Limnforge

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how Whitehand Publishing Pty Ltd handles information in connection with Limnforge, the Limnforge website, support communications, guide-pack requests, and the Limnforge desktop application.

Local-first product model

Limnforge is designed primarily as a local desktop application. Project files, manuscripts, style references, character libraries, generated artwork, snapshots, and export packages are intended to live on your own computer unless you choose to move, back up, upload, or share them.

Information we may collect

Depending on how you use Limnforge and this website, we may handle the following kinds of information:

• Guide-pack request details, such as your name, email address, project type, and what you hope to create.
• Support information you choose to send, such as your Limnforge version, operating system, screenshots, error messages, and a description of the issue.
• Purchase, billing, or account information processed through a payment provider or software delivery platform, if those systems are added.
• Local project information stored on your device, including manuscripts, prompts, uploaded references, style references, generated outputs, project settings, and export files.
• Locally stored API configuration, including your chosen model settings and API key storage handled by the app on your device.

OpenAI and other AI providers

Limnforge V1.0 uses your own OpenAI API account for image generation. When you generate artwork, Limnforge sends the prompts, reference inputs, images, and request data required for that generation to OpenAI through the OpenAI API. OpenAI processes that information according to its own terms, privacy policy, account settings, and API data practices.

Whitehand Publishing does not control OpenAI's independent processing practices, account access rules, model availability, pricing, billing, or policy changes. Future Limnforge versions may support additional image-generation providers through their own APIs, in which case those providers' terms and privacy practices will also apply.

API keys

Your API key is intended to be stored locally on your computer for convenience. It is not included in Limnforge project folders or export packages. Do not send API keys in screenshots, emails, guide requests, or support tickets.

Website and guide requests

This website is currently a static site. If you request the guide pack, the information you provide may be used to respond to your request, understand the kinds of projects Limnforge users want to create, and provide launch communications related to Limnforge. Before adding analytics, a CRM, mailing-list provider, payment system, or embedded form service, this policy should be reviewed and updated to describe those tools.

Support and diagnostics

Limnforge does not currently describe itself as collecting automatic telemetry from your projects. If crash reporting, diagnostics, analytics, or remote logging are added later, this policy should be updated before those features are used. If you contact support, only send information needed to diagnose the issue.

How we share information

Whitehand Publishing does not sell your project data. We may share limited information only where reasonably necessary, such as with:

• AI providers selected or configured by you through the app.
• Payment processors, software delivery platforms, form providers, email providers, or support tools used to operate Limnforge.
• Professional advisers, service providers, or authorities where required for business administration, legal compliance, safety, or enforcement.

Your control

You control your local Limnforge project files. You can delete local projects, remove local references, delete generated outputs, remove API keys from the app, and manage your own backups. If you ask us to remove information you have sent through support or guide-pack requests, we will respond according to applicable law and our operational requirements.

Security

We use reasonable steps to protect information we handle, but no software, local storage, website, email, or third-party service can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your own computer, API keys, project folders, backups, and exported files.

Children

Limnforge is intended for adult creators, illustrators, authors, publishers, educators, and professional users. It is not directed at children as end users.

International users

Limnforge is operated by an Australian company. If you use Limnforge from outside Australia, your information may be handled in Australia and by third-party providers in other countries.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new last-updated date.
