Summary: Pyract is an AI-powered desktop and mobile assistant. We process voice, screen, clipboard, and device data to provide our services. Most processing happens locally on your device. We do not sell your personal information. We comply with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA/Quebec Law 25) and US state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, and others).
Pyract ("we," "us," "our") is operated by Pyract Technologies. Our primary place of business is in Canada. We develop and distribute the Pyract desktop and mobile application (the "App") and the website located at pyract.com and its subdomains (the "Website").
For the purposes of Canadian privacy law, we are the organization responsible for the personal information we collect. For the purposes of US state privacy laws, we are the "business" or "controller" of your personal data.
