-## Architecture
+We recommend always running the latest version of PinchChat.
 
-PinchChat is a **static frontend** — it runs entirely in the browser. There is no server-side component.
+## Security Model
 
-- Gateway credentials are entered at runtime and stored in `localStorage`
-- No secrets are baked into the build
-- All communication happens over WebSocket to your own OpenClaw gateway
+PinchChat is a **static frontend** that connects to your OpenClaw gateway via WebSocket. Key security properties:
+
+- **No server-side code** — PinchChat is a pure client-side SPA served as static files
+- **Runtime authentication** — gateway URL and token are entered at login and stored in `localStorage`, never baked into the build
+- **No secrets in the image** — the Docker image contains only static assets; credentials are provided at runtime
+- **No telemetry** — PinchChat does not phone home, collect analytics, or send data to third parties
+
+### Token Handling
+
+- The gateway token is stored in the browser's `localStorage`
+- It is transmitted only over the WebSocket connection to your gateway
+- Logging out clears the token from storage
+- **If you serve PinchChat over the network, use HTTPS** to protect the token in transit
+
+### Recommendations
+
+- Always use `wss://` (WebSocket over TLS) in production
+- Restrict gateway access to trusted networks or use a reverse proxy with authentication
+- Rotate your OpenClaw gateway token periodically
+- Do not share your browser's `localStorage` data
