Privacy
LocalMax is anonymous. There are no accounts. No email address is needed. The site runs no tracking scripts. This page lists all data that leaves your machine.
What the runner collects
LocalMax collects only what makes a result comparable:
- GPU model, count, VRAM, driver, CUDA, PCIe link, power limit and clocks
- CPU model, core count, architecture and total RAM
- OS name, kernel version and container runtime version
- Profile ID and version, container image digest and model revision
- All measured values, the raw records for each request, and the telemetry
What it never collects
- Hostname, username or any file path
- GPU serial numbers, board UUIDs, MAC addresses or any fixed hardware identifier
- Environment variables, shell history or data about other processes
- LocalMax uses your IP address only to limit request rates. It never stores it with a result.
The runner removes paths, home directories, usernames and secrets from logs. It does this on your machine, before it writes the evidence. The server scans again. It rejects a submission that still contains a secret.
Your system name
The runner makes a random Ed25519 key pair on first use. It keeps the key in~/.localmax/identity.json. LocalMax makes a public name from that key, for example Rocinante-K7X2P. You do not type a name. Your results collect under one name across driver updates and benchmark versions.
The key is random. It does not come from your hardware. Delete that file and your machine becomes a new, unlinked system. LocalMax never connects it to an IP address. There is no free-text name field.
Before anything is uploaded
Command localmax inspect shows the manifest and each file. It needs no network. Command localmax submit shows the same list and asks you to confirm. Nothing goes to LocalMax 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
Run localmax prove RUN_ID. It makes a signature that proves control of the key. Send the run ID and the signature toprivacy@localmax.net. LocalMax removes the result and its evidence. LocalMax rewrites Git history only for exposed secrets or personal data.
