Cerevisor has a layered memory system rooted at `~/.cerevisor/memory/`. **Nothing leaves your device**: every memory store is local-only, no telemetry, no opt-out required.

Read these in order if you want the full picture.

1. **[Memory overview](./overview.md)**: the four memory stores, how they interact, what's local.
2. **[Your user profile](./user-profile.md)**: what you tell Cerevisor about yourself; editable.
3. **[Harness memory & meta-cognition](./harness-memory-and-meta-cognition.md)**: what the harness learns from your runs.
4. **[Disagreements & proposals](./disagreements-and-proposals.md)**: when the harness wants to update your profile and you push back.
5. **[Data inventory & consent](./data-inventory-and-consent.md)**: exactly what Cerevisor knows about you, classified.
6. **[Exporting your data](./exporting-your-data.md)**: the local JSON export bundle (GDPR/CCPA right-to-portability locally).
