Asynq Buddy Privacy Policy

Asynq Buddy is designed around a local-first model. The mobile app connects to your own paired asynq-agentd instance, which runs on a machine you control.

What the app does

The Buddy mobile app lets you view observed agent sessions, inspect managed sessions, review approvals, and start or continue managed work through your paired daemon.

What data is processed

Depending on the feature you use, Buddy may display:

  • session titles and summaries
  • project names and project paths
  • approval actions and review context
  • recent output, input prompts, and changed file paths
  • lightweight device pairing information

Where your data lives today

By default, Buddy talks only to your paired asynq-agentd instance. Session state, approvals, recent work, and lightweight product telemetry are currently stored on that paired machine inside the local daemon's storage.

The mobile app does not currently send your prompts, outputs, source files, or session transcripts to Asynq-operated servers as part of normal product use.

Local telemetry during early access

During early access, Buddy may record lightweight product usage events such as pairing completion, review opens, managed session creation, and takeover starts.

These events are currently stored locally on the paired machine through asynq-agentd. They are used to support debugging and future product analysis. They do not currently sync to Asynq-operated servers by default.

What is not included in local telemetry

  • full source file contents
  • full agent transcripts by default
  • auth tokens or pairing secrets
  • payment information

Future telemetry sync

If Asynq later adds central telemetry sync for product analytics, the intent is to make that explicit and transparent. The current plan is that any future sync beyond local daemon storage would be introduced separately rather than silently enabled.

Third-party services

Buddy depends on your own runtime environment, including tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Tailscale, and any model providers or services those runtimes use. Their respective privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
