Know where your data goes.

Textend works with documents and files on your computer. File opening and saving use access you grant. Local-first does not mean every feature is offline, or that AI requests never include document text.

When you use AI, requests go to the service you configure. Depending on the task, they may include instructions, selected text, relevant passages, document context, and discussion content. The scope must be disclosed in the product and authorized by you. Assess a provider before sending sensitive material.

AI providers govern their own data use, retention, processing locations, and deletion under their terms. Web search and source-reading features may also access external services.

The app uses operating-system secure storage to protect API keys. Runtime diagnostics and AI interaction records may contain request and response content. AI interaction records are stored locally by day: up to 10 per day in packaged builds, with entries older than 14 days pruned on writes; development builds allow 200 per day. Local discussion-event logs have a roughly 14-day retention period and size caps; startup diagnostics rotate by size. Review and redact any material before sending it to support. Never attach keys, private drafts, or unredacted logs to public reports.

This website preview has no collection forms, account system, or checkout. It is hosted with OpenAI Sites. Hosting services may process request information such as IP addresses under their policies. Future payments will introduce payment and licensing processing and require this notice to be updated before collection begins.
