 #### How is my data processed?
-The tool is privacy-friendly because the data is processed entirely within the browser. The data does not leave your computer or the environment of your organization. The tool utilizes the computing power of your own computer to analyze the data. This type of browser-based software is referred to as *local-first*. Therefore, the tool does not upload the data to third parties, such as cloud providers. Instructions on how to host the tool locally within your own organization, including the source code, can be found on <a href="https://github.com/NGO-Algorithm-Audit/local-first-web-tool" target="_blank">Github</a>.

+#### What is local-first computing?
+Local-first computing is the opposite of cloud computing: the data is not uploaded to third-parties, such as a cloud providers, and is processed by your own computer. The data attached to the tool therefore doesn't leave your computer or the environment of your organization. The tool is privacy-friendly because the data can be processed within the mandate of your organisation and doesn't need to be shared with new parties. The unsupervised bias detection tool can also be hosted locally within your organization. Instructions, including the source code or the web app, can be found on <a href="https://github.com/NGO-Algorithm-Audit/local-first-web-tool" target="_blank">Github</a>.
