TLDR

  • We collect server-side telemetry and usage data to improve our AI features. This may include prompts and agentic actions calls to our backend.
  • We use various AI providers (including but not limited to OpenAI, Google Gemini, Jina AI, Voyage AI) to process your requests.
  • Your data is processed through our backend to ensure stability and performance of the service.
  • We use anonymized data to improve our AI models and services.

Important Note

  • Even if you use your own API key, your requests will still go through our backend! That's where we do our agentic orchestration to ensure the stability and performance of the service.

Introduction

This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to all users of the Copilot Plus for Obsidian plugin (collectively, "Copilot Plus," "Plugin" or "Service"), which is offered by Brevilabs Inc. and/or any of its affiliates ("Brevilabs" or "we" or "us") and describes how we process your personal information in connection with the Service, and how we collect information through the use of cookies and related technologies. It also tells you how you can access and update your personal information and describes the data protection rights that may be available under your country's or state's laws. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Plugin, you acknowledge you have been informed of and consent to our practices with regard to your personal information and data.

Applicability of this Privacy Policy

If you are a customer of Brevilabs, this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information or other data and information that we process on your behalf (if any) as your service provider (collectively, "Customer Data"). Our use of your Customer Data shall instead be governed by the terms and conditions of the separate customer agreement or terms of service that you have agreed to with us.

If you are using the Services as an employee, contractor or other representative of one of our customers and you have any questions about our privacy practices or would like to exercise any rights with respect to your personal information that we process on behalf of our customers, please contact the corresponding customer as we only process your personal information in our capacity as a service provider to our customer.

Personal information we collect

You may choose to interact with our Plugin in ways that provide us with your personal information. The amount and type of information that Brevilabs gathers depends on the nature of your interaction with us, as well as the amount of information you choose to share. For example, we ask visitors who use our community Discord to provide a username and email address. We will also collect the information you provide with us in connection with creating an account on the Plugin. In each case, Brevilabs collects such personal information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with or your request to Brevilabs.

When you use our Plugin, we collect:

  • Account information (email, username)
  • Server-side usage data and telemetry to improve our AI features
  • Prompts and requests sent to our AI services
  • Technical information about your device including your device's internet protocol (IP) address

We collect this information to better understand how users use our Plugin, to improve our services, and to monitor the security of the Plugin.

Like most website operators, Brevilabs collects (i) technical information about your device including your device's internet protocol (IP) address, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), unique identifiers (including identifiers used for advertising purposes), language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 4G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area; and (ii) information about your visit to our Apps and online activity data (such as the referral URL, the content viewed and the content interacted with). Some of this information is collected using cookies, web beacons and related local storage technologies. See below for further information on these technologies. We collect this information to better understand how visitors use our Apps, to improve our Apps and experience for visitors, and to monitor the security of the Apps.

We may aggregate all information (including your personal information) collected from our Apps for our own statistical and analytics purposes and share such aggregated information with third parties for our own promotional purposes (e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our Apps).

Important Note Regarding Data Processing with Your Own API Key:

Even if you choose to use your own API key for certain AI providers, please be aware that your requests will still be routed through our backend infrastructure. This is necessary for agentic orchestration, service stability, performance optimization, and security. Therefore, even when using your own API key, we will still collect and process the categories of personal information described in this section.

Note on Server-Side Usage Data and Telemetry

"Server-side usage data and telemetry" means that we collect data related to the operation and usage of the Copilot Plus service on our backend servers. This data is primarily focused on system performance, error monitoring, and overall service usage patterns. We do not collect client-side telemetry, which would violate Obsidian Developer policies.

Information Brevilabs does not collect

Brevilabs does not intentionally collect sensitive or special category personal information, such as genetic data, biometric data for the purposes of uniquely identifying a natural person, health information, or religious information.

Brevilabs does not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our Plugin or content specifically to children under the age of 18. If we learn or have reason to suspect that a user is under the age of 18, we will close that account.

If you are an individual in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable United Kingdom and/or EU laws.

Brevilabs may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.

Where your personal information is transferred outside of the EEA, Switzerland and UK and where this is to a country which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission or considered adequate as determined by applicable data protection laws, we will take steps to ensure your personal information is adequately protected by safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs") approved by the EU Commission or by the UK Government.
