Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 6, 2026

Introduction

PotionHub is a local-first desktop application for soap and candle makers. We believe your recipes, formulations, and business data belong to you — not on our servers. This policy covers the PotionHub desktop app and the potionhub.app website.

Information We Don't Collect

All your recipes, batches, inventory, and formulation data are stored locally in a SQLite database on your device. There is no cloud backend, no syncing service, and no way for us to access your data. We never see what you create in PotionHub.

Information We Collect

License Validation

When you activate PotionHub, your license key, a unique instance ID, your device name, and the email associated with your purchase are sent to our payment provider, LemonSqueezy, for activation and validation. Your license key is encrypted locally on your device using your operating system's secure storage (safeStorage). This information is used solely to verify your license.

Website Analytics

On the potionhub.app website, we use PostHog (EU-hosted) for basic analytics. This collects pages visited, browser and device type, approximate location, and referral source. No analytics are collected inside the desktop app.

Waitlist

If you sign up for our waitlist, we collect your email address and platform preference via Netlify Forms. This information is used only to notify you when PotionHub launches.

Cookies

PostHog may set analytics cookies on the potionhub.app website. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The desktop app does not use cookies.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• LemonSqueezy — payment processing and license management
• PostHog — website analytics (EU-hosted)
• Netlify — website hosting and form handling

Data Control

Your local data is entirely yours. You can export or delete it at any time from within the app. Uninstalling PotionHub removes the application from your device. If you signed up for the waitlist and want your email removed, contact us and we'll delete it promptly.

Children's Privacy

PotionHub is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
