Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

Hermes is a thin iOS client for a Hermes gateway that you choose. The app stores gateway profile metadata on device and stores API keys in the iOS Keychain.

Data the App Handles

• Gateway URL and profile name: stored locally on device so the app can reconnect.
• API key: stored locally in the iOS Keychain and sent only to the gateway URL you configure.
• Chat prompts, session history, file listings, file previews, run events, approval choices, and push registration data: sent to or received from the configured gateway as needed to provide the app experience.
• Voice input: speech recognition is configured for on-device recognition where supported. Hermes does not send microphone audio to the Hermes gateway for transcription.

Data Collection

Hermes does not include third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking SDKs. Hermes does not sell personal information.

The gateway you connect to is operated separately from this app. Its operator controls gateway logs, model providers, tools, filesystem access, and retention. Review that gateway operator's policies before sending sensitive content.

Permissions

• Microphone and speech recognition: used for voice input.
• Face ID: used to confirm approval of tool actions.
• Notifications: used for run status and approval notifications when the connected gateway supports push.
