Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Overview
Blade Terminal ("Blade", "we", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Blade terminal emulator and related services.
Information We Collect
Blade is designed with privacy as a core principle. The terminal emulator itself runs entirely on your local machine.
- Account information: Email address and display name when you create an account for Blade Pro features
- Usage analytics: Anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (opt-in only)
- Crash reports: Anonymous crash reports to improve stability (opt-in only)
- Cloud usage data: Instance creation, hibernation, and termination times for billing purposes when using Blade Cloud
What We Do Not Collect
- Terminal input or output
- File contents or code
- SSH keys or credentials
- Claude Code conversations or prompts
- Multiplayer session content or chat messages
Multiplayer Sessions
Multiplayer sessions use end-to-end encryption (X25519 key exchange + AES-256-GCM). Terminal content and chat messages are encrypted between participants and are never accessible to Blade servers.
Cloud Instances
Blade Cloud instances run in isolated Firecracker microVMs. Your code, files, and environment variables exist only within your instance and are destroyed on termination. We do not access or monitor the contents of cloud instances. Disk storage is encrypted at rest.
Data Storage
Account data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties.
