Third-Party Services Disclosure
Last Updated: October 14, 2026
TatsuCode (available at https://tatsu.ai) integrates with various third-party services to provide its AI-powered coding assistance features. This document provides information about these third-party services, their terms, and your responsibilities when using them.
Overview
TatsuCode is designed to work with multiple AI providers and services. When you use these services through TatsuCode, your data is sent directly to the third-party provider — not to Studio Tatsu. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with each provider's terms and privacy policies.
AI Model Providers
OpenRouter
OpenRouter provides access to 200+ AI models from various providers through a unified API.
| Website | https://openrouter.ai |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | https://openrouter.ai/privacy |
| Terms of Service | https://openrouter.ai/terms |
| Data Handling | Refer to OpenRouter's policies for model-specific data handling |
Note: OpenRouter acts as a proxy to multiple AI providers. Data handling may vary depending on the specific model you use.
Anthropic (Claude)
Anthropic provides the Claude family of AI models and Claude Code, its command-line coding agent.
| Website | https://www.anthropic.com |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy |
| Consumer Terms | https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms |
| Commercial Terms | https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms |
| Usage Policy | https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup |
| Claude Code Legal and Compliance | https://code.claude.com/docs/en/legal-and-compliance |
Claude Code: TatsuCode can run Anthropic's Claude Code command-line tool, which you install and sign in to yourself with your own Claude subscription. TatsuCode never sees, stores, or transmits your Anthropic credentials; Claude Code communicates with Anthropic directly, and your use of it is governed by Anthropic's terms.
Access Note: Claude model access in TatsuCode depends on currently supported provider routes and may change over time based on provider policies.
OpenAI
OpenAI provides GPT models and related AI services.
| Website | https://openai.com |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | https://openai.com/privacy |
| Terms of Use | https://openai.com/terms |
| Usage Policies | https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies |
| API Data Usage Policies | https://openai.com/enterprise-privacy |
OAuth Integration: TatsuCode supports direct OAuth authentication with OpenAI for Plus/Pro subscribers.
Google (Gemini)
Google provides the Gemini family of AI models.
| Website | https://ai.google.dev |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Terms of Service | https://ai.google.dev/terms |
| Generative AI Terms | https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms |
TypeSafe AI
TypeSafe AI, Inc. provides the System One decision model (Jev), which TatsuCode uses for typed decisions (classification, routing, ranking, verification) when the typesafe-ai skill is loaded and you have configured access to it: your own TypeSafe API key, or your own OpenRouter key.
| Website | https://typesafe.ai |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | https://typesafe.ai/legal/privacy-policy |
| Terms of Use | https://typesafe.ai/legal/terms |
| Developer Console | https://console.typesafe.ai |
Data Handling: Requests are sent directly from your machine to TypeSafe's API using your own key. If you choose the OpenRouter route instead, requests go to OpenRouter with your OpenRouter key and are served by TypeSafe, so OpenRouter's policies apply as well. TypeSafe states that its services are hosted in the United States and that it does not train or fine-tune models on customer input. Review their policies for current terms.
Usage Note: TypeSafe's customer agreement permits integrating the service into applications and prohibits reselling access or publishing benchmarks. TatsuCode integrates the service; it does not resell, pool, proxy, or bill for it.
Local AI Providers
TatsuCode supports local AI model servers that run entirely on your own hardware:
Ollama
| Website | https://ollama.com |
|---|---|

Software on Your Computer
Microsoft Edge WebView2
TatsuCode displays its interface and its built-in DevBrowser with Microsoft Edge WebView2, a Microsoft component that comes with Windows 10 and 11. Websites you open in DevBrowser are loaded by WebView2 in a browser profile kept separate from your own browser. The WebView2 runtime is provided by Microsoft under its own terms.

Game Engines and 3D Applications
TatsuCode's plugins connect to applications you install yourself: Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Blender, and Autodesk Maya. To connect, TatsuCode installs a small bridge into your project or your user folder, and the bridge accepts connections only from your own computer. TatsuCode does not send your data to the makers of these applications. Your use of each application is governed by its own license and terms, and anything the application itself sends online is covered by its maker's policies.
Payment Processing
