Privacy Policy

LINEAR operates a curated architecture, design, travel, and place-discovery service. The LINEAR MCP lets compatible AI clients — such as ChatGPT, Claude, and other MCP clients — query the LINEAR archive for architecture, hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, landmarks, other visitable places, and design and architectural projects.

Queries may relate to location, architect or designer, material, mood, aesthetic, architectural style, property type, or travel intent. Some searches may also lead to LINEAR Concierge.

LINEAR receives the information intentionally supplied to its MCP tools by the AI client in order to complete a request. That is typically a short, task-specific input such as:

• A destination
• A requested type of place
• Design or architectural criteria
• Mood or aesthetic criteria
• Price-related preferences
• A task-specific search phrase

For example: “quiet modernist hotels in Menorca”, “brutalist cafes in Tokyo”, or “somewhere that feels like The Talented Mr. Ripley”.

LINEAR does not intentionally receive or collect complete ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI conversation histories through the MCP. The MCP receives only the task-specific input passed to an individual tool call. LINEAR cannot see everything you say to your AI client.

LINEAR uses Supabase to store limited product analytics generated through use of the MCP, such as tool usage, requested destinations and categories, result counts, archive coverage, Concierge demand, performance information, and sanitized task-specific search queries.

These analytics may be used to understand:

• How often the MCP is used and which tools are used
• Which destinations and categories people ask about
• Which architectural, design, material, or mood attributes are requested
• Which searches return strong results, few results, or no results
• Which destinations have weak or missing archive coverage
• Where people ask for hotel or Concierge recommendations
• Whether Concierge is offered after a search, and whether a Concierge or booking link is generated
• Product reliability, latency, and errors
• Which broad MCP client is in use when that is reliably provided, such as ChatGPT or Claude

The purpose is improving the LINEAR archive, identifying where coverage is needed, understanding demand, improving recommendations and LINEAR Concierge, product development, debugging, security, and abuse prevention.

LINEAR may retain a sanitized version of the task-specific search query supplied to an MCP tool. A LINEAR search query is the short phrase your AI client passes to a LINEAR tool. It is not your AI conversation, and the surrounding conversation is not intentionally appended to these records.

The analytics system is designed to avoid retaining unnecessary personal information. Free-text query analytics are sanitized before persistent storage, with removal or minimisation of things such as email addresses, phone numbers, authentication tokens, secrets, long unique identifiers, and obvious exact street addresses where practical.

LINEAR may also derive structured fields from a search, such as:

• Destination city, region, and country
• Requested category and price tier
• Design, material, and mood attributes
• Number of results, and whether results were unavailable
• Whether archive coverage was strong, thin, or missing
• Whether the query showed Concierge intent, whether Concierge was offered, and whether a Concierge link was generated
• Coarse client type

This information is used primarily in aggregate, to understand demand and archive coverage.

Where the MCP client provides it, LINEAR may receive coarse technical metadata identifying the broad client type — for example ChatGPT, Claude, another MCP client, or an unknown client. LINEAR does not use invasive browser or device fingerprinting to identify MCP users, and does not receive your OpenAI or Anthropic account identity.

The LINEAR MCP marketing site uses Lovable's built-in analytics to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited and general usage patterns. We use this information to improve the site and understand interest in the LINEAR MCP.

The site does not run advertising tags, error-monitoring scripts, form analytics, or other tracking technologies beyond Lovable analytics, and it does not set cookies for those purposes. It loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's font servers when the page loads.

If additional analytics or tracking are added to this site in future, this policy will be updated first, and a consent mechanism will be introduced where required.

This marketing site does not host a contact form, account system, or Concierge form. If you contact LINEAR for support, a privacy request, or feedback, LINEAR will receive whatever you choose to include in that message and will use it to respond.

Concierge and booking requests are handled by LINEAR's broader services rather than by this marketing site.

Searching the LINEAR MCP does not create a booking. Receiving a hotel recommendation does not create a booking. Generating a Concierge or booking link does not by itself confirm a reservation.

If you choose to proceed with Concierge, LINEAR may collect the information needed to provide the requested travel service — which may include your name, email address, travel dates, number of guests, room preferences, and any other booking-related details you supply.

LINEAR may share information with hotels, travel providers, booking partners, or other service providers only where necessary to process an explicit Concierge or booking request. Ordinary MCP searches are not sent to hotels.

• Providing MCP search and recommendation functionality
• Returning relevant LINEAR archive results
• Providing Concierge services when requested
• Improving search quality and archive coverage
• Understanding demand and measuring product usage
• Maintaining reliability and debugging
• Security, rate limiting, and abuse prevention
• Responding to support requests
• Meeting legal obligations

LINEAR does not use this information for advertising targeting or unrelated profiling.

LINEAR relies on third-party service providers to operate and maintain the LINEAR MCP. These currently include Lovable, which provides application and hosting infrastructure, and Supabase, which provides backend infrastructure including database services, server-side functions, and related data storage. These providers may process information on LINEAR's behalf only as necessary to provide their services to us.

Google Fonts is used for typeface delivery, which means your browser contacts Google's font servers when the page loads.

LINEAR may also disclose information where legally required, or where necessary to protect the security and integrity of the service.

• Sanitized query-level MCP analytics: retained for up to 90 days, after which query text is deleted or transformed into anonymous aggregate statistics.
• Diagnostic and error logs that may contain user-related information: retained for up to 30 days.
• Anonymous aggregate statistics: may be retained longer.
• Security and rate-limiting data: retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security and abuse prevention.
• Support requests: retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond and maintain appropriate business records.
• Concierge communications: retained only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service and meet legitimate business and legal obligations.

You can ask what information LINEAR holds about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or raise any question about these practices, by contacting us at hello@linear-magazine.com or through the Support page.

Because this site does not run advertising or tracking cookies beyond Lovable analytics, there are no site-level cookie controls or analytics opt-outs to offer.

LINEAR uses reasonable technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect information. No service can guarantee perfect security.

The LINEAR MCP is intended for adults and is not directed to children below the minimum age required to use the AI client through which the MCP is accessed.

The LINEAR MCP is available internationally. Depending on LINEAR's infrastructure providers, information may be processed in a country different from the one you are in.

This policy may change. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and the “Last updated” date above will be revised.
