Privacy Policy

How Luvus handles data in the local app, optional agent skills, and the Luvus website.

Last updated August 19, 2026

Overview

Luvus is local software for controlling terminal panes and coding agents. The Luvus project does not operate a hosted agent service and does not receive your prompts, terminal output, repository files, or messages sent between local agents.

Local app and optional agent skills

Luvus stores the configuration and session state needed to run the app on your computer. This can include workspace paths, layouts, pane and agent metadata, tasks, modules, and preferences. The default data directory is ~/.luvus. You can select another location with Luvus's supported environment variables.

Agent skills are disabled by default. When you explicitly enable one, Luvus downloads it from the configured HTTPS endpoint after verifying a signed manifest and file hashes, then stores it in that agent's native local skill directory. The skill starts no separate network service and stores no separate account data. It calls the installed luvus command and communicates with your configured local Luvus server through its Unix socket.

Commands you ask Luvus or a coding agent to run can read or change files and can contact external services. That access is determined by your request, local permissions, sandbox settings, and the tools you have installed.

Website and documentation

Luvus does not use a first-party account system or first-party visitor analytics on luvus.dev. Cloudflare Pages hosts the site and may process ordinary request information such as an IP address, browser details, requested URL, and time of access to deliver and protect the site.

Data recipients

The Luvus project does not receive local project data merely because you use the app or a skill. Cloudflare processes website request information as the hosting provider. GitHub processes information you choose to include in an issue or private security advisory. A command you ask Luvus to run may also send data to a third-party tool or service you selected, subject to that provider's policies and your local permissions.

Data retention

Local configuration and session state remain on your computer until you remove them through Luvus, uninstall the related data, or delete the configured data directory. Agent skills keep no separate account or hosted copy of that data.

The Luvus project does not create or retain a separate first-party database of website request logs. Cloudflare may retain request information under its privacy policy. Information submitted to GitHub remains there until it is deleted by the author, a repository maintainer, or GitHub under its applicable policies.

Third-party services

Luvus can launch or control third-party tools including Codex, other coding agents, Git, GitHub, and your shell. Those products may process data under their own privacy policies. Installing the Luvus skill does not change the policies or permissions of those products.

Sale and sharing of personal data

The Luvus project does not sell personal data. It does not receive local project data merely because you use the Luvus app or an optional skill.

Your choices

You control local Luvus data through the app, its CLI, and its configured data directory. You can disable an agent skill without stopping Luvus or changing a Luvus session. You can avoid submitting information to GitHub, edit or delete information where GitHub permits it, and use the private security advisory form for a sensitive report.

Changes and contact

This policy may change as Luvus develops. Material updates will be published on this page with a new date. For privacy questions, open a GitHub issue. For a sensitive security report, use GitHub's private security advisory form.
