Kola is provided by Perennify Ltd ("Perennify", "we", "us"). Kola is local-first: it indexes and stores your data on your own Mac, and we operate no server that receives, stores, or processes your personal data. By default, the data from the accounts you connect — including Slack — never leaves your device.
A few features are off until you turn them on, and depend on an outside provider to work. When you enable one, it sends only the data that feature needs. Those providers — our "sub-processors" — are listed below. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
The last four rows are not app features. They serve the getkola.app website and the app download, and they see only what a website sees. The three that measure how the website is used run only after you accept the cookie banner.
| Provider | Purpose | Data processed | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | AI assistant (Claude) and the Claude plugin | Your prompts and the specific records the assistant reads to answer them | Only when you use the AI assistant or plugin |
| OpenAI | Optional AI features you run on your own ChatGPT plan | The prompts and records the related feature sends to generate a response | Only if you connect your ChatGPT plan and use those features |
| Automattic (Gravatar) | Profile photo lookups | A hashed form of a contact's email address | Only if you enable Gravatar photos |
| Cloudflare | Static website hosting and app-update delivery | Standard technical request data (IP address, user agent) — not your indexed personal data | When you visit the site or check for updates |
| Microsoft (Clarity) | Measuring how the getkola.app website is used | Pages opened, clicks, scrolling and a replay of the visit, plus IP address and user agent — not your indexed personal data | Only on the website, and only after you accept the cookie banner |
| PostHog | Measuring how the getkola.app website is used | Page views, clicks and a replay of the visit, plus IP address and user agent — not your indexed personal data | Only on the website, and only after you accept the cookie banner |
| Google (Analytics) | Measuring how the getkola.app website is used | Page views and clicks, the site that sent you here, plus approximate location, IP address and user agent — not your indexed personal data | Only on the website, and only after you accept the cookie banner |
If you don't enable the optional app features above, the data they would send never leaves your Mac. Each sub-processor handles data under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not use your data — or share it with any sub-processor — to train AI or machine-learning models.
We may update this list as Kola evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
