# privacy, plans & keys

> how your data is handled, what the plans cost, and the optional bring-your-own-keys setup.

the practical stuff: your privacy, what Folk costs, and an optional power-user
setting.

## your privacy

Folk is built so your private life stays private:

- **we don't train on your data.** your conversations and memory are yours.
- **your own space.** Folk runs in an isolated environment dedicated to your
  account. it's not sharing a brain with other people.
- **you stay in control.** Folk asks before doing anything with real-world
  consequences, and you can clear your [memory](/docs/memory) anytime.

for the full legal version, see the [privacy policy](https://getfolk.app/privacy)
and [terms](https://getfolk.app/terms).

## plans

Folk has two paid plans on top of the permanent free tier:

  - pro: the everyday plan for using folk as your personal assistant.
  - max: more headroom for heavier, more demanding use.

every account starts on the **free tier** — free forever, with a monthly
fair-use limit — so you can try Folk properly before paying. referred
first-time subscribers get a 30-day Pro trial. you can manage or cancel your
plan anytime from billing in your [dashboard](https://getfolk.app).

  want to cancel or delete your account entirely? both live in your dashboard
  settings. no email-us-to-cancel nonsense.

## bring your own keys (optional)

this one's for power users and you can completely ignore it otherwise.

if you have your own API keys for providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or others,
you can plug them into Folk so your usage runs on your own accounts. two ways:

- **in the dashboard**: settings → your keys, where they're stored encrypted.
- **in the chat**: tell Folk and hand it the key; it'll save it securely.

  most people never need this. Folk works great out of the box. BYOK is just
  there if you specifically want to use your own provider accounts.
