Privacy

This describes what Qorvia actually does with your data, not a general statement of intent. Every claim below reflects the current shipping app; where something isn’t independently verifiable from the app’s own code, it’s said that way rather than rounded up.

Your question, schema, and database rows

Qorvia writes SQL using a language model that runs on your Mac — either a model you download once (verified against a checksum, removable at any time) or Apple Intelligence, when you turn it on. Neither is a cloud API. Your question, your database’s schema, the SQL that gets written, and every row a query returns are used only to answer you and are not transmitted anywhere else.

Your database connection

Qorvia connects directly from your Mac to the database server you configure — there is no server of ours in between. Passwords and SSH keys are stored in the macOS Keychain. If you connect through an SSH tunnel, the tunnel runs in-process on your Mac to the bastion host you specify.

What stays on this Mac

Your past questions are kept locally so you can find them again: the question you asked, the SQL statement, and the computed sentence. The rows a past answer was based on are deliberately not saved — ask Qorvia to run the question again to read them from your database.

Analytics, telemetry, and crash reporting

None are present in the app. Not disabled by a setting — there is no analytics SDK, crash reporter, or tracking code in Qorvia to send anything, even if it wanted to.

The on-device model

Downloading the optional local SQL model fetches a fixed set of model files from a public model repository (Hugging Face) over HTTPS. That request identifies which model file to fetch — it does not carry your database, your question, or anything else about your use of the app. After the model is installed, answering questions needs no network access at all.

Purchases

Qorvia is free to download, with a 7-day trial and then a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase, all through the Mac App Store and handled entirely by Apple’s StoreKit. Purchase and entitlement verification go through Apple; Qorvia does not run its own license server, and no payment detail ever reaches us. Which plan you are on is stored on this Mac and is not reported anywhere.

Databases you connect Qorvia to

If you connect Qorvia to a database hosted elsewhere — your own server, a managed cloud database, Cloudflare D1 — that connection is, by its nature, a network connection to the server you chose. That is separate from the claims above, which are about Qorvia’s own infrastructure: Qorvia itself has none between you and your database.
