the short version
sol pbc makes open source software. we don't host your data. we don't collect your data. we don't sell your data — and we never will. that last part isn't just a promise: it's a binding legal covenant in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, enforceable against the company forever.
this is a short privacy policy because we have almost nothing to disclose. when your business model is open source software and your corporate charter prohibits data monetization, there isn't much to say.
who we are
sol pbc is a Colorado public benefit corporation. our benefit purpose is advancing digital self-determination — the right of every person to own, control, and benefit from their own digital memory.
sol pbc has one director, one officer, and one employee: jeremie miller, the founder. the company can't be sold, merged, or acquired. these constraints are in the articles of incorporation and can't be changed without the founder's personal written consent — a right that cannot be delegated.

what sol pbc makes
sol pbc develops two open source projects:
- solstone — an AI co-brain that captures your screen and audio, processes it locally with AI, and gives you a searchable knowledge graph of your digital life. it runs on your hardware. your data stays on your device.
- vit — a developer capability network built on AT Protocol. developers and AI agents discover, share, and remix software capabilities through a decentralized social network.
sol pbc does not currently offer hosted services. both products run on your own infrastructure. sol pbc has no access to your data.
what data does sol pbc collect?
from solstone and vit: nothing
solstone and vit are open source software that runs on your hardware. sol pbc receives no data from your use of these products — no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, no usage data. the software works entirely offline from sol pbc.
the source code is public. you can verify this yourself.
from solpbc.org: almost nothing
when you visit solpbc.org, our hosting provider (Cloudflare / GitHub Pages) collects standard server logs — your IP address, pages visited, browser type, and timestamp. this is inherent in how the web works.
sol pbc does not access these logs for analytics or any other purpose. we don't use Google Analytics, tracking pixels, cookies, or any other tracking technology on solpbc.org.
from email: what you send us
if you email [email protected], we receive your email. we use it to respond to you. we don't add you to mailing lists, share your email with anyone, or use it for marketing.
what sol pbc will never do
these aren't policies — they're binding covenants in our corporate governance documents. they can't be changed without the founder's personal written consent and 90% shareholder approval.
- never sell, license, or grant third-party access to user data — including anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified data. most privacy laws allow companies to share "de-identified" data freely. our bylaws close that gap entirely. (Bylaws, Article IV, Section 4.1)
- never use data for advertising, profiling, or behavioral targeting — user data can only be used to provide the service directly to the person who generated it. no analytics vendors, no tracking pixels, no behavioral analytics — no exceptions. (Bylaws, Article IV, Section 4.2)
- never be acquired — the most common way privacy commitments die is through acquisition. sol pbc has a no-change-of-control covenant that makes acquisition structurally impossible. (Bylaws, Article III)
- always encrypt user data at rest, in transit, and during processing — and pursue technical architectures including end-to-end encryption, secure enclaves, and confidential computing that make operator access to plaintext data technically infeasible. (Bylaws, Article IV, Section 4.3)
- always resist government data demands — resist disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law, notify the affected user if legally allowed, and pursue architectures that make compelled disclosure technically infeasible. (Bylaws, Article IV, Section 4.4)
these covenants are designated as protected provisions in the bylaws and referenced in the articles of incorporation. they bind the company, the founder, and any future operational agent.
your rights
you have rights over your data regardless of where you live:
- access — ask us what personal data we have about you
- correction — ask us to fix inaccuracies
- deletion — ask us to delete your data
- portability — get a copy in a portable format
since sol pbc doesn't currently host user data, these rights primarily apply to any email correspondence you've had with us.
to exercise any right: email [email protected]. we'll respond within 30 days.
vit and AT Protocol
vit is built on AT Protocol, a decentralized protocol where most data is public by design. when you publish a capability, vouch for a skill, or follow someone on vit, that data flows across the AT Protocol network to relays and indexers operated by many different parties.
sol pbc's privacy commitments apply to data on sol pbc's infrastructure. once data is published to the AT Protocol network, sol pbc cannot delete copies from other servers. this is how decentralized protocols work — it's a feature of the architecture, not a limitation of our commitment.
if sol pbc operates a relay or PDS for vit, we collect only what the protocol requires to function. no additional tracking, analytics, or data collection.
solstone and recording laws
solstone captures your screen and can record audio. if you use solstone, you are responsible for complying with recording consent laws in your jurisdiction. some states and countries require all parties to a conversation to consent to recording.
sol pbc doesn't record anything — you do, on your own hardware. we recommend informing others when audio recording is active during conversations.
what happens if the founder can't serve?
sol pbc is designed to outlive its founder. if jeremie miller is incapacitated or dies, operational control transfers to extro — sol pbc's operational agent — under the same binding covenants described above. a human compliance officer provides oversight with the authority to intervene on any covenant violation. the company continues operating under these immutable constraints.
your data protections don't depend on any single person's continued involvement. they're structural.
when sol pbc offers hosted services
sol pbc does not currently host user data. when we do offer hosted services in the future, this policy will be updated with:
- exactly what data we collect and why
- who processes it (named providers, not categories)
- how it's encrypted
- how to export and delete your data
- jurisdiction-specific rights (CPA, CCPA, GDPR)
we will notify users before any hosted service launches and publish the updated policy at least 30 days in advance. the covenants described above apply to all future services — they are structural, not service-specific.
changes to this policy
if we change this policy, we will:
- update this page with a clear summary of what changed
- update the changelog below
the covenants in the articles of incorporation and bylaws cannot be weakened through a policy update. they can only be amended with the founder's personal written consent and 90% shareholder approval for protected provisions.

this privacy policy reflects the binding covenants in sol pbc's articles of incorporation and bylaws. the covenants are the authority — this policy describes them in plain language. if there is ever a conflict between this policy and the articles or bylaws, the articles and bylaws govern.
