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.

- Adam, Founder
