+						<h2 className="mb-3 text-lg font-semibold">CLI Tool</h2>
+						<p>
+							The kib CLI runs entirely on your local machine. All ingested content, compiled wiki
+							articles, and search indexes are stored in your local vault directory. When you use
+							commands that call an LLM (compile, query, chat), your content is sent directly to the
+							LLM provider you configured (Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Ollama instance). We do not
+							proxy, intercept, or log these requests.

+						<h2 className="mb-3 text-lg font-semibold">Chrome Extension</h2>
+						<p>
+							The kib Chrome extension extracts webpage content (text, title, and URL) from the
+							active tab when you click &quot;Save to kib.&quot; This content is sent to your
+							locally running kib server at <code>localhost:4747</code> and is never transmitted to
+							any external server.

+							<li>Does not transmit data to any server other than your local machine</li>

+						<p>
+							When you configure an LLM provider, your content is sent to that provider under their
+							terms of service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of your chosen
