Privacy

Evidiant is a public reference site. There are no accounts and no sign-in, and reading is anonymous. The only thing you can send us is what you type into the search box, which is used to rank topics and is not linked to you.

Evidiant has no user accounts and no login. We do not collect names, emails, or any personal data from readers, and we do not use advertising or third-party trackers. The server keeps aggregate, privacy-respecting traffic counts via Lotl Observe (our own first-party analytics) to know which topics are read; this is not tied to your identity. If you use the search box, the text you type goes through Lotl AI, our AI gateway, to rank topics by meaning. Links to sources open in your own browser, and we do not track which ones you click.

What we collect

We collect and store the following:

Search text: If you type into the topic search box, the text is sent to Lotl AI, our AI gateway, which turns it into an embedding (a list of numbers) so topics can be ranked by meaning rather than exact words. It is not linked to any account, because Evidiant has none. AI features go through Lotl AI, our AI gateway service (ai.lotlsoft.com). Lotl AI forwards the prompt to DeepSeek by default, or to OpenAI for some features, such as web search. Image generation, where an app offers it, goes to fal or OpenAI. Anthropic is used only when a feature asks for it by name. Text embeddings are computed on a model we host ourselves, or by OpenAI if that model is not configured. For each request Lotl AI stores the app id, agent id, your user id if the app sends one, the provider and model, token counts, latency, cost, finish reason, any error, and any extra details the app attaches to the request. It does not keep the prompt or the response text. The provider receives the prompt, not your user id, and processes it under its own API terms; OpenAI's API terms exclude API data from model training.Stored on our server. Held briefly during the request and discarded, Neither Evidiant nor Lotl AI saves the text as data; our server request log records the address of each search request, which includes the text. Legal basis: legitimate interests. Not individually deletable. Shared with: OpenAI (via Lotl AI).

Third parties

These external services receive some of your data:

DigitalOcean — server hosting for Evidiant
OpenAI (via Lotl AI) — computes the search embedding only when our self-hosted embedding model is not configured; otherwise the search text stays on our own servers

Your rights

There is no account to export or delete, because Evidiant does not have accounts. Reading is anonymous, and nothing you read or search for here is recorded against an identity.
