Privacy policy

What we store

• Your email address, for sign-in links and product mail.
• Your handle, and the community you told us you found us in, if any.
• Private solo quest offers and your explicit choices (accept, smaller, different, or not now). We keep the offered task separately from an assignment; these records are erased when you delete your account.
• The curiosities you write — the free text describing what you're currently deep into — and any evidence (text, links, quotes, screenshots) you submit for a quest.
• The rooms you join, and the short blurb you write for each one.
• Preferences and corrections you explicitly ask your AI client to remember. These stay private to your account; you can ask it to replace or forget them.
• A record of what we put in front of you and what you did with it — which rooms and quests you were offered, which you joined and which you passed over, and when. These are counts, yes/no flags and timestamps only: never the words you wrote. We keep them so we can tell which quests actually land, which is something we cannot learn from the ones people take alone.
• The same kind of record for a quest once you have joined it: when you actually started working it (not just when it was assigned), roughly which step you have reached, when you submitted, and when you explicitly closed an unfinished attempt. Again counts, status labels and a step number only — never anything you wrote. We keep this so we can eventually tell where a quest tends to lose people, not to watch any one person's pace.

Who can see it

Your curiosities are private by default. Nothing about what you're exploring is shown to anyone else on its own.

Joining a room is the first thing that changes that: it makes your handle and the blurb you wrote for that room visible to the other people in it, and nothing else about you — not your curiosities, not your quests, not your evidence.

Quest evidence is a separate, per-submission choice, and private is still the default there too. Mark a piece of evidence shared and the other people running that same quest can read it. Mark it public and any signed-in person can.

How your curiosity gets turned into a quest

The AI client you connect in Settings does the work, not us. It reads your curiosity and interest data through that connection, names the topic, and drafts the quest in your own voice. Both take effect the moment it writes them — nobody reviews either one first. The same is true of a quest written for a room: the room can see it straight away. What we do have is a review queue that runs afterwards, which we use to pull room content down; an item nobody has looked at yet is fully visible in the meantime.

Email

Sign-in links always go out to your email — there is no other way to sign in. Beyond those, we send one note about connecting your AI client: in your invite if you had one, or once, right after you sign up, if you didn't. We don't send any other product email right now. If that changes, the setting in Settings already turns it off, without affecting sign-in.

Usage analytics

We use PostHog, a product analytics service, to see how Famlore actually gets used. It receives:

• From your browser: the pages you view, what you click, and any errors the page runs into, along with the kind of device and browser you use and a rough location PostHog works out from your connection.
• From your AI connection: which Famlore tool your AI client called, how long it took, whether it failed, and which AI app is connected, plus a fixed label for what that tool is for — nothing you or your AI wrote in the call itself. Between 24 September and 1 October 2026 each call also carried a one-sentence note the AI wrote about why it made the call; we stopped collecting it, and the notes already sent stay in PostHog like the rest of these analytics.
• Milestones: signing in, connecting an AI app, joining or leaving a room (with the room's name), creating a quest, and submitting evidence — its kind and who can see it, never its contents.

These events are tied to your account's internal ID and your handle, not your email. Before you have an account — when you join the waitlist, say — we send a one-way scrambled form of your email, never the address itself.

Deleting your account

Deletion is immediate and irreversible — there is no recovery window. Go to Settings and type your handle to confirm. Deletion is deliberately not total erasure, and we'd rather tell you exactly what that means than promise something the system doesn't do:

Erased completely:

• Your curiosities — the free text you wrote.
• Your saved preferences and corrections.
• Your private quest evidence, and your memory pages (the “what we remember about you” list in Settings).
• Your room memberships and the blurbs you wrote for them — you disappear from every room's directory immediately.
• Your email address — removed from your account, from any invite that named it, and from the waitlist, if you ever joined it.
• Your handle — replaced with an anonymous placeholder here (see below for analytics).

Kept, with your identity removed:

• The bare fact that you attempted a given quest, roughly how far you got, and whether you submitted it. If that quest was generated from your own curiosity, its title and steps are erased too, replaced with a placeholder — it was yours alone, so it goes the same way your curiosities do. If it was a room quest, its text stays, since other members are actively running it. Either way, what's kept is a participation record with no email and no name attached — it points at an account that has already been stripped of everything that identified you.
• Evidence you marked shared or public. The record itself stays — someone else running that same quest may have built on it — but the words are gone: your submission is replaced with a withdrawal placeholder, not your original text.
• The offered-and-joined records described above. They go on pointing at the same stripped account, exactly as your quest attempts do. There is nothing in them to redact: they never held your writing in the first place.

Not reached by deletion today:

• The usage analytics described above. Deleting your account does not currently remove them from PostHog, where they stay under your account's internal ID and the handle you had at the time. They never held your curiosities or evidence.

Why: evidence you marked shared or public is a record other people running the same quest may be relying on. Deleting your account can't reach into their side of that quest and erase what they've built on top of it, so we replace your words with a placeholder instead of pulling the row out from under them. What we fully control — your writing, your private evidence, your identity — is gone. What was shared with someone else stays, with your name taken off it.
