Privacy policy

Draft. Not yet in effect. This page names Lanternwright LLC (formation pending) as its operator. That company has not been formed yet, and the page has not been reviewed. It will be updated and confirmed before anything is sold.

Operator: Lanternwright LLC (formation pending). Last updated September 13, 2026.

Lanternwright makes software that keeps your data on your own device. This policy covers this website and, in one section per product, what each Lanternwright product handles.

The short version

  • This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics or tracking, and loads nothing from other companies' servers.
  • Lanternwright products are built to keep your data on your own device. Each product's section below lists what it keeps and every time it can use the network.
  • Personal data is never sold, rented or used for advertising.

Who this policy is from

This policy is published by Lanternwright LLC (formation pending), which runs lanternwright.com and makes the products listed on it. You can reach it at support@lanternwright.com.

What this website collects

  • Nothing, when you just browse. No cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting and no third-party scripts, fonts or images.
  • Standard request data that every web host receives (your IP address, browser type and the page requested). Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc.) handles it to serve and protect the site.
  • Your light or dark theme choice, only if you use the theme switch. It is saved in your own browser's storage, never sent anywhere, and you can clear it with your browser's site data.
  • If you join a waitlist, you send an email from your own email app. Your address and message arrive in the studio's inbox like any other email.
  • Anything you choose to send by email to support@lanternwright.com.

Services that handle data

These services process data for the website. Each one has its own privacy policy.

Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc.)
Hosts and serves this website. Like any web host, it receives your IP address and browser details with each request. Its privacy policy.
Cloudflare Email Routing (Cloudflare, Inc.)
Receives email sent to support@lanternwright.com and delivers it to the studio's inbox.

How it is used

  • Waitlist addresses: to send you one email when the product you chose launches. Nothing else is sent to them.
  • Email you send: to read and answer it.
  • Request data: so the host can deliver pages and keep the site secure.

How long it is kept

  • Waitlist emails: until the launch email for that product is sent, then deleted, or sooner if you ask.
  • Email you send: as long as needed to answer it, and deleted on request.
  • Request data: kept by Cloudflare Pages (Cloudflare, Inc.) under its own policy. This site keeps no logs of its own.

Purchases

Nothing is sold yet. Before anything is, this policy will name the payment provider. It will take payment and handle card details; Lanternwright will receive only your email address and what you bought, to deliver your license and give support.

What is never done

  • Selling or renting personal data.
  • Advertising or ad tracking.
  • Sharing data with data brokers.
  • Sending email you did not ask for.

Products

Every product below is in development and not yet available, so none of them has collected anything yet. Each section describes the product as it is built today and will be checked again before that product launches.

Netkeep

Your sales, costs, receipts and trips stay in your browser's storage on your device. There is no account, no server, no analytics and no third-party script.

About Netkeep

What it keeps on your device

  • Sales, order lines, fees, refunds, shipping labels and marketplace-collected sales tax from the reports you import (only the columns Netkeep needs)
  • Purchases, lots and items, with costs, sources, dates and statuses
  • Receipt photos, re-encoded on save with location and camera data removed
  • Expenses and trips (dates, purposes, places and miles)
  • Your own fee and mileage rates, saved column layouts, import history and settings
  • Your license, if you add one. It holds a one-way fingerprint of the email it was issued to, never the email itself.

What it never keeps

  • Buyer names, usernames, emails, phone numbers and addresses found in marketplace reports. They are dropped before anything is saved.

When it uses the network

These are the only times Netkeep uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Update check
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: A plain request for one small file, about once a week or when you press Check now, with no cookies, no identifiers and none of your records. Like any web request, the host can see your IP address.
Sent to: The Lanternwright update host.

What reaches Lanternwright

Nothing. Netkeep sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Netkeep has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

Everything stays on your device until you delete it. Delete everything removes it all. Backups and exports are files you save and control.

About Caption Glass

What it keeps on your device

  • Your settings and your license
  • Caption history, only if you turn it on. It stays on your PC and expires automatically after the time you choose.

What it never keeps

When it uses the network

These are the only times Caption Glass uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Counter

Everything stays on your device. No account, no server that receives your data, no analytics and no third-party code. Offer letters are never uploaded; you type the figures.

About Counter

What it keeps on your device

  • Your offers and current job as you typed them, your ask inputs and display preferences
  • Settings, including your license code if you enter one. It holds a one-way fingerprint of the email it was issued to, never the email itself.
  • Your private outcome log

What it never keeps

  • What you type on the Practice page. It stays in the page's memory for that visit only.

When it uses the network

These are the only times Counter uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Update check
When: Not active in current builds.
What is sent: In a build that has an update address, a plain request for one small file at most once a day, with no identifiers. It can be turned off in Settings.
Sent to: The Lanternwright update host.

