AI That Never Leaves Your Building

miigEngine is a privacy-first AI inference engine that runs entirely on your own computer, with your own GPU. No cloud. No subscriptions to foreign servers. No data ever leaves the room. Your documents, your questions, your knowledge base is always fully under your control.

🚀 Our Mission 🚀

Give communities and organizations real AI capability without giving up control of their data

Most AI tools ask you to send your files, questions, and institutional knowledge to infrastructure you do not own and cannot inspect. That creates a sovereignty problem first and a privacy problem second: your work leaves your machine, enters someone else’s system, and becomes subject to their infrastructure, their policies, and sometimes even foreign legal reach. We built miigEngine so communities and organizations can use real AI capability on hardware they already control, without turning privacy into a recurring subscription.

  • Sovereignty matters (your data should stay on infrastructure you physically control, not on a provider's remote server)
  • Environmental concerns are valid (cloud AI runs through energy-intensive data centres, while miigEngine runs on a single local machine)
  • Communities need possession (real control means your knowledge stays with you, not with a vendor)

We exist because AI capability should not require renting out your privacy, your autonomy, or your data governance.

A Computer, Not a Data Centre

miigEngine runs open-weight AI models locally on a single machine with a GPU, instead of relying on any external cloud infrastructure. There is no server farm, no cooling towers, no water usage at industrial scale. Its footprint is that of a gaming PC, because that’s exactly the class of hardware it uses.

What We Believe

  • Sovereignty needs possession. If your AI runs on someone else's server, it is their infrastructure handling your data, not yours.
  • Trust requires verification — open-weight models, transparent system controls, and air-gapped operation when needed, not just a privacy policy.
  • Privacy is a right, not a feature: technology should reduce surveillance, not create new avenues for it.
  • OCAP principles (Ownership, Control, Access, Possession) guide how we build for Indigenous communities and for any organization seeking genuine data sovereignty.

No Vendor Lock-in, By Design

miigEngine runs on your hardware, under your roof. No license servers. No telemetry. No remote management plane. Once it is installed, it keeps working whether or not Miigwech AI Solutions is even still in business.

What happens if Miigwech shuts down? Nothing changes for you. There is no ongoing relationship with our infrastructure to break, no calls home, no subscription validation, no forced obsolescence. This is a one-time deployment, not an operational dependency.

AI inference that stays on your machine, in your building, under your control

The Sovereign Solution: miigEngine

miigEngine is software that runs open-weight AI language models directly on a computer you already own or control, using its GPU. There is no cloud dependency, no external API call, and no account that phones home. Once it's running, it works completely air-gapped if you want it to.

It answers questions, drafts documents, and searches your own files and knowledge base with an optional legal-research mode (A2AJ RAG) that retrieves and correctly cites real case law and statutes from a local database on your machine, not the internet.

*For clarity, some GIFs are shortened to omit processing time and show the results.
A2AJ Legal RAG

Specialized retrieval-augmented search over Canadian legal sources, with correctly linked citations.

Generate Documents

Generate documents at scale: miigEngine reads and fills complex forms against templates we configure for your organization, so the AI can crank through large batches of reports, letters, and forms grounded in A2AJ legal research instead of legalese.

Live Transparency Panel

Every action is logged and visible in real time — response sources, query anchors, and analytics, so trust doesn't rely on a promise.

Translate Legal Documets

Upload a legal document and miigEngine turns it into plain English, no law degree needed. Ask it about specific clauses, risks, or anything else in the document.

Model Immutability Dashboard

Verify the running model matches the original vendor baseline, and restore it on demand — the model can't quietly drift or be tampered with.

Accessibility & Local Control

WCAG-friendly display settings, adjustable fonts and themes, interaction and chat data controls — all handled locally.

Who Needs This

First Nations & Indigenous Organizations

Communities who want AI's benefits without giving up OCAP-aligned ownership, control, access, and possession of their own information.

Small Offices with Big Backlogs

Understaffed admin teams buried in grant reports, correspondence, and forms who need real help, not another subscription.

Legal & Compliance Teams

Anyone who needs correctly cited legal research without exposing case files to a foreign cloud provider.

Anyone Who Asked "Is It Actually Private?"

