# Trust & Security

This is the section most AI products bury in a footer link next to "Terms of Service" and "Cookie Policy." We're putting it front and center because we think you deserve to know exactly how this works before you hand an AI access to your computer.

We're going to be transparent to the point of being annoying about it. That's intentional.
