Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 12, 2026

The short version: merrymen is self-hosted. The software runs entirely on your own machine, your keys and data live in ~/.merrymen and never leave it, and we operate no backend that receives them. This website collects no personal information about you.

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 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 does not collect personal information you provide. 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 · No sale or sharing of personal data

We don't collect personal data through the software or the site, so there is nothing for us to sell, rent, or share.

4 · Children

merrymen is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their data.

5 · Changes

We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
