Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
The Short Version
Saga Labs, LLC ("Saga") is built local-first: your journal entries and conversations are stored on your device, not our servers. When you chat, your messages are sent to AI providers to generate responses, but they're not stored or used for training. We collect only what's needed to run the service—your email and usage data for billing.
What Data Stays Local
- All your conversations with Saga
- Your journal entries and personal notes
- Your conversation history and context
This data is stored locally on your Mac in standard markdown files that you own and control. You can read, export, back up, or delete this data at any time using any text editor or file manager.
What We Process
When you send a message, your conversation is sent to third-party AI providers to generate a response. This is necessary for Saga to work.
- Conversations are processed in real-time and not stored on our servers
- We do not use your data to train AI models, and our AI providers do not train on your data
- We do not sell your data to third parties

Your Rights
