Privacy Policy

Idea Builder is built to be offline-first. Your code, ideas, and the issue board live on your own machine, not on our servers. This policy explains the limited data that does leave your machine and why.

1. What stays on your machine

Your workspaces, git worktrees, ideas, and issues are stored locally as plain files (for example, issues as JSON in your project). Your source code and the contents of your Claude Code sessions are never sent to us. The issue board runs fully offline.

2. License activation and validation

When you activate a license key, the Software contacts our licensing provider, Dodo Payments, to verify the key and bind it to your machine. This involves your license key and a machine identifier. Activation requires a connection only once; afterwards the Software trusts the activation on that machine and keeps working offline.

3. Payment information

Purchases are processed by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. Your payment details (card numbers and similar) are handled by Dodo Payments and their payment processors — we never see or store them. We receive order and license information needed to fulfill and support your purchase, such as your email address and order reference. Dodo Payments’ handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy.

4. Optional Linear sync

Idea Builder can optionally sync your issues with Linear if you connect it. This is off by default. When you enable it, issue data is exchanged directly between your machine and Linear under your own Linear account and their privacy policy. If you never connect Linear, no issue data is shared.

5. What we do not do

• We do not collect or transmit your source code.
• We do not run analytics or tracking inside the extension.
• We do not sell your data.

6. Data retention

Local data stays on your machine until you delete it. License and order records held by us and by Dodo Payments are kept as long as needed to provide support, honor your license, and meet legal and accounting obligations.

7. Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you (primarily your order and license records). Email barakolshe@gmail.com and we will respond. Requests that concern payment records may be directed to Dodo Payments at support@dodopayments.com.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
