AI 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 messages and the earlier turns of that conversation, a short summary of the open design with every message (its type, metals, ring size and layers), and whatever the Assistant reads from the design to answer you: its elements and their parameters, the gems, the weights and, when you ask about price, the pricing breakdown and the Boutique data.
Flow Studio AI: the description of the job you want scripted, the script under discussion, and the document context it reads first: the units, what is selected, and the gems in the selection.
Generative AI Studio: your prompt, plus any reference image or capture of your design you choose to send.
File 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 files: 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. The tools above send only the data listed for each one, and only for a request you make.
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.
