Privacy Policy

Folara is a calm personal tool for saving useful things and finding them again later. This page explains the minimum we need to store to run the product, support your account, and keep the service safe.

Want the product flow first? Start with How Folara works.

Private by default

Folara is private by default.

Your saved items, notes, collections, and export records stay tied to your account rather than being published publicly.

What Folara stores

We store the email address tied to your account, the material you choose to save, your notes, collections, and export records.

We also retain a small amount of operational and security information needed to run the product, prevent abuse, and investigate failures.

AI and relatedness processing

Folara may send eligible text from saved items to external AI processing providers so the product can generate embeddings and improve related-item suggestions.

Folara uses that processing to run product features. External providers may still process that data under their own terms and policies.

Provider categories Folara relies on

Folara relies on infrastructure, transactional email, and AI processing providers to host the product, deliver sign-in and support email, and run relatedness features.

Those providers may change over time as long as Folara's core trust posture stays the same.

Cookies and sessions

Folara uses essential cookies needed to keep you signed in and protect your session.

Folara does not use third-party advertising cookies, and it does not use a third-party analytics tracker for marketing profiling.

Browser extension

Folara also has a browser extension. The extension acts only when you explicitly ask it to save something.

Depending on what you choose, the extension may save the current page, selected text, a link, or a confirmed set of tabs. It can also include an optional note or collection you choose at save time.

Tab, title, and URL access is used only to complete a user-initiated save or to prepare a confirmed bulk save. Folara does not silently monitor your browsing activity.

If you are already signed in, extension saves can happen directly from the extension. If you are not signed in, Folara may fall back to its normal secure web sign-in and handoff flow before finishing the save.

Exports, deletion, and bounded retention

Folara offers a portable export so you can keep a Markdown + JSON copy of your library.

Deleting your account removes access to your library and the personal space tied to your email.

Folara keeps operational and security records for limited periods rather than forever, and it purges them on a rolling basis to keep the service lean.

Some records may still be retained when required for legal or security reasons.

Email-link sign-in

Folara uses a secure email link to keep sign-in simple. We use your email address to send the sign-in link and account-related messages.

If you have questions about privacy, deletion, or exports, you can use the contact path on the contact page.
