Can my device resources be used for illegal activities on Bixberry?

Modified on Tue, 2 Jun at 9:15 AM

It’s a fair question to ask of any network that uses contributed resources — and one we take seriously. Here’s why your device can’t be used for anything other than legitimate AI acceleration.

No.  Bixberry’s network is restricted to accelerating legitimate AI assistant requests. Your device can’t be used for arbitrary, anonymous, or unrelated traffic.

Why this is the case

We partner only with verified, enterprise-level AI providers under strict contractual data-use agreements. Your network traffic is used solely for publicly accessible web content, and is never used for surveillance, competitive intelligence gathering, or any other unauthorized purpose.

Unlike networks that let users route open, unrestricted traffic through participating devices, Bixberry is built around a single, narrow purpose: smarter AI models. AI needs diverse global data to serve everyone well — not just one demographic — so your connection helps contribute data from your part of the world to make AI faster and smarter. Your device only ever relays this specific, controlled type of traffic.

◆  Example

Businesses worldwide rely on AI to analyze market trends that would otherwise take weeks to research manually — your network helps deliver those insights in minutes.

What your device is never used for

Accessing your files or browsing history
Storing personal data from other users on your device
Routing open, anonymous traffic the way a general-purpose proxy or VPN would
◆  Note

If you ever have a concern about how your device is being used, reach out to support. For the broader safety design, see Is Bixberry safe?
