Security & privacy

Your documents never leave the building.

MinerAI was built for firms that hold confidential and privileged material. Privacy isn’t a setting you switch on — it’s the default, and it’s enforced by how the product is built.

On-prem, air-gappable

MinerAI installs and runs on your own Windows workstation. It needs no cloud account and no outbound connection to function — suitable for environments where data simply cannot leave the network.

Read-only source files

Your original documents are opened read-only and indexed in place. MinerAI builds its own private index alongside them and never modifies the source archive.

Cite-only by construction

Outputs cite only passages that exist in your corpus. Any wording that can’t be matched back to a real source is flagged — so a reviewer always knows exactly what is and isn’t supported.

Tamper-evident audit log

Every run produces a verifiable record binding the retrieved passages, the model used, and the final output. Runs can be independently replayed to confirm nothing has drifted or been altered.

Guarantees, not promises

Properties enforced in code — and tested.

The behaviours firms rely on aren’t left to prompt instructions or good intentions. They’re structural properties of the product, each backed by automated tests that fail the build if the behaviour ever changes.

Grounding

Citations can be flagged as unsupported, but the system can never invent one. It only ever demotes a claim, never fabricates.

Two outcomes only

A query yields either a grounded answer or an explicit “not enough to answer.” There is no third path where unsupported text flows through.

Deterministic replay

The same inputs reproduce the same decisions, so any run can be re-checked later byte for byte.

Always an audit trail

A record is rendered for every run — even if retrieval found nothing or a step failed partway through.

Non-destructive upgrades

Re-indexing under a new model adds to the index rather than overwriting it, so historical analysis stays reproducible.

Privacy-safe telemetry

Diagnostics that can’t leak your work.

MinerAI keeps detailed operational logs so you can diagnose and tune its behaviour — but those logs are designed to be safe by construction. They record identifiers, counts, and timings only. Your query text, document contents, and file paths are never written to a diagnostic record.

Honest about its limits

It tells you when the answer isn’t there.

When your archive doesn’t contain enough to support an answer, MinerAI reports the gap instead of filling it with plausible-sounding text. For professional work product, knowing the limits of the evidence is as important as the evidence itself.

Private even when connected

The cloud layer never sees your files.

The optional Case Family Tree reference layer broadens your legal coverage without widening your exposure. Even connected, only your search terms reach the external lookup — never your documents, and never your index.

The bottom line

Useful AI you don’t have to take on faith.

Local by default, grounded in your own documents, and auditable end-to-end — so the output of every run can be checked, not just trusted.
