Privacy
OpenCause Compute is a private-alpha volunteer-compute system for AI-assisted open science. Workers process coordinator-assigned open-access/public literature packets, not private medical records.
What the worker sends back
Workers submit citation-backed candidate facts, summaries, validation warnings, node identifiers, worker version, platform/capability metadata, and model/extractor provenance needed for auditability.
Local files
The worker is intended to use its app data directory for credentials and logs. It should not read personal files or documents outside its own configured app data directory.
Telemetry
The coordinator records operational events needed to run the private alpha: registration, heartbeat, claim, submit, validation, and admin activity. Do not install the worker unless you are comfortable contributing compute resources.
