ServerGuardAI ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our macOS and iOS application ("App") and related services.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you use ServerGuardAI, we authenticate you via your Apple ID through iCloud. We store a unique iCloud identifier to associate your servers and settings with your account. We do not collect your name, email address, or password.
1.2 Server Metrics
Our lightweight agent, installed on your Linux servers, collects performance metrics including:
- CPU, memory, disk, swap, and network usage
- Process lists and service status
- SSL certificate expiry information
- Log snippets (last 300 lines of configured logs)
- Server profile information (OS, hosting panel, firewall type)
This data is transmitted to our API for storage and display within the App. Metrics are retained for a limited period and partitioned monthly.
1.3 Device Information
We collect your device's push notification token and a unique device identifier to deliver push alerts. This information is stored securely and used solely for notification delivery via Apple Push Notification Service (APNs).
1.4 Usage Analytics (Optional)
With your explicit opt-in consent, we may collect anonymous usage analytics to improve the App. This may include feature usage patterns, app launch frequency, and crash reports. Analytics data is fully anonymised and cannot be linked back to you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the ServerGuardAI service
- Display server metrics and dashboards within the App

- Process AI-powered diagnostics (Pro tier, using anonymised metrics)
- Improve and optimise the App experience
- Provide customer support
3. AI-Powered Analysis
If you use our AI diagnostics feature (Pro tier), your server metrics, logs, and profile data may be sent to third-party AI providers (OpenAI or Anthropic) for analysis. This data is:
- Transmitted securely via encrypted connections
- Not used by AI providers for model training
- Not stored by AI providers beyond the duration of the request
- Stripped of personally identifiable information before transmission
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following circumstances:

- Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, or legal process
- Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of ServerGuardAI, our users, or the public
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard protections including:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit
- Encrypted storage for sensitive credentials (API keys, HMAC secrets)
- Rate limiting and access controls on all API endpoints
- Regular security reviews and updates
6. Cookies
The ServerGuardAI App does not use cookies. Our website (serverguardai.com) may use essential cookies for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
7. Data Retention
- Server metrics: Retained and partitioned monthly; older partitions are periodically purged
