist (e.g., email service providers), under strict confidentiality agreements
- Legal Obligations: When required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with advance notice to you
Important: Due to our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot share your BaseLayer.id content even if compelled by law—we don't have access to it.

International Data Transfers
If you're accessing BaseLayer.id from outside the United States, please be aware that your waitlist information may be transferred to and stored in the United States. We implement appropriate safeguards to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by:
- Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
- Sending an email to waitlist members (for pre-launch changes)
- Posting a notice in the BaseLayer.id application (post-launch)
Your continued use of BaseLayer.id after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures:
- Encryption: TLS for data in transit, AES-256 for data at rest
- Access Controls: Strict access limitations and authentication requirements
- Regular Audits: Periodic security assessments and updates
- Incident Response: Procedures to respond to potential security breaches
Remember: Because of our zero-knowledge architecture, even a breach of our systems would not expose your BaseLayer.id content—we don't have the keys to decrypt it.
Third-Party Services
Our waitlist may use third-party services (e.g., email delivery). These services have their own privacy policies. We carefully select vendors who meet our privacy standards.
