Why Privacy Matters for AI Agents

AI agents are becoming the most intimate software we use. They read our emails, manage our calendars, write our code, and handle our business logic. Yet most hosted AI platforms run these deeply personal agents on shared infrastructure where your data is one misconfiguration away from exposure.

The Shared Infrastructure Problem

Traditional cloud hosting pools resources across customers. Your AI agent's memory, conversation history, and API keys live on the same physical machines as hundreds of other users. This creates several risks:

• Data leakage -- A vulnerability in the platform could expose your agent's context to other tenants.
• Operator access -- Platform administrators typically have root access to all customer workloads.
• Compliance gaps -- Shared infrastructure makes it nearly impossible to prove data isolation for regulatory requirements.
• Supply chain risk -- A compromised dependency on the shared platform affects everyone.

Verifiable Privacy, Not Trust-Based Privacy

RunClaw takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of asking you to trust us, we give you verifiable guarantees:

Dedicated VPS per customer. Your agent instance runs on its own virtual private server. There are no other tenants, no shared processes, no pooled storage.

Zero-knowledge architecture. After your server is provisioned and your LLM keys are injected, we delete all sensitive configuration from our systems. We literally cannot access your agent's data because we don't retain the credentials to do so.

Open-source provisioning. Our cloud-init templates are published for audit. You can verify exactly what runs on your server from the first boot.

Admin key deletion. During provisioning, we use a temporary SSH key to set up your server. Once the phone-home callback confirms successful setup, that key is deleted. No backdoors, no persistent access.

Why This Matters Now

As AI agents gain capabilities -- browsing the web, executing code, managing files -- the attack surface grows. An agent with access to your email and calendar is a high-value target. Running it on shared infrastructure is like storing your house keys in a communal drawer.

The rise of autonomous AI agents makes dedicated infrastructure not just a nice-to-have but a security requirement. When your agent can take actions on your behalf, you need to know that the infrastructure it runs on is exclusively yours.

The BYOH Option

For maximum control, RunClaw supports Bring Your Own Hardware mode. Connect your own Hetzner account and we'll provision your agent on your infrastructure. You own the server, the data, and the billing relationship with the cloud provider. We just handle the software management.

Making the Switch

Moving to dedicated hosting used to mean hiring a DevOps team and managing servers yourself. RunClaw automates the entire lifecycle -- provisioning, TLS certificates, DNS, updates, backups -- while keeping you in full control of your data.
