Engram is a local-first, offline-capable AI memory backend. This policy explains what data is stored, where it stays, and what we never collect.
Local-first by design
All memories you store with Engram live exclusively on your own machine in a SQLite database at the path you configure (default: ~/.engram/engram.db). Engram does not upload, sync, or transmit your memories or any part of them to any server — not ours, not anyone else's.
Embeddings run locally
Semantic embeddings are computed using ONNX Runtime WASM with the Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model (23 MB, downloaded once from Hugging Face CDN on first run). After the initial download, all embedding computation happens entirely on your device with no network requests.
This website (engram.am)
The engram.am website collects no personal data, runs no analytics, and sets no tracking cookies. The only cookie stored is engram_lang — a language preference cookie (value: "en" or "hy", 1-year expiry) that is set only when you explicitly switch languages using the language toggle. No third-party scripts are loaded.
Webhooks (optional, user-configured)
If you choose to configure webhooks, memory event payloads (stored, forgotten, decayed, consolidated, contradiction) are sent via HTTP POST to URLs you specify. Engram has no knowledge of these URLs and no involvement in their operation beyond dispatching the request. You are solely responsible for the privacy practices of any webhook endpoint you configure.
Third-party services
When you install @engram-ai-memory/mcp or any other Engram package via npm, npm's own privacy policy applies to that download. When you clone from GitHub, GitHub's privacy policy applies. Engram itself does not interact with any third-party services during normal operation.
Open source & auditability
Engram is fully open source under the MIT license. Every line of code that runs on your machine is auditable at github.com/ayvazyan10/engram. There is no proprietary telemetry, no hidden network calls, and no obfuscated code.
