Privacy
LocalMax is anonymous by default. No accounts, no email address, no tracking scripts, no analytics. This page is the complete description of what leaves your machine.
What the runner collects
Only what makes a result comparable:
- GPU model, count, VRAM, driver and CUDA version, PCIe link generation and width, power limit and clock configuration
- CPU model, core count, architecture, total system RAM
- OS name, kernel version, container runtime version
- Profile ID and version, container image digest, model revision
- Every measured metric, the raw per-request records behind them, and the GPU telemetry trace
What it never collects
- Hostname, username, or any filesystem path
- GPU serial numbers, board UUIDs, MAC addresses, or any stable hardware identifier
- Environment variables, shell history, or data about unrelated processes
- Your IP address is used transiently for rate limiting and is never stored with a result
Log output is redacted locally before it is written into the evidence bundle: paths, home directories, usernames and anything matching a secret pattern are replaced. The server scans again on arrival and rejects any submission that still contains one.
Your system identity
The runner generates a random Ed25519 keypair the first time it runs and stores it in~/.localmax/identity.json. The public key acts as a pseudonymoussystem identifier, so your machine can accumulate a result history across driver updates and benchmark versions.
It is derived from randomness, not from your hardware. Delete that file and you are a new, unlinkable system. It is never correlated with an IP address. A display alias and system name are optional free text that you type in yourself.
Before anything is uploaded
localmax inspect prints the exact manifest and the full artifact list with no network access at all. localmax submit shows the same list and requires confirmation. Nothing is transmitted before you accept it.
Retention
- Incomplete or rejected uploads are deleted after seven days.
- Accepted evidence is retained while the result is public.
- Accepted manifests are public, permanent, and mirrored into Git history.
Removal
Email privacy@localmax.net with the run ID and the signature produced by localmax prove RUN_ID, which demonstrates control of the submitting key. The result and its evidence are removed. Git history is rewritten only for exposed secrets or personal data.