If your team has ever hesitated to paste sensitive information into ChatGPT, this was built for that exact hesitation.

The Difference

Cloud AI tools route your work through infrastructure you will never see and do not control. miigEngine takes the opposite approach: it runs on your machine, uses open-weight models, works entirely under your control, and never phones home. Privacy here is architectural, not contractual.

Transparency and trust in everything we do

Privacy Policy

miigEngine Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy.pdf

1. Core Privacy and Sovereignty Principles

We design miigEngine according to privacy-by-architecture and data sovereignty principles so that your data stays under your physical and legal control. Miigwech does not access, process, or store the prompts, outputs, documents, or user data that pass through your miigEngine deployment. miigEngine is engineered to avoid exposure to the U.S. CLOUD Act by operating without U.S. infrastructure, U.S. cloud services, or U.S. telemetry dependencies. It operates entirely offline by design; it does not connect to the internet, external APIs, or remote services of any kind. We treat laws like PIPEDA and GDPR-style regimes as a minimum floor, not a ceiling; our design choices aim to materially reduce external access risks rather than relying solely on policy promises.

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy covers:

  • The miigEngine software and its base system components.
  • Bundled local applications and interfaces delivered as part of miigEngine, when run on your own infrastructure under your control.
  • Our handling of limited transactional data required to sell and deliver the Product and meet legal obligations.

This Policy does not cover how you or your users configure, operate, or use miigEngine within your organization. You are the data controller for all prompts, outputs, documents, and user information processed on your own systems.

3. No Remote Access, No Telemetry, No Internet

No backdoors, no remote administration:

  • Miigwech cannot remotely connect to your miigEngine deployment.
  • We do not maintain admin credentials, remote tunnels, or hidden accounts.

No telemetry or monitoring:

  • miigEngine does not send Miigwech usage logs, user identifiers, prompts, model outputs, documents, or system metrics.
  • We do not collect crash reports, performance statistics, or configuration data from your deployment.

No internet connectivity:

  • miigEngine operates entirely offline. It does not connect to the internet, external search engines, live data APIs, or any remote service.
  • This means miigEngine cannot retrieve live information (such as news or weather) and is intentionally designed this way to ensure that no data ever leaves your environment.

No centralized user database:

  • We do not operate any central service that knows which users exist inside your miigEngine environment.
  • All identities and session management are local to your infrastructure and under your control.

Any prompts, outputs, or documents processed by miigEngine inside your network are your responsibility and remain entirely outside Miigwech's operational reach.

4. OCAP and Indigenous Data Sovereignty

Miigwech expressly aligns the design and intended use of miigEngine with the First Nations Principles of OCAP® (Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession) and broader Indigenous data sovereignty frameworks.

Ownership: Communities and organizations own their data in full. miigEngine is built so that your prompts, documents, and AI outputs do not become a resource for external parties, including Miigwech.

Control: You control what information is submitted to the AI, how outputs are used, and how the system is configured. All AI activity occurs entirely within your governance processes.

Access: Decisions about who may use miigEngine, under what conditions, and for what purposes are made by you, not Miigwech.

Possession: Physical custody of the hardware running miigEngine is a core protection mechanism. miigEngine is installed within your environment so that you maintain physical possession of the systems hosting your AI inference and any associated data.

Where there is any tension between OCAP-aligned sovereignty principles and convenience for Miigwech, the Product is intentionally designed to favour sovereignty, not convenience. OCAP® is a registered trademark of the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC). This Policy acknowledges OCAP® as a foundational framework for Indigenous data governance and sovereignty.

5. Relationship to PIPEDA and Other Laws

PIPEDA as a baseline: Miigwech complies with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in how we handle the limited personal information we collect for sales, invoicing, and legal compliance.

Beyond minimum compliance: Because miigEngine does not send operational data back to Miigwech, and because all AI inference occurs locally on your hardware, many traditional privacy risks associated with cloud-based AI services do not arise. Our aim is to meet or surpass both PIPEDA and GDPR-style expectations by design, not merely by policy.

International use: For customers outside Canada, this same architecture — no remote access, no telemetry, no internet connectivity, no U.S. infrastructure — is intended to support compliance with local privacy and data sovereignty laws by keeping all AI activity within your control and your jurisdiction.

