Security model.
Security starts with deployment choices you can name: the model endpoint, the hardware owner, the approved tools, and the people and devices allowed to connect.
The four data paths
Every Bridge deployment routes work along one or more of these paths — and you can always name which:
- Same-workstation runtime. The model runs on
localhost, on the machine running the desktop app. - Customer-network model server. A private IP to a runtime such as Ollama or vLLM on your own network.
- Alluqi Managed dedicated server. An off-site, single-tenant server over an encrypted path.
- Web search. If enabled, the model sends search terms to a search provider. Files, code, prompts, and answers stay on your hardware.
Mobile relay encryption
End-to-end encrypted mobile relay transport forwards opaque encrypted traffic between approved endpoints without giving the relay content keys or exposing plaintext prompts, code, or responses.
The transport boundary does not hide web-search terms from the search provider you choose to use. Where the model runs decides who processes it.
What hosted services store
Alluqi’s hosted services may store:
- Account metadata
- Host and device metadata
- Pairing and relay metadata
- Audit metadata
They are designed not to store or log:
- Prompts and responses
- File contents or paths
- Terminal output and screenshots
- Credentials, private keys, and session keys
- Approval payloads and command content
Identity and remote access
Sign-in is passwordless, using a one-time emailed code. A signed-in account is not the same as factor-verified pairing authority: authenticator-app TOTP or a valid one-time recovery factor is required for the approved pairing flow. After pairing, Bridge Mobile can continue active desktop sessions, send messages, and review task progress and file changes over the encrypted relay. See the mobile app.
Tools and permissions
A model does not automatically gain access to the whole computer, every file, terminal command, browser session, or business system. Permissions define which approved tools, resources, and actions a configured workflow can use.
What stays your responsibility
Explicit tools, working directories, user approvals, model choice, local backups, infrastructure access, and incident response remain part of customer responsibilities.
Compliance stance
Architecture supports a review. It does not replace one. Alluqi does not claim a certification or authorization unless it is named on the security page with current evidence.
