Astrohaus Founder Statement on AI and Privacy

July 30, 2024 | 2 min read

Artificial intelligence has already transformed writing. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be in control of your own words.

Here at Astrohaus, we embrace new technologies, i.e., we are not a retro-computing company. We love thinking about how new technology can be thoughtfully added to our lives. The key word "thoughtfully" being very important here. We also believe that we shouldn’t lie down and let technology trample us and our values.

I want to be crystal clear, your writing is your writing. Other than syncing to authorized cloud providers like Google and Dropbox, we will never sell, lend, or otherwise give access to your private work.

If you want to use your written work as input to an LLM, that should be entirely up to you and opt-in. We currently do not have any AI or LLMs as part of the Astrohaus offering, but these tools are too powerful to ignore. They are already helping writers brainstorm, summarize, and edit. If we ever do integrate any AI tools, I want you to know that your data will never be used without your explicit consent.

And just to reiterate: the Astrohaus team does not have access to your data, except for limited members of our development team when it is required for doing their job to improve our services and maintenance.

When you sync your documents from Postbox to third-party cloud services like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Evernote, or Dropbox, your data is then governed by those services’ AI policies, not by Astrohaus. We’ve linked their relevant policies here:

Dropbox

Google Drive

Microsoft OneDrive

Evernote

Astrohaus is committed to promoting expression and celebrating the value of human-written language. Your commitment to the craft of writing inspires us daily, and maintaining the integrity of your voice is at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for choosing Freewrite as your partner in creativity.

We're about to hit 1 billion words written on Freewrite devices. And we're doing a giveaway to celebrate.

One billion words is an entire library! About 11,000 novels.

That's 920 full read-throughs of the entire Harry Potter series.

Roughly 23 complete sets of Encyclopedia Britannica.

And we're almost there. Want to be part of the journey?

One writer who participates in the journey to a billion will be chosen to receive a prize pack the likes of which we've never given away before. And you don't have to own a Freewrite to enter.

One lucky winner will receive a prize package valued at $1,595:

  • A Freewrite Ernest Hemingway Edition Smart Typewriter with case and polishing cloth ($1,099 value)
  • An Author Clock ($209 value)
  • A Freewrite Circa Leather Discbound Notebook ($159.50 value)
  • A free 1-year subscription to Freewrite Plus ($40 value)

How do you enter? Write. That's it.

Specifically: 

👉 Write on your Freewrite and sync to Postbox.

👉 If you don't own a Freewrite, write in our free app, Sprinter, and sync to a Postbox account. (Directions to create a Postbox account can be found here.)

Every day that you log words in Postbox (which is automatically done when you write and sync in the Freewrite ecosystem) will earn you 1 entry in the giveaway of all giveaways.

The more days you write, the more entires you'll have when we hit a billion.

Time Is Ticking
