Privacy Policy
Last updated · August 9, 2026
1. Overview
Eidos develops the open Eidos File ecosystem, Eidos Lite, the browser editor, command-line tools, and optional hosted services. This policy explains what information we process when you use eidos.space and those hosted services.
2. Local files
Eidos File and Eidos Lite are local-first. Files you create or open remain on your device unless you explicitly send data to a hosted service. You do not need an Eidos account to use the core local tools.
- We cannot access local files that you do not upload or sync.
- Your local files continue to work when you sign out or stop using a hosted service.
- You are responsible for backups of data kept only on your devices.
3. Account and authentication data
If you create an account, we process information needed to identify and secure it. Depending on the sign-in method, this may include your name, email address, email-verification state, authentication-provider identifier, passkey metadata, session information, and security logs.
4. Payments and Credits
When you make a purchase, payment providers such as Creem process your payment details under their own privacy policies. Eidos receives the transaction identifiers, product, amount, status, and other information needed to grant Credits or a paid service period, prevent duplicate fulfillment, provide receipts, and support your account. Eidos does not store full card details.
5. Eidos Sync
Eidos Sync is an optional hosted remote for version synchronization and recovery. When you enable it, the service processes account and device identifiers, repository metadata, version objects, storage usage, and operational logs needed to provide and secure Sync.
Data is protected in transit and by the storage provider's encryption at rest. Eidos Sync is not currently offered as an end-to-end encrypted service. Your working SQLite files remain local and independent of the hosted service.
6. Website data and cookies
We use essential cookies or similar storage for authentication, language preference, security, and request continuity. We may collect limited technical data such as browser type, approximate network information, requested pages, timestamps, and error logs to operate and protect the service. If analytics are enabled, we use them to understand aggregate product usage rather than to read your local content.
7. Sharing and service providers
We share information only with providers needed to run Eidos, such as hosting, authentication, email, storage, fraud prevention, and payment services; when required by law; or when you direct us to do so. We do not sell your personal information.
8. Retention and security
We retain account, transaction, and operational data only as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent abuse. No system is perfectly secure, but we use access controls, signed webhooks, scoped credentials, and other safeguards appropriate to the data being processed.
9. Your choices
You can use local Eidos tools without an account, disable optional Sync, revoke Sync devices and CLI keys, and export or retain your local files independently. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of account data, contact us using the channels below. Some transaction or security records may need to be retained where required by law or legitimate operational needs.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the product or applicable requirements change. We will publish the revised policy here and update the date above. Questions or privacy requests can be sent through the Eidos GitHub repository or Discord community.
