Privacy Policy

Hardstop is a local-only Claude Code plugin. This document describes what data it collects and how it's handled.

Data Collection

What Hardstop Collects

Hardstop only processes and stores data locally on your machine:

Data Purpose Storage
Command text Safety analysis Logged to ~/.hardstop/audit.log
Working directory Context for analysis Logged to audit.log
Verdict (ALLOW/BLOCK) Decision record Logged to audit.log
Timestamp Audit trail Logged to audit.log

What Hardstop Does NOT Collect

  • No personal information
  • No conversation history
  • No API keys or credentials
  • No telemetry or analytics
  • No data sent to external servers

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.hardstop/:

~/.hardstop/
├── state.json    # Plugin enabled/disabled state
├── skip_next     # Temporary one-time bypass flag
└── audit.log     # Command decision log (JSON-lines)

Data Transmission

Hardstop sends no data to external servers.

The only network activity is the optional LLM analysis layer, which uses the local Claude CLI (claude --print). This runs within your existing Claude subscription and is subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.

Data Retention

  • audit.log grows over time as commands are analyzed
  • You can delete ~/.hardstop/ at any time to remove all stored data
  • No automatic data expiration or cleanup

Third-Party Services

Hardstop uses:

  • Claude CLI (optional) — For LLM-based semantic analysis of edge cases
  • No other third-party services

Your Rights

You can:

  • View all stored data: cat ~/.hardstop/audit.log
  • Delete all data: rm -rf ~/.hardstop/
  • Disable logging: Not currently supported (audit log is always written)

Changes to This Policy

Updates will be documented in the repository changelog.
