Privacy Policy

What we collect

Nothing. There is no account to create and no sign in. We do not collect your name, email, or any other personal information, because there is no server of ours for it to go to.

Your responses

Everything you type into The Thought Layer is saved in your browser's local storage on your machine. Your responses are never sent to our servers. We do not store them, we do not have access to them, and we do not train on them. Your ideas are your own.

Keep your own copy. Because your work is stored locally, clearing browser data, using private mode, or switching devices can remove it. Export your work regularly to keep a copy.

AI provider connections

If you choose to connect an AI provider (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini), your API key is stored locally in your browser. When you request feedback, your responses are sent directly from your browser to your selected provider's API. We never see your API key or your prompts.

Each AI provider has their own data handling and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:

Anthropic (Claude) Privacy Policy
OpenAI (ChatGPT) Privacy Policy
Google (Gemini) Privacy Policy

No tracking, no analytics, no ads

This tool does not include analytics scripts, advertising pixels, or third-party trackers of any kind. We do not use cookies for tracking. The only data stored in your browser is your own responses and your provider settings.

No server-side data processing

The Thought Layer is a client-side application. It runs entirely in your browser. There is no server-side component that processes, stores, or transmits your data. The only network requests are to your AI provider's API, if you choose to connect one.

The contact form

If you use our contact page, the only data sent is what you type into it. Your message is relayed by Web3Forms, a third-party form service, straight to our email. We store nothing on this site, and Web3Forms does not store your submission.

Verify it yourself

This entire application runs as client-side code in your browser. You can right-click, view source, and inspect every line. There is no hidden server communication. We built it this way on purpose.
