Privacy
Last updated June 2026
aicash is built so that earning from your terminal never costs you your privacy. Here is exactly what the client reads, what leaves your machine, and what we store.
The short version
- Your prompts stay yours. The client reads recent context locally and only sends a small derived ad request — never your full transcript.
- The Gravity API key lives only on the hosted proxy. It is never shipped in the client, so there is nothing to leak from your machine.
- IP addresses are hashed with a rotating salt before storage. We don't keep raw IPs.
- Ads serve anonymously by default. You only become identifiable to your earnings account after you run aicash login.
What the client reads locally
On each status-line refresh, the aicash client reads the recent conversation context from your AI CLI's transcript on disk. This happens entirely on your machine to decide which single ad is relevant.
Only a compact, derived signal is sent to the network to request one matching ad — not your raw prompts, files, or full transcript.
What we store
| Data | Why | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account email | Sign-in and linking earnings to you | Only after you run aicash login |
| Install ID | Attributes impressions to a machine | A random per-machine identifier |
| Impression & click events | Computing a fair revenue split | Backed by single-use nonces |
| Hashed IP | Anti-fraud filtering | Rotating salt; raw IP not kept |
| Payout wallet / details | Paying you out | Only what you enter in the dashboard |
Anti-fraud, not surveillance
Fraud protection uses single-use nonces and HMAC-signed pixels to stop replay and forgery. The payout pool is fixed real advertiser revenue, so filtering fraud protects honest earners — it is not behavioral tracking.
Your controls
- Run aicash logout to unlink this machine — it keeps serving ads anonymously.
- Run aicash uninstall to remove the status line entirely.
- Manage or delete your account and payout details from the dashboard.