6. Information We Collect from Customers

Miigwech only collects information necessary to: (a) sell and deliver miigEngine licenses, and (b) comply with applicable tax and business laws.

6.1 Transactional and Business Information

When you purchase miigEngine, we may collect:

  • Organization or individual name.
  • Billing and invoicing address.
  • Contact information (such as email and/or phone for billing and logistics).
  • Details of the product purchased (license type, price, invoice details).
  • Tax-relevant information required by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

We do not collect information about the prompts you submit, the outputs the model generates, the documents you process, or the identities and activities of your internal users.

6.2 Payment Processing and Third-Party Service Providers

If third-party payment processors or invoicing tools are used, your payment or billing details may be processed by those providers under their own terms and privacy notices. We do not store full payment card details on our own systems where this can be avoided.

Where we engage third-party service providers to assist with billing, accounting, or record-keeping, we require them by contract to:

  • Use customer information only for the specific services we request.
  • Apply appropriate safeguards designed to protect confidentiality and security.
  • Comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

We do not sell or rent customer information to third parties.

7. How We Use Customer Information

We use the limited customer information described above to:

  • Process and record sales, invoicing, and delivery of software licenses.
  • Meet accounting, audit, and tax obligations under applicable law.
  • Maintain basic records of business relationships (e.g., invoices issued).

We do not use this information for behavioural profiling, advertising, or analytics.

8. Data Retention for Customer Records

We retain transactional and invoicing records only as long as required by applicable tax, accounting, and corporate law, after which they are securely deleted or anonymized.

We do not retain, and have no ability to retain, any operational data from your miigEngine deployment, because such data never transits our infrastructure.

9. How miigEngine Handles User Data Locally

miigEngine processes prompts and returns outputs entirely within your local environment. By default:

  • Prompts and model outputs are handled transiently in memory and are not persisted to server-side storage.
  • User session preferences and conversation history, where applicable, are stored in short-lived, http-only browser cookies local to the user's session.
  • Users may download and retain their own conversation exports; these downloads are managed entirely by the user and do not transit Miigwech infrastructure.
  • Any security or audit logs generated by miigEngine (e.g., login events, session events) are stored locally on your deployment host and remain under your control.

You are responsible for configuring data handling, retention, and deletion within your miigEngine deployment in accordance with your own legal, regulatory, and community requirements.

10. Your Role as Data Controller

For all prompts, outputs, documents, and operational data processed on miigEngine, you (or your organization or community) act as the data controller:

  • You determine what information is submitted to the AI and how outputs are used.
  • You configure authentication, access controls, and session management.
  • You decide how to meet your own obligations under PIPEDA, OCAP, and any other applicable frameworks with respect to individuals whose information you manage.

Miigwech acts only as a software vendor, not as a data processor or service provider for your operational AI data.

11. Security Design and Customer Responsibilities

Our responsibilities:

  • Design and ship miigEngine without backdoors, remote access channels, or internet connectivity.
  • Avoid reliance on U.S. cloud, telemetry, or internet infrastructure in the default design.
  • Provide security-focused product documentation where needed.

Your responsibilities:

  • Secure physical and network access to the host running miigEngine.
  • Configure application-level security according to your risk model and legal obligations.
  • Maintain backups, incident response plans, and any required policies for your users.

Because we do not control or operate your environment, we cannot be responsible for your internal configuration, network security, or user practices.

12. No Technical Support Obligation

Miigwech does not provide general technical support, managed services, or ongoing administration for your miigEngine deployment. Any voluntary assistance we may choose to provide (for example, documentation or one-time guidance) does not create an ongoing duty to support or monitor your systems. We do not operate support channels that involve connecting into your environment or collecting diagnostic data from your deployment.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

"AS IS" provision: miigEngine is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Limitation of liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Miigwech's total liability for any claim related to miigEngine will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific license giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months preceding the event. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

AI output disclaimer: miigEngine generates outputs using open-weight AI models. Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for specific purposes. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and acting on any output produced by miigEngine. Miigwech makes no representation that outputs are legally accurate, professionally compliant, or fit for any particular use.

