Aesel is made by Aesthetic Computer. Contact mail@aesthetic.computer about your data.
Sign-in uses your Aesthetic Computer account, including your email address, user ID, and handle. Projects and conversation history are saved on your device. Windows sign-in opens your browser; saved credentials are encrypted for your Windows user account. Uninstalling the Windows app retains notebooks and credentials; sign out first or remove its local app-data folder to erase them. Aesel sends project content to the services needed to generate, preview, share, or publish your work.
Your prompts, relevant conversation history, source code, and tool results are sent to your selected AI provider to answer requests. Hosted text generation uses OpenRouter and the selected model provider. Hosted image generation sends prompts and any supplied reference image to OpenAI. If you connect your own provider, that provider receives the context needed for your requests. These services process data under their own privacy policies.

Native and browser notebooks stay in local app or browser storage. Hosted inference sends conversation context to AC and its inference provider. These clients do not upload a separate transcript journal.
Non-private terminal sessions ask for agreement to share their transcript with authorized AC staff. Uploaded transcripts remain until deletion. Use /transcript delete in the terminal to delete that uploaded copy. Future messages may be uploaded under the accepted policy. Private terminal mode omits this journal; inference and account verification still use the network.
Aesel creates live preview links so people with the link or QR code can watch an artifact develop. Treat shared previews as public. Published pieces and media are accessible on Aesthetic Computer and may be federated through its AT Protocol service. Deleting a transcript does not remove published artwork.
Our website counts page visits, visible time, interactions, referring website hostnames, and reviewed actions: Mac or Windows download clicks, completed browser sign-in, a changed piece successfully published after a request, and source export requests. It records only reviewed public route names and campaign labels (Instagram reel, TIAT QR, Menu Band), never full URLs, query strings, prompts, artwork, form values or keystrokes. Download and export requests do not prove a file was saved.
Signed-in browser activity is recorded separately using a server-verified AC account and may appear by @handle in private reports. Anonymous visit IDs are not joined to accounts. Both records expire after 35 days and respect Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control and our tracking opt-out. No tracking cookies or persistent visitor IDs are added. See network measurement privacy.
AC services process usage, errors, and network request information to operate the service, enforce generation limits, and diagnose failures. We do not sell your data. To delete your AC account, enter delete-erase-and-forget-me on Aesthetic Computer. You can also contact us for help with deletion.
See the Aesthetic Computer privacy policy for the wider service.
