Privacy Policy

NerfedLab is a local first desktop studio. This policy explains what we collect and, just as importantly, what we do not. The short version: your work stays on your machine, and we collect the minimum needed to run accounts, anonymous crash reports (on by default, easy to turn off) and, only if you opt in, anonymous product analytics.

What we collect

• Account information. When you sign in with Google: your name, email address, Google account identifier and avatar. Used for identity, licensing and access.
• Product analytics (optional, off by default). If you turn it on, anonymous usage events (for example, app launched or project created), your app version and operating system. Metadata only, never the content of your work. Processed by PostHog.
• Crash reports (on by default, opt out). When the app crashes or fails to shut down cleanly: error diagnostics and crash dumps with home directory paths and usernames scrubbed, plus the app version and operating system. Never the content of your work. Processed by Sentry. You can turn this off at any time on the app’s welcome or sign in screen.

What we do not collect

The content of your projects, your designs, source code, prompts, chat messages and files, stays on your device and never touches our servers. Your AI prompts and their outputs travel directly from your machine to Anthropic through your own Claude subscription. We are not in that path; Anthropic’s privacy terms govern it. Your GitHub token stays in your operating system’s keychain and never reaches us.

Service providers

We share data only with the providers that make the product work, and we never sell it:

• Google, for sign in.
• Anthropic, whose Claude subscription of yours powers every AI turn (their terms apply).
• PostHog, only if you opt into product analytics.
• Sentry, for crash reports, unless you opt out.
• GitHub, which hosts the downloads and, only if you connect it, your own repositories.
• Vercel, which hosts this website.

Your choices and rights

• Product analytics is opt in; crash reporting is on by default. Both can be toggled at any time inside the app.
• You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data (including GDPR and CCPA requests) by emailing privacy@nerfedlab.com.
• This website sets no advertising cookies. The app keeps a single session token for sign in.

Changes and contact

We will update this page and the date above when things change. Questions about privacy? Email privacy@nerfedlab.com.
