Privacy and terms

This service stores things you have chosen to remember. That only works if you know exactly what is kept, who can reach it, and how to remove it. Here it is.

Last updated 2 November 2026.

What is stored

Your email address. Given at sign-up. Used to identify the account and to send you a key if you lose every device.
Your memory files. Whatever you or your AI writes: names, contents and dates. This is the service itself.
Keys, hashed. Device keys and sign-in tokens are stored as SHA-256 hashes, never in a readable form. A key is shown to you once and cannot be recovered afterwards, only replaced.
Connection records. When an AI signs in: which client, when, when it was last used, when it expires. This is what the “Signed-in AIs” list shows you.

What is not stored

Visits are counted as totals, nothing more. We count visits per day and which website sent them. Nothing about you: no cookies, no IP addresses, no tracking across sites, no advertising. There is no third-party script on this site at all, and no webfont. Nothing here contacts anyone but this server.
Chats are counted as totals too. Per day and per AI app, we count how many chats used your memory, read it, and saved to it. Nothing about you: not your account, not which notes, not a word from them.
No request logs. The server does not record who read or wrote what, or when. Errors are logged; ordinary use is not.
IP addresses are not kept. They are held in memory to limit sign-ups and recovery emails, and are gone when the process restarts. They are never written to the database.
Your memory is never used to train anything, sold, or shared with anyone.

Who can see your memory

You decide who opens your notes. Only the apps you connect can, each with its own key. Until you lock your notes (below), they are kept the way most online services keep your data: private and protected, and readable by the people who run the service. Once they are locked, even we can’t read them.

Locked notes

Your notes are locked. Only apps you’ve connected can open them, and knowsme can’t read them. You turn this on once, on your dashboard, by choosing a passphrase. After that there is nothing to lock or unlock: your apps just work.

Every note, and every earlier version of it, is stored locked. So is its name. A database leak or a stolen backup shows nothing readable. Your rules stay readable, because they are the instructions every AI you use reads first.
Each app you connect holds its own key, which only its own sign-in opens. We store the sign-ins only in a form we cannot use. Disconnect an app and its key is gone.
When your AI asks for a note, it’s opened just long enough to hand over, then locked again. The code that does this is public, so anyone can check it. The AI you let read a note always sees what it says.
“Lock everything now”, on your dashboard, takes every app’s key away at once, for when a device is lost.
If you lose both your passphrase and your recovery code, nobody can open your notes, including us.

Made for your projects and how you like to work. Keep passwords and card numbers somewhere else.

Where it lives

knowsme (formerly Portable Memory) is run by Godspeed Digital Ventures, Accra, Ghana.

It runs on rented cloud infrastructure and uses a small number of established providers: a server, a managed database that holds your account and your memory files, and a mail service that sends the recovery email and nothing else. They handle your data only in order to run the service, never for their own purposes, and none of them is given it to keep or to use. If you want to know exactly who they are before you trust the service with something, they are named on the security page.

Traffic is encrypted in transit, and the database is encrypted at rest.

Deleting it

One file: tell your AI to forget it, or delete it from the app.
One AI’s access: end its session under “Signed-in AIs”, or revoke a device key under “Your devices”. It stops working immediately.
Everything: press Delete my account at the bottom of your dashboard. It removes every file, key and session, and the account itself, straight away. It cannot be undone. There is no backup from which your files can be restored.

Terms, briefly

This is early access, run by Godspeed. It may be unavailable, may lose data, and comes with no warranty and no guarantee of uptime. Keep anything you cannot afford to lose somewhere else as well.
Your memory is yours. No ownership over what you store is claimed. You can take it out at any time.
Do not use it for anything illegal, to store other people’s personal data without their knowledge, or to attack the service. Accounts doing so will be removed.
Limits apply so one account cannot exhaust a shared service: a size cap per file and per account, and a cap on files. You will be told if you reach one.
Liability is limited to what you have paid for the service.

Changes and contact

If this page changes in a way that affects what is stored or who can see it, the account email will be told. Questions, or a request to delete something: venturesgodspeed@gmail.com.
