Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 26, 2026
~/.merrymen and never leave it, and we operate no backend that receives them. The one exception is the iOS beta list: if you type your email into that form, we keep the address. Nothing else, and only until the beta ships or you ask us to delete it.1 · The software
merrymen runs locally on your computer. It stores its settings, keys, ledger, strategies, and your agent's “soul” files in a directory on your machine (~/.merrymen by default). This data:
- Stays on your machine. We have no server that receives or stores any of it.
- Includes secrets (API keys, bot tokens, generated wallet keys) that never leave your device and are masked before they are ever shown in the local dashboard.
- Is under your control — you can read, edit, or delete it at any time.
When you configure third-party services, merrymen sends requests directly from your machine to those providers using the keys you supply:
- Blockchain RPC / bundler providers — to read chain state and submit transactions.
- Anthropic — if you set an Anthropic key, for the LLM strategist, chat, and vision. Message content you send is processed under Anthropic's terms.
- Telegram — if you connect a bot, messages flow between you and your bot through Telegram under Telegram's terms.
- Transcription provider — if you enable voice, your voice notes are sent to the endpoint you configure.
We are not a party to those exchanges and do not receive copies of them. Each provider's own privacy policy governs the data it receives.
2 · This website
merrymen.dev is a static informational site. It does not ask you to sign in, does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and asks for nothing about you except on the iOS beta form described in section 3. Like most sites, our host (Vercel) may process basic, non-identifying request logs (such as IP address and user agent) for security and reliability; that processing is governed by the host's privacy policy. Links to third-party sites (GitHub, npm, provider docs) are governed by those sites' policies.
3 · The one thing we do collect: the iOS beta list
If you enter your email address into the iOS beta form on this site, we store that address so we can tell you when there is a build to install. That is the only personal information merrymen collects anywhere, and it is collected only because you typed it in.
- What is stored: your email address, the word “ios”, and the date you signed up. Nothing else — no IP address, no browser or device details, no referrer, no tracking identifier, and no time of day.
- Where: a file on a private disk attached to our own server. It is not in a third-party mailing-list product, and it is not in the public repository.
- What we do with it: email you about the iOS beta. Nothing else. No newsletter, no product marketing, no “we thought you'd also like”.
- How long: until the beta ships or you ask us to remove you, whichever is first. Ask and it is deleted — no account needed, no confirmation loop.
The public page shows how many people are waiting. That number reveals no one; the list of addresses is never served over the internet.
4 · No sale or sharing of personal data
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data. The beta list above is the only personal data we hold, it goes to no one else, and there is no advertising or analytics business attached to any part of this project.
5 · Children
merrymen is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
6 · Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
