# Local and remote data

> Understand SelfTune's local runtime, optional remote libraries, and explicit data boundaries.

SelfTune's default feedback loop is local. Skill discovery, supported agent
histories, normalized evidence, evaluation artifacts, and the local dashboard
can remain on your machine.

Remote systems solve a different problem:

* **Remote Library** stores immutable skill revisions, Skill Sets, decisions,
  and selected redacted summaries for sync and sharing.
* **Self-host** runs that library and dashboard on infrastructure you operate.
* **SelfTune Cloud** adds hosted creator, distribution, review, and contributor
  workflows.

Connecting a remote system does not make every local artifact eligible for
upload. The user still chooses the destination, identity, artifact types, and
action. Raw transcripts are not part of Remote Library sync.

See [Privacy and permissions](/guides/privacy-and-permissions) before crossing a
remote boundary.

Default to local operation. Before any remote action, report the destination,
identity, artifact manifest, sensitive-field handling, and reversibility. Ask
for explicit consent. A configured remote endpoint is not blanket permission
to upload.