Force majeure: We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, war, government actions, or network failures.

14. User Rights and Complaints (PIPEDA Context)

For the limited personal information we hold about you as a customer (e.g., invoicing data), you may have rights under PIPEDA and similar laws, including the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you in our business records.
  • Request corrections to inaccurate information.
  • Challenge our compliance with applicable privacy principles.

Privacy-related complaints should be directed to our designated Privacy Officer. Unresolved complaints may be escalated to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant authority in your jurisdiction. Nothing in this Policy limits your right to make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or to any other applicable supervisory authority.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising from or relating to this Policy or your purchase of miigEngine shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Ottawa, Ontario, in accordance with applicable Canadian arbitration rules, except where prohibited by law. Nothing in this section limits your right to raise concerns or complaints with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or any other relevant privacy regulator.

16. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our business practices relating to customer records. Material changes affecting how we handle customer information will be communicated using the contact details associated with your purchase, where feasible, before they take effect. Because miigEngine does not transmit operational data to us, changes to this Policy do not change your local AI governance; they only affect how we handle the minimal customer information we hold.

Data Deletion Policy

Data Deletion Policy

Data Deletion Policy.pdf

1. Overview

At Miigwech AI Solutions, we respect your right to control your information. miigEngine is designed for sovereign, on-premises deployment on your infrastructure, giving you complete control over all AI inference activity, session data, and any associated logs. This policy explains:

  • What data miigEngine typically stores locally.
  • Where deletion and retention are controlled by you vs. Miigwech.
  • Recommended patterns for secure deletion and retention.

miigEngine does not transmit operational data to Miigwech. In virtually all cases, you are the sole party with the ability to access, retain, or delete data generated by your miigEngine deployment.

2. Data Categories in miigEngine

In a standard deployment, miigEngine may handle:

  • Identity and access data — User accounts, roles, password hashes, session tokens, API keys.
  • Inference session data — Prompts submitted by users, model outputs, conversation history (where session persistence is enabled).
  • Uploaded documents — Files submitted to the AI for processing or retrieval-augmented inference.
  • Operational logs — HTTP/audit logs for the admin UI and APIs, system events, login events.
  • Ephemeral data — Short-lived session cookies, cache, and transient inference state.

Exact data categories depend on how you configure and use your miigEngine instance.

3. Who Controls Deletion

Because miigEngine is deployed on your infrastructure:

  • You control the storage systems (disks, databases, session stores, backups) where miigEngine data resides.
  • You control when data is deleted, anonymized, or retained under your own policies.
  • Miigwech does not reach into your environment to delete or retain any data unless explicitly agreed in a managed-service contract.

If Miigwech also operates a hosted miigEngine instance on your behalf, that hosted environment will have a separate, written data retention/deletion schedule as part of your service agreement.

4. Deletion Mechanisms (Typical Patterns)
4.1 User Accounts and Access

Administrators can disable or remove accounts using the miigEngine admin interface or API. Typical effects:

  • Disable user — prevents login; account record and historical logs remain.
  • Delete user (where implemented) — removes the user record; logs may retain a non-identifying reference (e.g., a numeric ID) for audit integrity.

We recommend:

  • Deactivate users for most HR/lifecycle events.
  • Use anonymization or log rotation (see 4.3) if you need to remove identifying information from historical logs.
4.2 Inference Session Data and Uploaded Documents

Deletion of session history and uploaded documents is fully under your control:

  • Use your database tools, admin interface, or application logic to delete session records, conversation histories, and uploaded files.
  • miigEngine does not silently mirror or back up your inference data to Miigwech-controlled infrastructure.
  • If you implement operational scripts or CLI tools for bulk deletion, document them in your internal runbooks rather than relying on them as hardwired guarantees from Miigwech.
4.3 Audit Logs and System Logs

By default, miigEngine can record audit logs (e.g., timestamp, method, path, status, remote IP, user ID) for security and compliance purposes. Recommended pattern:

  • Short-term detailed logs (e.g., 30–90 days) for active investigations and incident response.
  • Optional longer-term, reduced logs (e.g., summarized or anonymized) if you need historical metrics without personal identifiers.

