Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

LENS ("we", "us", "our") is an open-source project. This policy describes how we handle information related to the LENS website and CLI tool.

Local-First Design

LENS runs entirely on your machine. Your source code, index data, and query results never leave your device. The CLI, daemon, and dashboard operate locally with no external network calls.

All indexed data is stored in SQLite databases at ~/.lens/. No data is transmitted to any server.

Website Data

Analytics. The LENS website may use basic analytics (page views, referrers) to understand usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is collected.

Error tracking. We use Sentry for crash reporting on the website only. Error reports may include browser type, page URL, and stack traces. No source code or repository data is included.

Third-Party Services

The LENS website uses:

Cloudflare — CDN and DDoS protection for the website
Sentry — Error tracking for the website frontend

The LENS CLI and daemon make no external network requests. All processing happens locally.

Your Rights

Since LENS stores all data locally on your machine, you have full control over your data at all times. Delete ~/.lens/ to remove all indexed data. Uninstall the CLI to remove the tool entirely.
