Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how LLM Ventures (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit our websites llm-ventures.com and pocketpal.dev.

PocketPal AI is an open-source mobile application that runs large language models entirely on your device. Our websites provide information about the project, a community benchmark leaderboard, and resources for the open-source AI community.

The data controller responsible for your personal data is LLM Ventures. You can contact us at info@llm-ventures.com.

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for analytics cookies. You can grant or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie banner or the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
• Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — for processing aggregated, anonymous benchmark data to maintain the community leaderboard.

We use the data we collect to:

• Understand how visitors use our websites and improve the user experience
• Analyze traffic patterns and site performance
• Maintain and operate the community benchmark leaderboard

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use cookies solely for analytics purposes, and only with your explicit consent.

We use the following third-party service to process data on our behalf:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC) — for website analytics. Google processes data in accordance with their privacy policy.

Google LLC participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and has committed to adhering to its principles. Where the DPF does not apply, data transfers are safeguarded by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

• Analytics data — retained for 14 months (Google Analytics default), after which it is automatically deleted.
• Benchmark data — retained indefinitely as aggregated, anonymous community data for the leaderboard.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Article 15) — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification (Article 16) — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure (Article 17) — request deletion of your personal data
• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18) — request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability (Article 20) — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object (Article 21) — object to the processing of your data
• Right to withdraw consent — withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@llm-ventures.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.

If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (supervisory authority). A list of EEA data protection authorities is available on the European Data Protection Board website.

When you consent to analytics cookies, your data may be transferred to and processed on servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States (Google Analytics servers). These transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us at info@llm-ventures.com and we will promptly delete it.

The PocketPal AI mobile application processes all data locally on your device. No personal data, conversations, or model inputs are transmitted to our servers. The app does not require an account or internet connection for its core functionality.

Benchmark submissions to the community leaderboard are entirely voluntary and anonymous. They contain only device and performance information — no personal data is included.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our website.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our data practices, please contact us at info@llm-ventures.com.
