Privacy
- Folkso gets the conditions of your task and a short summary of it. It never reads your chat history or your AI's memory.
- Your AI weighs how working with each person is likely to go. For that, Folkso gives it short work-style notes estimated from each shown person's profile. Only conditions you said or confirmed go into the search.
- After a search, your AI can add a short take on each person to their card. A take can mention how you like to work and nothing else about you. Only you see it, and Folkso deletes it after 30 days.
- Other people's contacts never reach the model. You swap contacts in Folkso after the person accepts your request.
- Your own contacts reach the model masked.
