DSGVO-Compliant AI Assistant.
No Cloud. No Data Processing.

La realidad

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), known as DSGVO (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung) in German-speaking countries, sets strict requirements for processing personal data. Any AI tool that transmits data to the cloud typically requires a Data Processing Agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag / AVV) under Article 28 GDPR, along with safeguards against unauthorized third-country transfers.

With Skales, none of that applies. Since all data is processed exclusively on your local device, there is no data processor under GDPR. No cloud, no third-party vendors, no data transfers - making Skales the simplest AI solution from a data protection perspective in many use cases.

All Data Stored Locally

Every conversation, every memory, every file you share with Skales is stored at ~/.skales-data on your own machine. No data is transmitted to any external server. No cloud storage, no third-party backup.

No Data Processing Agreement Needed

Because Skales processes data locally, there is no data controller-processor relationship under GDPR Article 28. No vendor DPA (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) to negotiate, no Article 46 transfer safeguards, no data flow outside your premises.

Fully Offline with Ollama

Connect Ollama and Skales runs without any internet connection. No API calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any cloud provider. Complete air-gap capability - suitable for law firms, medical practices, and regulated industries.

No Account, No Registration

No email address required. No account to create. No login portal, no password, no profile. There is no Skales account - so there is no Skales user database holding your personal data.

API Keys Encrypted Locally

If you choose to use a cloud API provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), your API key is stored in your OS keychain - encrypted locally, never transmitted to Skales servers. We never see your key.

Source Code Available

Skales is source-available under BSL-1.1. The full source code is readable on GitHub. Any technically capable person can verify exactly what data is collected, transmitted, and stored - and confirm that it matches what we describe here.

“Our data protection officer approved it in one meeting. That has never happened before.”
