# Privacy and permissions

> Understand SelfTune's local data, optional remote boundaries, and consent-sensitive actions.

SelfTune starts local. Installing the skill, reading local agent histories,
installing hooks, running a background service, and connecting a remote library
are separate actions with separate permission boundaries.

## Local data

Local SelfTune can read supported agent histories, discover skill packages, and
store normalized evidence in its local state directory. The local dashboard and
CLI read the same data. A local quickstart does not require remote upload.

Treat agent histories as sensitive even when SelfTune normalizes them. Limit
filesystem access to the histories and skills required for the chosen workflow.

## Optional remote data

Cloud and self-hosted Remote Library connections are opt-in. Before connecting,
review the destination, account, artifact types, retention, and recipient
scope. Raw transcripts are not part of Remote Library sync; skill revisions,
selected drafts, Skill Sets, decisions, and redacted evidence summaries may be.

## Actions that require explicit approval

* installing hooks or importing historical sessions;
* enabling a persistent service or recurring schedule;
* creating an account, token, or credential;
* uploading evidence or skill artifacts;
* publishing or sharing a skill;
* enabling paid services or automatic mutations; and
* deleting local or remote data.

## Before approving a remote action

Ask the agent to show the exact destination, identity, files or fields, and
retention behavior. Prefer a preview or manifest. Keep raw prompts,
transcripts, credentials, and unrelated project files out of skill packages.

Begin with read-only, local inspection. State the data source, destination,
mutation, and reversibility before each consent-sensitive action. Do not infer
consent from a request to install or inspect SelfTune. A request to improve a
skill is not permission to publish it; a request to connect a library is not
permission to upload all local data.
