Back to Atomic

Privacy Policy

Bastani Inc. ("Bastani," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use Atomic, our terminal-based command-line application, and our website (the "Services").

Atomic runs entirely on your local machine. Bastani does not operate servers that process, store, or relay your data. No data passes through Bastani — all interactions with AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, OpenCode, or GitHub Copilot CLI) are sent directly from your device to the third-party provider you choose. The only data Bastani receives is anonymous telemetry about Atomic slash commands, and only if you explicitly opt in.

This Privacy Policy also describes your privacy rights. More information about your rights, and how to exercise them, is set out in Section 4 ("Rights and Choices").

1. Data Collection

Atomic Runs Locally

Atomic operates entirely on your local machine. Your source code, files, project data, configuration, session history, and all Inputs and Outputs remain on your device. Bastani does not have access to any of this data. We do not operate servers that receive, process, or store your code or conversations.

Third-Party AI Coding Agents

Atomic integrates with third-party AI coding agent backends, including Claude Code (Anthropic), OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot CLI (Microsoft). When you use these integrations, your Inputs are transmitted directly from your device to the applicable third-party provider — they do not pass through Bastani. Bastani does not control the data practices of these third-party providers, and you should review their privacy policies independently.

Telemetry (Opt-In Only)

Telemetry collection is disabled by default. If you choose to opt in through Atomic's application settings, we collect anonymous telemetry data about the Atomic slash commands you run, such as which commands are invoked and how frequently. This telemetry does not include the content of your code, conversations, Inputs, or Outputs. It is used solely to improve Atomic. You may disable telemetry at any time through the application settings.

Communication Information

If you contact us directly (for example, by email), we receive the contents of any messages you send.

No Third-Party Data Collection

Bastani does not obtain or collect data from third-party external sources.

2. Uses of Data

We use the limited data we receive for the following purposes:

  • To improve Atomic — this is the sole purpose for which we use telemetry data.
  • To respond to your communications if you contact us directly.

3. How We Disclose Data

Because Bastani does not operate servers and does not collect or store user data beyond anonymous opt-in telemetry, we have very limited data to disclose. The following may apply:

  • Third-Party AI Agent Providers: When you use Atomic with a third-party AI coding agent backend (such as Claude Code, OpenCode, or GitHub Copilot CLI), your data is transmitted directly from your device to that provider. Bastani does not intermediate or have access to these transmissions. These providers operate under their own privacy policies.
  • Third-Party Integrations: Atomic may integrate with third-party tools and services, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, source control platforms, and other developer tools. By using these integrations, you may be providing information directly to third parties from your device, subject to their privacy policies.
  • Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose data we hold (such as telemetry data) to governmental authorities as required by law or in response to legal process.
  • Corporate Transactions: If Bastani is involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transfer of business assets, we may disclose any data we hold as part of such transactions.

4. Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable laws, you may enjoy certain rights regarding your data. To exercise your rights, you may submit a request by emailing us at stealthbastani@gmail.com.

  • Telemetry: Anonymous telemetry collection is disabled by default and only enabled if you explicitly opt in through Atomic's application settings. You may disable telemetry at any time. This is the only data Bastani receives from your use of Atomic.
  • Local Data: All Atomic data (sessions, configuration, history, Inputs, Outputs) is stored locally on your device. You have full control over this data and can delete it at any time by removing the relevant files (e.g., the ~/.atomic/ directory) or by using the atomic uninstall command. Bastani does not have access to data stored on your machine.
  • Third-Party Agent Data: Any data sent to third-party AI coding agent providers is governed by their respective privacy policies. To exercise rights over that data, contact the relevant provider directly.
  • Sale and Targeted Marketing: Bastani does not sell your data as defined by applicable law. Bastani does not engage in targeted advertising.
  • Automated Decision-Making: Bastani does not engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal effects or significantly affects you.

5. Data Transfers

Bastani does not operate servers and does not transfer your data. When you use a third-party AI coding agent through Atomic, your data is transmitted directly from your device to the third-party provider, which may be located in another country. These transfers are governed by the third-party provider's privacy policy. If you opt in to telemetry, your anonymous telemetry data may be processed in the United States.

6. Data Retention and Security

Telemetry Data

If you opt in to telemetry, we retain anonymous telemetry data for as long as reasonably necessary to improve the Services. This data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you.

Local Data

Atomic stores session data, configuration files, workflow state, and task histories locally on your device (e.g., in the ~/.atomic/ directory). This local data is under your control. You may delete local data at any time by removing the relevant files or by using the atomic uninstall command. Bastani does not have access to data stored solely on your local machine.

7. Children

Our Services are not directed towards, and we do not knowingly collect information from, children under the age of 18. If you become aware that a child under 18 has provided data to us, please email us at stealthbastani@gmail.com and we will investigate and, if appropriate, delete the data.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Bastani may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes as appropriate and update the Effective Date at the top of this page.
