Transparency & Inspection

Data Rights

• Export Your Data: Export and backup your own personal data stored locally
• Delete Your Data: Delete all application data from your devices at any time
• API Keys: Use your own third-party API keys (Google, Anthropic, OpenAI)

Important: "Viewing source" for transparency does NOT grant you rights to copy, modify, or redistribute the code.

Source Code Transparency

PDA-i operates on a "viewable but not copyable" model:

Why Source is Viewable

• Security Transparency: Users can verify our encryption implementations (AES-256-GCM)
• Privacy Audits: Users can confirm zero-tracking claims in web version
• Trust Building: No obfuscation or hidden functionality
• Educational: Users can learn from architectural patterns

Viewing ≠ License to Copy

While the source code is viewable for transparency, this does NOT constitute:

• An open source license (NOT MIT, GPL, Apache, etc.)
• Permission to copy or redistribute
• Permission to create derivative works
• Permission to use in commercial projects
• A waiver of copyright protection

Analogy: You can view art in a museum, but you cannot take it home or sell copies. The same principle applies here.
