Eigent can process prompts, files, credentials, browser sessions, and external service data. Where that data goes depends on the selected model, deployment mode, Space type, and connectors.
This page provides a practical privacy checklist. Review the current privacy policy and source code for deployment-specific guarantees.
Understand model data flow
Eigent Cloud
Prompts and relevant context are sent through Eigent's managed model service.
Bring Your Own Key
Prompts and relevant context are sent to the configured provider endpoint using your credentials.
Local models
Model requests are sent to the configured local endpoint. Data can remain on infrastructure you control when all other tools and services are also local.
A local model does not make the entire workflow local if the task also uses cloud connectors, search, remote MCP servers, or external browser services.Understand file storage
- Local-folder Spaces can let agents read and modify the selected directory.
- Blank Spaces store generated artifacts in Eigent-managed project storage.
- Uploaded files become task context.
- Generated outputs can remain in project or workspace folders.
Limit each Space to the files required for its work.
Protect credentials
Credentials can include:
- Model API keys
- MCP environment variables
- OAuth grants
- Search credentials
- Browser cookies
- Remote-control links
Use restricted credentials, rotate exposed values, and remove unused configurations.
Manage browser sessions
Browser cookies can grant access to external accounts.
- Use a dedicated automation profile.
- Delete unused cookie domains.
- Avoid privileged sessions.
- Restart after changing cookie state.
Share tasks and remote links safely
Before sharing:
- Review prompts and generated outputs.
- Remove personal or confidential data.
- Confirm the active Space and Project.
- Stop remote-control sessions after use.
Delete data
Eigent provides deletion or removal actions for:
- Tasks
- Projects
- Some Space records
- Model providers
- Connectors and MCP servers
- Browser cookies
- Remote-control sessions
Deletion in Eigent does not automatically revoke data or credentials stored by an external provider.
Screenshot placeholder: Add a privacy-oriented composite screenshot showing provider removal, connector removal, cookie deletion, and project deletion confirmations. Do not include real data.
Video placeholder: Add a 60-second privacy walkthrough covering local versus cloud models, Space file boundaries, credential removal, and browser-cookie cleanup. Include captions.
Open-source deployments
Self-hosting gives you control over the application and infrastructure, but you remain responsible for:
- Network security
- Database access
- Secret storage
- Logs and backups
- User permissions
- Provider configuration
- Update and vulnerability management
