Privacy Overview
RAG-DocBot is built with privacy as a core design principle, not an afterthought.
On-Premise by Design
RAG-DocBot runs entirely on your own infrastructure. There are:
- No external API calls — all AI inference is handled locally by the
inferenceservice using your GGUF model file. - No telemetry — no usage data, error reports, or analytics are sent anywhere.
- No SaaS dependencies — the system operates independently of any cloud service.
All document data, conversation history, and user information stays within your environment.
Air-Gapped Deployments
Once the Docker images are pulled and the system is running, RAG-DocBot does not require internet access. It is suitable for deployment in air-gapped or highly restricted network environments.
Privacy by Default
Out of the box, RAG-DocBot applies privacy-preserving defaults to its logging and data retention behaviour. See Data Retention for details.