Implement log rotation and deletion via:

  • Database retention jobs (e.g., scheduled DELETE FROM audit_logs WHERE timestamp < ...).
  • Filesystem rotation for any text-based logs (e.g., logrotate).

miigEngine does not force a retention schedule; you define this based on your legal and policy obligations.

5. Ephemeral Session and Inference Data

By default, miigEngine handles inference transiently:

  • In-flight prompts and outputs are processed in memory and not persisted to long-term storage unless your configuration explicitly enables session history.
  • Session cookies are short-lived, http-only, and local to the user's browser session. They are not stored server-side beyond the active session.
  • Conversation exports downloaded by users are delivered directly to the user's device and are not retained by miigEngine after delivery.

These behaviors are part of miigEngine's privacy-by-default design and are intended to minimize persistence of sensitive inference content.

6. Backups, Snapshots, and Emergency Deletion

Because miigEngine runs inside your environment:

  • Backups and snapshots (e.g., database dumps, volume snapshots) are created, stored, and deleted according to your own policies.
  • If you restore from an older backup, previously deleted session data or documents may reappear until deleted again.

For emergency deletion (e.g., credential compromise, incident response), your administrators can:

  • Revoke user credentials and session tokens.
  • Delete specific session histories, conversation records, or uploaded document stores.
  • Purge or rotate logs.
  • Destroy or overwrite storage volumes.

Miigwech can provide guidance or scripts as part of support, but actual deletion is performed by your team unless a managed-service contract states otherwise.

7. Irreversibility and Recovery

miigEngine is intentionally designed so that:

  • Miigwech does not maintain shadow copies of your inference data, prompts, outputs, or documents outside of your control.
  • If your team deletes data from your environment (and from any backups and snapshots you control), Miigwech cannot restore it for you.
  • You are responsible for implementing and testing a backup and recovery strategy consistent with your own retention obligations and risk tolerance.
8. Alignment with Sovereignty and Privacy Frameworks

This approach to data retention and deletion is intended to support:

  • OCAP® principles (Ownership, Control, Access, Possession) for First Nations data governance.
  • PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy laws regarding limiting collection, retention, and use.
  • Data sovereignty expectations where communities and public bodies require that AI inference data remain in their legal and physical control.
  • The spirit of the "right to erasure" under GDPR-like frameworks, to the extent you implement deletion and anonymization workflows in your environment.
9. How to Exercise Deletion or Retention Choices

Because miigEngine is deployed in your environment:

  • End-users should send access or erasure requests to your organization, not to Miigwech.
  • Your administrators can then:
    • Disable or delete accounts in miigEngine.
    • Delete or anonymize conversation histories, session records, and uploaded documents.
    • Apply log retention and deletion policies per your governance framework.

If you operate a Miigwech-hosted instance, details of how we execute deletion on your behalf (and timelines) will be documented in your service agreement and/or Data Processing Addendum.

12.2 Pilot Software "As Is" Disclaimer

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR EVALUATION PURPOSES ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. MIIGWECH MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE'S PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY FOR PRODUCTION USE, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Because this is a pilot, the Software may contain bugs, incomplete features, or limitations not present in a final commercial release. The Customer acknowledges and accepts these risks as part of the evaluation process.

12.3 AI Output Disclaimer

miigEngine generates outputs using AI models. Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for specific purposes. The Customer is solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and acting on any AI-generated output. Miigwech makes no representation that outputs are legally accurate, professionally compliant, or fit for any particular use.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • Miigwech's total liability for any claim arising under or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the amount paid by the Customer for the pilot license.
  • Miigwech shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of revenue, or loss of business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Because this is a pilot for evaluation purposes, the Customer agrees to implement appropriate safeguards (backups, non-production data, isolated environments) to minimize risk.

14. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public technical or business information disclosed during the pilot. This obligation survives termination of the Agreement for a period of three (3) years.

Confidential information does not include information that:

  • Was publicly available prior to disclosure.
  • Becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement.
  • Was independently developed without use of the disclosing party's information.
15. Data and Privacy

The Customer is the data controller for all prompts, outputs, documents, and operational data processed on miigEngine during the pilot. Miigwech does not access, collect, or retain any such data.
