Privacy Policy
Our privacy commitments — before you read anything else.
- We never sell your data. Not now. Not ever.
- We never use your traces to serve you ads.
- We never share your content with third parties for their own purposes.
- Your traces are private by default. That's not a setting — it's how Trase is built.
- We collect only what we need to make Trase work for you.
- You can delete your account and all your data at any time, no questions asked.
Who We Are
Trase is a private space to leave traces of what inspires you and rediscover them when you need them.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Trase, why we collect it, and how we handle it. If you have any questions, you can always reach us at privacy@usetrase.com.
What We Collect & Why
Our guiding principle is to collect only what we need. Here is exactly what that looks like in practice.
To create and identify your account; to send essential service emails.
To personalise your account and experience within Trase.
To store and display your saved content across all your devices.
To detect unauthorised access and prevent malicious abuse.
To deliver a consistent experience and diagnose technical issues.
To understand how Trase is used so we can continuously improve it.
What we do not collect
We do not build advertising profiles. We do not track you across other websites. We do not buy or receive data about you from data brokers.
AI Processing
To help you rediscover your traces naturally, Trase analyses the content you save — generating titles, summaries, tags, colour palettes, and reading text within images.
What gets analysed
- Images — for visual analysis, colour extraction, and OCR
- Link content — for summarisation and tag generation
- Notes — for contextual tagging and title suggestions

We honour the same universal data rights for all Trase users, regardless of geography.
