A privacy policy for both the Inkstone app and this website, written by someone who genuinely does not want your data.
Inkstone doesn’t track you. The website uses basic analytics so I can tell whether anyone is actually reading these pages. The app stores everything on your device and sends nothing back to me.
That’s it. The rest of this page is the longer version, because apparently a privacy policy needs to have paragraphs.
This site (inkstone.uk) is hosted on Vercel and uses Cloudflare for DNS. If you’re here, those services see your IP address and standard connection data. That’s how the internet works, not something I chose to make your life harder.
The site uses Google Analytics to track anonymous usage data: which pages get visited, how long someone stays, what country they’re browsing from. The kind of information that tells me whether the docs page is useful or whether everyone closes the tab after three seconds. I don’t know who you are from this data. I know someone in Germany looked at the download page. That’s the resolution I’m working with.
The site doesn’t ask you to create an account, log in, or fill out a form. I collect nothing personal here. If you want to tell me something, you do that on Discord, voluntarily, of your own accord.
Here’s where it gets simple.
Your chat logs, characters, lorebooks, settings, and everything else you build inside Inkstone live on your device. They don’t leave your device. I can’t see them. I can’t access them. I have no server waiting in the background to quietly collect your conversations.
Your API keys are stored locally and used only to connect to the provider you chose. The key goes from your device to their servers. It does not pass through mine, because I don’t have a relay server, because I don’t want one.
The app doesn’t phone home. I built no telemetry into it, no usage tracking, no anonymous event pings running quietly in the background. If it crashes, I find out because someone tells me on Discord, not because a dashboard lit up.
When you use Inkstone with an AI provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, Google, whoever you choose), your messages are sent to that provider’s servers according to their terms and their privacy policy. That relationship is between you and them. I don’t intermediate it, I don’t log it, and I have no visibility into it.
Read their privacy policies. Or don’t. But that’s their house, not mine.
The website may use cookies from Google Analytics. The app doesn’t use cookies at all. There isn’t much more to say about this, which is a rare and beautiful thing in a privacy policy.
Inkstone is not designed for children under 13 and I don’t knowingly collect data from minors. If you’re under 13, I admire your curiosity, but this isn’t the place.
If this policy changes, I’ll update this page. There won’t be an email notification because I don’t have your email. That’s sort of the whole point.
If you have questions about any of this, find me on Discord.
