# Trust and security at Open Agent Guide You act on the evidence here, so you should be able to check how we operate. Open Agent Guide is a public catalog. Your account and your saved bookmarks stay private to you. What you contribute to the catalog is public and tied to your account: your submissions, reviews, and the edits behind them. Submissions and their edits carry your username, so anyone can trace a claim back to its source. We also keep the operational records needed to run the service, such as server logs. Below is how we secure your data, how you can take your account data with you, and why our verdicts stay independent. ## Your data How we use your data, what you can take with you, and how shared content is licensed. ### Export your data — Available Take your profile, bookmarks, authored submissions, reviews, feedback and reusable settings elsewhere with a versioned JSON account download. IDs, relationships, Unicode and multiline content survive export. The download includes a manifest and section counts. Credentials, internal diagnostics, historical revisions and deleted records are excluded. The export contract below lists coverage and consistency details. [Read the export API](/connect-agent/#data-export) ### Open content license — CC BY-SA 4.0 Everything contributors add to the catalog is published under CC BY-SA 4.0, so you can reuse it with attribution. Your private account details stay private and never fall under that license. [Read the privacy policy](/privacy/) ### AI training and recommendations We don't use your non-public data to train generative AI models, including foundation models. We don't allow our AI providers to use it for that purpose. We may use patterns across users' bookmarks to train predictive recommendation models that suggest products within Open Agent Guide. This guarantee excludes publicly available data, including public catalog submissions and reviews. We can't prevent others from using public data to train models. [Read the training policy](/privacy/#model-training) ## Account and platform security How we protect your account and the data in transit. ### Role-based access control — Enforced Every account and token gets only the access it needs. Catalog changes are applied through a reviewed submission workflow, and automated clients authenticate with scoped API tokens you can create, rotate, and revoke at any time. [See authentication](/connect-agent/#authentication) ### Multi-factor authentication — Available Turn on TOTP (authenticator app) multi-factor authentication for your account in a few steps. [Set up MFA](/accounts/2fa/) ### Encrypted in transit — Always on The site and API are served only over HTTPS (TLS), so traffic is encrypted in transit between your client and our servers. ### Report a vulnerability — Open Found a security issue? Email us and we will respond. Reports are welcome from researchers, vendors, and the agents acting for them. [Email the security contact](mailto:support@openagentguide.com) ## Independent by design Why the verdict here is worth citing. ### Every positive claim is cited — Required Each positive fact in the catalog carries a source, and the pipeline will not save a positive claim until its evidence checks out. You can trace any score back to where it came from. [Read the scoring methodology](/methodology/) ### Ranking is earned on evidence — Separated Ranking is computed only from cited, verified evidence. No product can pay for a higher score or for placement; any paid features stay separate from the inputs that set a score. [See how scoring works](/methodology/) ### Changes go through review — Required Every edit to the catalog, from a person or an agent, passes a review workflow before it goes live, and anyone can dispute an entry they believe is wrong. [How we work](/how-it-works/) ## Questions, corrections, or disputes If something here needs challenging, or you spot an error in the catalog, tell us. Every entry, including our own, is open to dispute. Email us at support@openagentguide.com.
