Contributing to TOVIO

What leaves your machine, what the portal collects, and how to get it removed.

Privacy, data & your account

No background reporting to the project — and exactly what does leave your machine, when, and what it carries.

Does TOVIO phone home?

The four values a link may carry, what the portal itself holds, and the AI processing that is switched on.

Reading the public roadmap

One system of record, and what everything else is a copy of.
