Security & Privacy

MIRIX is designed with privacy and security as core principles. All sensitive data processing happens locally, with user-controlled privacy settings and enterprise-grade security practices.

Privacy Principles

1. Local Data Storage: All long-term user data remains on your local machine
2. User-Controlled Cloud: Only your personal Google Cloud account is used for temporary storage
3. Automatic Cleanup: Screenshots are automatically deleted after processing
4. No Third-Party Sharing: Your data never leaves your control
5. Transparent Processing: All data processing is documented and auditable

Screenshot Handling

Capture Process

# MIRIX screenshot workflow
def screenshot_workflow():
    # 1. Capture screenshot every second
    screenshot = capture_screen()

    # 2. Upload to YOUR Google Cloud storage
    upload_to_user_cloud(screenshot, user_bucket)

    # 3. Keep only recent 600 screenshots (~10 minutes)
    maintain_recent_screenshots(limit=600)

    # 4. Process screenshots through agents
    process_with_agents(screenshot)

    # 5. Delete processed screenshots
    delete_processed_screenshots()
