The short version: we barely collect anything.
IdeaTwister is a one-time purchase digital product that runs entirely on your own machine, inside whichever AI coding tool you already use. There is no IdeaTwister server, no cloud processing of your ideas by us, no user accounts, and no telemetry. The only third party that sees your prompts is the AI provider behind the tool you choose, via your own API key or subscription.
IdeaTwister (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is a digital product sold as a one-time purchase through LemonSqueezy. The product is a locally-run agentic system for founders and indie hackers.
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with our website (ideatwister.com) and the purchase of the IdeaTwister product.
Purchase information: When you buy IdeaTwister via LemonSqueezy, LemonSqueezy collects your payment details (email address, payment method). We receive your email address to fulfill your digital download. We do not store credit card numbers - LemonSqueezy handles all payment processing.
Website analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g. aggregate page view counts, referral sources) to understand how people discover IdeaTwister. These analytics do not identify individual visitors and do not use persistent tracking cookies.
Contact communications: If you contact us via email with a support request or question, we retain that correspondence to respond and resolve your inquiry.
Your business ideas. IdeaTwister processes all ideas locally on your machine. Nothing you type into the /ideatwister command is transmitted to our servers. Prompts are sent only to the AI provider behind the coding tool you're using (for example Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google), via your own API key or subscription with that provider or vendor.
Usage data or telemetry. We do not embed any tracking or telemetry in the IdeaTwister product. We have no visibility into how many times you run it, which ideas you submit, or what outputs it generates.
Account data. There are no IdeaTwister accounts. You do not register, log in, or maintain a profile with us.
The limited data we receive is used solely to:
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
We use the following third parties to run the website and the purchase flow. Each one has its own privacy policy that governs the data they hold.
AI coding tools and AI providers handle the API calls made during your local IdeaTwister runs. IdeaTwister runs on top of an AI coding tool you install yourself (such as Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode). That tool routes API calls to its underlying AI provider - for example Anthropic for Claude Code, OpenAI for Codex, or Google for Gemini CLI. Your use of those tools and APIs is governed by each vendor's and provider's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We have no access to those API calls and are not a party to your relationship with any AI provider or tool vendor. The current list of supported platforms is published at /platforms.
Our website may use minimal, essential cookies (e.g. for security or session management). We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time without affecting your ability to purchase or download IdeaTwister.
We retain your email address (as the purchaser) for as long as necessary to support your access to the product and respond to refund requests within our 7-day guarantee window. Support correspondence is retained for up to 12 months.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email listed below. We will respond within 30 days.
IdeaTwister is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this policy if our data practices change materially. When we do, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the product after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
