This policy describes how turbomem handles information when you use the open-source library, CLI, and @turbomem/mcp Claude Desktop extension.
turbomem is local-first. Memories are stored on your computer. We do not operate a cloud memory service and we do not receive your memories, chat content, or API keys. The only external traffic is to the AI provider you choose (OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic) to extract facts and generate embeddings for search.
When you use turbomem, you may provide:
turbomem does not send memories or API keys to turbomem servers, collect extension analytics by default, or access Claude conversations beyond what you pass to memory tools.
Memories are stored in a database on your machine (default: ~/.turbomem/data). Only software on your device with filesystem access can read it.
Relevant text is sent to the provider(s) you configure for extraction and search. Their policies apply:
Use forget or forget_everything in the MCP extension, or delete your data directory. Uninstalling the extension does not remove stored memories automatically.
This site and docs.turbomem.dev are static. Waitlist or contact submissions are handled separately from MCP memory storage.
