Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2026

Overview

Lore Haven ("we", "us", "our") is designed to keep your personal data private and under your control. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what rights you have.

The short version: We collect the minimum data needed to run the service. We never sell your data. We never use your content to train AI models. You can export or delete everything at any time.

What we collect

Account information

When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. We use this to authenticate you and communicate about the Service.

Your content

When you use the cloud sync features, we store your Lore document, vault file metadata, and version history on our servers. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Local data (desktop client)

The desktop client stores your vault files locally on your device. The MCP server runs entirely on your device. Local data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use cloud sync.

Usage data

We collect basic usage analytics: pages visited, features used, and error reports. This data is anonymized and used only to improve the Service. We do not track you across other websites.

Payment information

If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment data.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing
  • We do not use your Lore, vault files, or any content to train AI or machine learning models
  • We do not read your content except when required to provide technical support you request
  • We do not serve advertising or share data with ad networks
  • We do not track you across other websites

How we use your data

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • To authenticate your account and sync your data across devices
  • To send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset, billing receipts)
  • To respond to support requests
  • To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to operate:

  • Stripe — payment processing
  • AWS — cloud infrastructure and data storage
  • Cloudflare — website hosting and CDN

These services process data only as needed to provide their services to us and are bound by their own privacy policies.

Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Version history is retained indefinitely while your account exists. If you delete your account, all data is permanently deleted within 30 days. Backups containing your data are purged within 90 days.

Data portability and deletion

You can export all of your data at any time from the dashboard or desktop client. Exports include your Lore, vault files, and complete version history in standard formats (Markdown, JSON).

You can delete your account at any time. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone after the 30-day grace period.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only — session tokens required for authentication. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access all personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your data and account
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

California residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, and opt out of any sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To make a CCPA request, email [email protected].

European residents (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for processing your data is: contract performance (providing the Service), legitimate interest (improving the Service and preventing abuse), and consent (where applicable). You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children

The Service is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If we learn we have, we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
