1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using SovereignCommand (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part, you may not use the Service.
These Terms apply to all tiers: Free (self-hosted), Pro (managed cloud), and Enterprise (on-premise). Additional terms may apply to Pro/Enterprise subscriptions.
2. Privacy Policy — Zero Cloud, Zero Telemetry
Core Privacy Principle
No message, contact, or AI inference ever leaves your machine. This is not marketing — it is architectural fact.
- Zero cloud egress: All message data, contacts, drafts, and encryption keys remain on your infrastructure. The only outbound network traffic is the WhatsApp WebSocket connection to Meta's servers (required for message delivery) and optional HTTPS to your own Cloudflare Worker (Pro/Enterprise).
- Zero telemetry: No analytics, crash reporting, usage tracking, or phone-home mechanisms exist in the codebase. We cannot see your data even if we wanted to.
- Local AI only: Reflection, translation, and draft generation run via Ollama (
gemma2:2b) on your hardware. No external LLM APIs are called. - Encrypted at rest: SQLCipher with AES-256. Database key derived from your passphrase via PBKDF2 (100,000 iterations).
- No account recovery: There is no "forgot password." Your encryption passphrase is the only key. Lose it, and your data is cryptographically unrecoverable.
3. Data Sovereignty Statement
You Own Your Data. Period.
SovereignCommand is built on the principle that your communications are your property. We provide the software; you provide the hardware (Free) or we provide the hosting (Pro/Enterprise). In no scenario do we claim ownership, license, or rights to your messages, contacts, or derived data.
- Portability: Your data is stored in an open SQLite/SQLCipher format. Export anytime via the Database view or
/api/v1/messagesendpoint. - No vendor lock-in: The core is MIT-licensed. Self-host on any platform. Migrate between tiers freely.
- No training on your data: Local AI models are pre-trained. We do not fine-tune on your messages. We do not use your data to improve models.
- Legal requests: We cannot comply with data requests for your self-hosted data because we never have it. For Pro/Enterprise, we can only provide encrypted blobs without keys.
4. Open-Core License
MIT License (Core Components)
The following are open source under the MIT License:
- Go gRPC backend (orchestrator, WhatsApp bridge, database, reflection, queue, gRPC handlers)
- SQLCipher schema and SQLC-generated data access layer
- Protocol Buffer definitions (
proto/sovereign/v1/) - Web UI (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Flutter app (when released)
You may use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the MIT-licensed software.
Proprietary (Managed Service Components)
The following are proprietary and require a valid Pro/Enterprise license:
- Cloudflare Worker proxy (authentication, rate limiting, multi-tenancy, request routing)
- Stripe billing integration (checkout, portal, webhooks, subscription management)
- Multi-user API key management dashboard
- Managed deployment automation (Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines)
- SLA-backed support and on-premise deployment assistance
5. Acceptable Use Policy
