Privacy Policy
Plain and simple. Flame is built local-first, so the most sensitive things never leave your machine.
The short version: your code, files, prompts, and keys stay on your device. We only hold what you give us (like your waitlist email) and you can have it deleted any time.
1. Information we collect
We aim to collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use Flame, that may include:
- The email address you give us to join the early-access waitlist or create an account.
- Anonymous, aggregate usage telemetry (which you can turn off) to understand reliability and performance.
- Anything you choose to send us (for example, a support or contact message).
2. What we never collect
Flame is a local-first desktop app. Your source code, files, terminal output, AI prompts, and API keys stay on your machine. They are not uploaded to us to run the workspace, and we have no access to them.
3. How we use information
We use the limited information above to send your early-access invite and release notes, respond to your messages, and improve Flame's reliability and performance. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data to train models.
4. Your code and AI providers
When you ask an AI agent to act, the relevant context is sent to the model provider you configure(for example Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini), subject to that provider's terms. If you use a local model via Ollama or LM Studio, that data never leaves your device. Flame is the conduit, not the provider.
5. Telemetry
Any product telemetry is anonymous and aggregate, meaning it never includes your code or file contents, and can be disabled in settings at any time.
6. Cookies
This marketing website uses only what's essential to function. We don't use invasive cross-site advertising trackers.
7. Sharing and processors
We share personal information only with the service providers needed to operate (for example, an email delivery service for waitlist invites), under appropriate data-protection terms. We don't sell your data to anyone.
8. Data retention
We keep your waitlist email until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Support messages are kept only as long as needed to help you.
9. Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing privacy@flame-ide.com. We'll respond promptly.
10. Children
Flame is not directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Flame evolves. We'll post the new version here and update the date above; significant changes will be communicated to waitlist members.
