Data Compliance

Lore Labs — Alchemist

Effective Date: June 4, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 4, 2026

DPDP 2023 Compliant GDPR Compliant CCPA Compliant Local-First Architecture

Our compliance posture is simple: We don't collect your data. Your learning data lives on your device, under your control. This is not a policy decision — it is an architectural decision. The system was designed this way from the ground up.

1. Architecture Overview

Alchemist uses a local-first architecture. This means:

This architectural choice eliminates entire categories of compliance risk by design, rather than by policy.

Open the Alchemist application. All your data is visible within the app. Use the Library panel to browse your session history and content blocks.

Export Your Data

Use the built-in export features to download your data in PDF, EPUB, or .zay format. This satisfies the right to data portability.

Delete Your Data

Clear your browser's site data for the Alchemist domain, or uninstall the application. Since no copy of your data exists on our servers, this permanently deletes all your data.
