Last Updated: April 20, 2025

Thank you for using Berkelium Labs, a web app that allows you to explore and experiment with AI models locally within your web browser. This Privacy Policy outlines how Berkelium Labs handles your data.

1. Information We Do Not Collect ​

Berkelium Labs is primarily designed with your privacy in mind. We do not directly collect or transmit any personal information from you to our servers. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your IP address
  • Your browsing history outside of Berkelium Labs
  • The models you download
  • The text you generate or input into the models
  • Your chat history
  • Your configuration settings

All processing of Large Language Models and the core functionality of Berkelium Labs occur locally within your web browser and on your device.

2. Analytics Data Collected (Google Analytics) ​

To understand how users interact with Berkelium Labs and to improve our PWA, we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics may collect the following types of non-personally identifiable information:

  • Usage Data: Information about how you use Berkelium Labs, such as the pages you visit, how long you stay on those pages, the features you interact with, and the links you click.
  • Technical Data: Information about your browser type, operating system, device type (e.g., desktop, tablet, mobile), screen resolution, and language preferences.
  • Aggregated Data: Google Analytics may aggregate the collected data with data from other users to generate statistical reports.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. This data helps us understand user behavior patterns, identify areas for improvement, and optimize the user experience of Berkelium Labs.

3. Purpose of Analytics Data ​

The non-personally identifiable information collected through Google Analytics is used for the following purposes:

  • Analyzing user trends and behavior.
  • Improving the design and functionality of Berkelium Labs.
  • Monitoring the performance of our PWA.
  • Understanding which features are most popular.

4. Data Sharing with Google ​

The information collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google on its servers. Google may also share this information with third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google's use and sharing of this data are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

5. Your Choices Regarding Analytics ​

You may be able to control the collection and use of your data by Google Analytics through the following methods:

  • Browser Add-ons: Google provides a browser add-on that allows you to opt-out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you visit. You can download this add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies and other tracking technologies. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on how to manage these settings.

6. Local Storage Usage ​

Berkelium Labs utilizes your browser's local storage to:

  • Temporarily store downloaded Large Language Models to improve loading times during your current session.
  • Persist your chat history and configuration settings so you can resume your work even if you close and reopen the app later on the same device.

This data stored in your browser's local storage is only accessible by Berkelium Labs running in that specific browser on your device. We do not have access to this local storage.

7. Third-Party Services ​

Berkelium Labs interacts with the HuggingFace Hub to allow you to browse and download pre-trained Large Language Models. While we facilitate this connection, Berkelium Labs does not send any of your personal information to HuggingFace. Your interaction with the HuggingFace is subject to their own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

8. Data Security ​

While we strive to protect the information we collect (through Google Analytics), please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. However, the core functionality and your personal AI interactions remain local and are not transmitted to us.

9. Children's Privacy ​

Berkelium Labs is intended for general use and is not specifically directed towards children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy ​

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
