AI Models & Services in RhinoArtisan
Privacy, Data and Third-Party Services
Using an AI feature means sending something to an outside company so it can be answered. That is unavoidable: it is what a frontier model is. What is avoidable is being vague about what gets sent.
What leaves your computer
The Assistant: your message, the earlier turns of that conversation, and any material you attach to it. Nothing else from your machine.
Flow Studio AI: the description of the job you want scripted, and the script under discussion.
Generative AI: your prompt, plus any reference image or view of your design you choose to send.
Search: only the text of a Smart query. The indexes live in your user folder and the matching and ranking run locally over them, so your files, previews, prices and client data never leave your computer.
What never leaves
Your models, your Curator archive, your price lists, your client records, your technical documentation and your production files. RhinoArtisan does not upload your work anywhere, and there is no background sync.
Your relationship is with the provider
The keys are yours and the accounts are yours, which means the data-handling terms that apply are theirs, not ours. RhinoArtisan is the program making the request on your behalf; we do not receive, store or process what you send, and we cannot see your conversations.
Both publish their policies, including how long requests are retained and whether they are used for training. If your work is under NDA, that is the document to read and both offer settings and account tiers that affect the answer.
If you cannot send anything at all
Some work genuinely cannot leave the building. In that case the answer is not to find a different provider, it is to not use the AI tools for that job. Everything else in RhinoArtisan works with no outside connection at all: modeling, gemsets, manufacturing checks, pricing, reports and rendering never contact a provider.
