glyph is a one-person, self-hosted project. this page says plainly what happens to your data — no legal team, just the truth.
what's collected: your username, a salted password hash (never the password itself), and whatever notes or sketches you write in your own account. Optional connections also record the client name, permissions, and hashed Glyph access credentials.
where it lives: on a single server I run and pay for (a Hetzner VPS). Your browser also keeps local note copies, pending edits, and settings for offline use. Glyph does not use analytics, trackers, or ad networks.
optional Codex connections: if you connect a client, read permission lets it list, search, and read your notes; write permission lets it create and update them. Note data returned to that client can be processed by its AI provider under that provider's terms. Connect only clients you trust, and revoke their access from Glyph's Codex panel whenever you want.
chat inside Glyph: this feature is currently awaiting OpenAI hosted-access approval and provider setup. It cannot send messages yet. When enabled, your messages, note-tool results, and any current note you choose to include will be sent to OpenAI. Existing drafts and notes are not automatically attached merely by opening the panel.
who can see it: me, as the person operating the server, people you explicitly share notes with, and clients you connect with the relevant permissions. Notes are stored per-account in separate folders.
how long it's kept: notes remain until you delete them. Connection records remain until you delete your Glyph data; revoking a connection disables its credentials immediately. Deleting your Glyph data also removes its connection records. With a shared account, your DakshHQ login remains available for other apps; signing back into Glyph starts an empty vault. Copies already sent to a connected client or AI provider are governed by that service's retention settings.
who this isn't for: glyph isn't intended for children under 13.
glyph is provided as-is, run by one person as a personal project, with no uptime guarantee and no warranty. Please don't use it for anything you can't afford to lose, and keep your own backup of anything critical — notes are plain markdown files, so exporting them is straightforward if you ever need to.
connected clients: connecting Codex or another client is optional. Your permission allows that client to read or write the Glyph notes covered by the access you approve. Keep personal access tokens private; someone with a token can use its permissions until it expires or you revoke it. You remain responsible for the clients you choose and the content you ask them to process.
AI assistance: AI-generated drafts and edits can contain mistakes. Review the result before relying on it or sharing it. Connecting a client does not change ownership of your notes or guarantee the accuracy of its output.
subscriptions and availability: Glyph is an independent app and does not sell or guarantee a Codex or ChatGPT subscription. Connected clients and AI services have their own terms, usage limits, availability, and retention settings. ChatGPT-plan chat inside Glyph remains unavailable until OpenAI approves hosted access and the required provider setup is complete.
who owns what: your notes, sketches and files remain yours. Glyph's software is copyright Daksh and distributed under the MIT License. The software licence permits reuse, modification and redistribution; it grants no access or rights to anyone's private notes, accounts, conversations or credentials.

permission to provide the service: you permit Glyph to store, display, and process your content for the features you choose, including sending relevant note data to clients or AI providers you authorize. Upload and share only content you have permission to use.
This service may change or shut down at any time — it's a hobby project, not a company.
