Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really GDPR and HIPAA compliant?

Yes. SafeRag processes everything locally on your Mac. There are no cloud connections, no data processors, and no third-party risk. The app includes complete audit logging, data export, right to deletion, encryption status reporting, and zero third-party data processors. No BAA required — your data never leaves your Mac.

Do I need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

No. Since SafeRag processes everything locally and never transmits data to third parties, there is no "business associate" relationship. This eliminates BAA complexity entirely.

How do I prove compliance to auditors?

SafeRag includes built-in audit logging that tracks all user activity, document access, and data operations. Export comprehensive audit reports at any time. The compliance dashboard provides real-time encryption status and data residency verification.

Can SafeRag run in an air-gapped environment?

Yes. After initial model download, SafeRag operates fully offline. No internet connection required for AI processing, document analysis, or any core functionality.

How is SafeRag different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Cloud AI services like ChatGPT and Claude process your data on remote servers, creating compliance risk for regulated industries. SafeRag runs entirely on your Mac using local AI models. No data leaves your device, no third-party processing, no compliance risk.

How does RAG document intelligence work?

Upload documents and SafeRag creates local vector embeddings. When you ask questions, the app finds relevant document sections and includes them as context for AI responses.

What AI models can I use?

SafeRag supports all Ollama models including Llama 3.2, Mistral, Gemma, and many more. You can download and switch between models instantly within the app.

Do I need Ollama installed?

SafeRag includes one-click Ollama installation and model management. The app guides you through downloading your first AI model. Everything is automated.

Can multiple people use SafeRag on the same Mac?

Yes! Multi-User mode with role-based access control supports admin, user, and viewer roles. Each user gets their own private chat history and documents with isolated data. Perfect for shared workstations in clinics, law firms, or enterprise environments.

What are the system requirements?

SafeRag requires macOS 14.0 or later and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3/M4) with at least 8GB RAM. Intel Macs are not supported.

Is there a mobile version?

Currently SafeRag is macOS-only. An iOS companion app for viewing chat history is on our roadmap.
