Privacy Policy
ThreadRecall is built around a simple idea: your AI conversations should stay yours. This policy explains what the website, waitlist, feedback forms, and local-first app collect.
Effective May 25, 2026The homepage section called “Privacy” explains the product philosophy. This page is the formal privacy policy.
Local-first by construction.
ThreadRecall Labs (“ThreadRecall,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates threadrecall.ai and the ThreadRecall Mac app.
The core ThreadRecall app stores captured AI conversations locally on your Mac. During normal product use, we do not upload the content of your AI conversations to ThreadRecall servers.
What we collect.
Website and waitlist
When you join the waitlist, we collect your email address and the form choices you submit, such as the AI tools you use, how you plan to use ThreadRecall, beta opt-in status, and any “other tools” text you choose to provide.
Feedback forms
If you submit beta feedback, we collect the information in that form, including your email address, rating, selected apps, usage frequency, requested tools or platforms, and written feedback.
Messages you send us
If you email us or contact us directly, we collect the contents of your message and the contact information needed to reply.
Technical information
Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, request URL, timestamps, and security logs to operate, secure, and deliver the site.
App data on your Mac
ThreadRecall captures and indexes supported AI conversations locally on your Mac so you can search and export them. You control that local archive. If you configure Obsidian sync, ThreadRecall writes local Markdown files into the vault you choose.
How we use information.
We use the information we collect to:
- manage the waitlist and send early-access updates;
- understand which tools and workflows beta users care about;
- respond to support, privacy, and feedback messages;
- improve the product using voluntary feedback;
- operate, debug, secure, and protect the website and services;
- comply with legal obligations when required.
We do not use the content of your local AI conversation archive for model training, advertising, or third-party data products.
Cookies and similar technologies.
As of the effective date above, the public marketing pages do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, advertising cookies, or retargeting pixels.
Cloudflare and your browser may use strictly necessary technologies to deliver, secure, cache, and protect the site. Password-protected internal roadmap pages may use local storage for internal task-board state; those pages are not part of the public marketing experience.
If we later add non-essential analytics or marketing trackers, we will update this policy and add consent controls where required.
Retention and your choices.
We keep waitlist and feedback information for as long as it is useful for early access, product development, support, and ordinary business records, unless you ask us to delete it or we need to keep it for legal reasons.
You can ask us to delete your waitlist or feedback information by emailing [email protected].
Your local ThreadRecall archive remains on your Mac. You can pause capture, remove local files, disconnect Obsidian sync, or uninstall the app using the controls and instructions provided in the app and guide.
Security, children, and changes.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process. No internet service can be guaranteed perfectly secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal information through waitlist or feedback forms.
ThreadRecall is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this policy as ThreadRecall changes. If the changes are material, we will update the effective date and provide additional notice when appropriate.