What is sent: The text of one script and the model name
Sent to: A model you run on your own device (only local addresses are accepted).

What reaches Lanternwright

Nothing. Counter sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Counter has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

When it uses the network

These are the only times Kindstart uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Update check
When: On by default, and you can turn it off.

Nothing. Kindstart sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Kindstart has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

When it uses the network

These are the only times Readglass uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Keeping and deleting

Telemetry

None. Prop Press has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Shelfmend

Shelfmend runs on your computer, collects nothing, and sends nothing anywhere except to your own Audiobookshelf server, and only when you ask it to.

About Shelfmend

What it keeps on your device

  • The config file, if you create one

Telemetry

None. Shelfmend has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

Everything is on your own disk. Delete the state and quarantine folders to remove it.

Also worth knowing

  • Reports can contain folder and file names. A redact option replaces every path, title, name and ID before you share one.

Vault Herald

Vault Herald reads your files and writes plain files. No account, no server, no telemetry, and no network use at all.

About Vault Herald

What it keeps on your device

  • Only the output it builds (the Foundry module and wiki folders), where you tell it to write them

When it uses the network

Never. Vault Herald makes no network requests of its own.

What reaches Lanternwright

Nothing. Vault Herald sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Vault Herald has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

The output files are yours. Delete them whenever you like.

Thingstead

Thingstead runs on your machine, reads transcripts read-only, keeps its index in your home directory, and sends nothing anywhere until you set up a tracker, a digest destination, a hub or a language model command. Everything it sends passes one redaction gate first.

About Thingstead

What it keeps on your device

  • Its search index and settings, in your home directory
  • Tracker tokens, digest secrets and the hub key, in your operating system's keychain or a private credentials file
  • Your Pro license file, checked offline

What it never keeps

  • Changes to your transcripts. They are opened read-only and never written, locked or renamed.

When it uses the network

These are the only times Thingstead uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

Tracker linking
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: Links and new cards, written only after you confirm the exact redacted payload
Sent to: The tracker you connect (GitHub Issues, Jira or Trello).
Daily digest (Pro)
When: Off until you turn it on.

Sent to: The destination you set up, such as a Discord thread or an email address.
Multi-machine hub (Pro)
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: Redacted, signed session metadata
Sent to: A hub you run yourself.
Language model titles and summaries (Pro)
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: Redacted session text, under a daily cost cap
Sent to: Your own command or API key.

What reaches Lanternwright

Nothing. Thingstead sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Thingstead has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

The index lives on your machine until you delete it. Rebuilding it re-reads your transcripts.

Also worth knowing

  • Redaction is best-effort. Sessions you mark private never leave the machine.

Mimir

Mimir runs on your computer and transcribes speech there. There is no Mimir account or server, no telemetry, and the license is checked on your PC. Nothing about your game leaves your computer unless you turn on a feature that says it does.

About Mimir

What it keeps on your device

  • Live audio, in memory only while it is transcribed
  • Recorded audio, only if you turn recording on, deleted after the number of days you set
  • Transcripts, recaps and a search index built from your vault
  • Voiceprints, only when you enroll someone for Pro speaker ID
  • AI spend totals (amounts and counts only, no text)
  • Your license (a one-way hash of the buyer's email, not the email), and AI keys in your operating system's keyring

When it uses the network

These are the only times Mimir uses the network. Anything not listed here never leaves your device.

AI answers and recaps
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: Your question, matching passages from your notes, the last few minutes of transcript and campaign context; for recaps, the session transcript. Every call is checked against your spend caps first.
Sent to: The AI provider you choose with your own key (Anthropic or an OpenAI-compatible service), or nobody if you use a model on your own PC.
Discord voice feature
When: Off until you turn it on.
What is sent: Your Discord user ID, so the bot can join your channel. No audio is sent.
Sent to: A Discord bot you run yourself.
Model downloads
When: On first use.
What is sent: Ordinary download requests for speech and search models, with nothing about your game
Sent to: The model publishers' hosts (Hugging Face and GitHub).

What reaches Lanternwright

Nothing. Mimir sends no data to Lanternwright.

Telemetry

None. Mimir has no telemetry, analytics or crash reporting, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Keeping and deleting

Recordings and transcripts can be deleted automatically after the number of days you set. One command lists everything Mimir keeps and another deletes it.

Also worth knowing

  • Transcribing people is recording them. The person running Mimir is responsible for getting the table's agreement, and Mimir prints a notice to share first.

Your rights and choices

You can ask what data is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and withdraw consent at any time.

Email support@lanternwright.com and you will get an answer within 30 days, at no charge.

Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have further rights, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

This site and its waitlists are not meant for children under 13. If you believe a child has joined a waitlist, email support@lanternwright.com and the address will be deleted.

Changes to this policy

Changes are posted on this page with a new last-updated date. If a change would use your data in a new way, you will be asked first.
