Architect-DNA
Systems
Privacy-first software for web, Android, and iOS. We build tools at the intersection of AI, law, and human expression — zero tracking, zero compromise.
Apps & Products
Built different, by design
Architect-DNA Systems is an independent software studio based in Switzerland, building privacy-first applications for web, Google Play, and the App Store.
Every product ships with a clear principle: no accounts where not needed, no tracking, no data leaving your device without your explicit action. Most apps run entirely in the browser or on-device, secured with WebAuthn passkeys and local encryption.
Our stack spans AI interfaces, legal technology, gamified movement, and human-rights tooling — all under one roof at architect-dna.ch.
Privacy Policy
Overview
This privacy policy applies to all applications and services operated under the domain architect-dna.ch and its subdomains, including VELO NOIR, Podcast DNA, TACZ, Prompt Vault, LIA, ANWALT.GPT, Konnekt, and CV Card.
These applications are built with a privacy-by-design philosophy. Where technically possible, all data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to external servers.
Data We Collect
Most applications under architect-dna.ch collect no personal data. Specifically:
- All user data (API keys, settings, ride logs, mission progress, prompts) is stored in your browser's
localStorageon your own device. - GPS coordinates (VELO NOIR) are used locally to render the map and are never transmitted.
- Passkey credentials are managed entirely by your device's authenticator (Face ID, Touch ID, or platform authenticator) via the WebAuthn standard. We do not receive or store your biometric data.
- Rider cards and crew codes (VELO NOIR competition) are text strings you share manually — we do not relay or store them.
Authentication (Passkeys)
Passkey-enabled applications (Podcast DNA, TACZ, VELO NOIR) use the WebAuthn / FIDO2 standard with the PRF extension for key derivation. Your private key never leaves your device. We store only a credential ID (a random identifier) in localStorage to reference your authenticator. No biometric data is accessible to us.
LIA — Legal Vault
LIA stores encrypted evidence documents. Encryption is performed client-side before any data leaves your device. If cloud backup is enabled, only ciphertext is stored — the decryption key never leaves your device.
Cookies and Tracking
- We do not use cookies.
- We do not use analytics or tracking scripts.
- We do not use advertising networks.
- We do not fingerprint your device or browser.
Third-Party Services
Some applications use third-party AI APIs (Anthropic Claude). When you send a message to an AI feature, your input is transmitted to the respective provider's servers. Please review Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/privacy. We do not store your AI conversation history on our servers.
Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap tile servers. Your IP address may be visible to OpenStreetMap when fetching map data.
Data Retention and Deletion
All locally stored data can be deleted at any time by clearing your browser's site data for the respective subdomain, or by using the in-app reset/logout functions provided in each application.
Children's Privacy
Our applications are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Your Rights (GDPR / DSG)
As a user based in Switzerland or the European Union, you have the right to access, correct, and delete any personal data we hold. Since most data is stored locally on your own device, you are already in full control. For any questions, contact us at the address below.
