Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 21, 2026
Short version. Memrith collects nothing. Not your writing, not usage statistics, not crash reports, not an email address. There is no server to send anything to. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

1. What is collected

Nothing. This is the entire policy, and the rest of this page only explains why that is true rather than a claim I am asking you to take on trust.

2. Why there is nothing to collect

Memrith is a desktop application that runs entirely on your own computer. Your entries, uploads, memories and settings are written to a folder on that machine and never leave it. There is no Memrith account, no sign-in, no sync, and no Memrith server that holds user data — none has ever existed.

Earlier versions contacted two services: a licence checker, and an opt-in crash reporter (Sentry). Memrith is free now, so the licence check is gone, and crash reporting has been removed entirely rather than left switched off. Any data previously held by the crash reporter has been deleted.

3. The one thing that does leave your machine

When you ask Memrith to do something with AI, it sends your prompt and the relevant parts of your data to the AI provider you chose and configured with your own API key — for example Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter. That happens because you asked for it, it goes directly from your computer to them, and it does not pass through anything of mine.

What that provider does with it is governed by their privacy policy, not this one. If you would rather nothing left your machine at all, configure a local model instead (Ollama, llama.cpp or LM Studio) and Memrith will make no outbound calls for AI at all.

Memrith also checks GitHub for a new release. That request reveals your IP address to GitHub, as loading any web page would. You can ignore or disable update checks.

4. Your API keys

Keys you enter are stored in your operating system's own credential store — Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, libsecret or KWallet on Linux. They are not written to Memrith's configuration files, not logged, and not transmitted anywhere except to the provider they belong to.

5. This website

memrith.com serves static pages. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, embeds no trackers, and has no contact form. The host serves the files and, like any web server, sees the IP addresses making requests.

6. Your rights

Data-protection law gives you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data that an organisation holds about you. I hold none, so there is nothing for you to exercise those rights against — and no request I could meaningfully answer.

Your data is in a folder on your computer. Open it, copy it, or delete it whenever you want. That is the most complete form of these rights available, and it does not require my involvement.

7. Children

Memrith is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children.

8. Changes

If this ever changes — which would require Memrith to start collecting something, and it will not — the date at the top of this page changes with it.

9. Contact

There is no privacy mailbox to write to, because there is no data to ask about. If you believe something here is inaccurate, open an issue at github.com/cadendbartley/BrainBox.
