Privacy and safety when using AI credits

Who sees my requests?

The model provider does not learn who you are. Virsilipas sends each request on with Pulsed Media's own account and from our own server, so your name, account, IP address and key are not passed on. Every customer's requests reach the provider under that same account; yours are not an account of their own.

What you or your app put in the request, the prompt included, does reach the provider that runs the model, and we cannot audit what a provider keeps. Leave passwords, keys and personal details out of what you send.

What happens to my prompts?

The credit service passes each request to the model that answers it. Its code never stores or logs the text of your prompts or the answers. Per request it records counts: tokens, credits, the model alias, the status and the timing. That is what your usage table is built from.

With an AI agent, the request also carries whatever the agent reads while working for you: file contents and command output.

The credit service is open source: mcxVirsilipas on GitHub.

Keeping your key safe

  • Anyone with your key can spend your credits. Keep it out of web folders, torrents, screenshots and shared files.
  • On the seedbox, keep ~/.virsilipasKey readable only by you: chmod 600 ~/.virsilipasKey.
  • If it may have leaked, press Get a new key on the Virsilipas AI key page. The old key stops working at once.

Using an AI agent safely

  • An agent can delete or overwrite anything your account can. Back up data you cannot replace first.
  • Read each command before you approve it, and avoid fully automatic modes while the agent works on downloaded files or web pages: text inside them can carry instructions aimed at the agent.
  • Point the agent at the directories it needs and keep it away from private files.
