Transparency

Most transparency reports are long tables of data handovers because the underlying product stored user data in the first place. LibreSearch is architected the other way: if we do not log searches or maintain accounts, there is often nothing responsive to a subpoena beyond “we do not have that record.”

That is a design choice, not a loophole. This page focuses on what we retain, what we would do if served legal process, and how you can verify the implementation.

LibreSearch

• Search queries: not stored as a user-attributed history.
• Accounts: none required; no profile database.
• Settings: client-side in your browser unless a feature explicitly says otherwise.

libreapps.xyz

• Contact form submissions: kept only as long as needed to respond.
• Standard server/hosting logs: may exist for security; not used for advertising profiles.

See Privacy policy for website specifics.

If we receive valid legal process, we will:

• Review it with counsel when appropriate.
• Produce only data we actually hold.
• Push back on overbroad requests where the law allows.
• Update this page when a disclosure affects users in a material way, when we are legally permitted to do so.

We will publish summary counts here after we have completed at least one reporting period — not before. Until then, the table below stays empty on purpose.

Policies are only as good as the code behind them. LibreSearch is AGPL-3.0. Clone the repo, read the request path, and file an issue if something does not match this page.
