Lovable

Lovable, an AI app builder

Lovable lets you build a web app by describing what you want in plain language. It wires up the hosting, the database, and the AI models behind the scenes, and gives you a live lovable.app link. It serves makers and founders who want to ship a working app without writing the code.

It reads as mostly plain prose under clear headings, with a couple of all-caps blocks to push through.

You keep what you build on Lovable. But you grant it a broad, lasting license over your data, including for AI training.

Product

Lovable lets you build apps and sites by prompting AI, with optional cloud hosting and a gateway to outside models. Your license is limited, and they can pull it: it ends the moment you break the terms or your account closes. You own what you build and the output the AI makes for you, as far as the third-party rights in the underlying models allow. The product runs on prepaid Credits that you cannot refund or cash out, subscriptions renew on their own, and fees do not come back.

"Lovable grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, revocable license to access and use the Services... This license terminates immediately if you violate these Terms or your account is terminated for any reason."License to Use Lovable's Services
"Credits are prepaid and, except where required by law, non-refundable, and non-redeemable for cash or any value; they represent only a limited license to access the Services"Subscriptions, Fees, and Payments · Credits

Each AI action burns Credits whether or not it worked, and Lovable can take back any lovable.app subdomain at any time, for any reason, usually on seven days' notice.

Usage

You have to be eighteen, keep your details current, and follow a long list of rules. The Platform Rules set the content limits for anything you build, and Lovable can remove or block a project it decides breaks them. Sign in with a work email and your employer's admins can run and shut down the account, along with everything in it. You cannot put health data or other sensitive categories through it unless your plan says so, and you carry the rights and consents for whatever you run.

"Managed account administrators may access, manage, retain, suspend, or terminate the account and its contents, including any associated Customer Data."Your Account · Organization Accounts
"you agree not to upload, input, or otherwise provide through the Services any protected health information subject to HIPAA, or other special or sensitive categories of data (including financial account numbers, payment card data, government identifiers, or biometric data)."Your Content and Data · No Sensitive Data
"If we determine that a project includes content that is not allowed, we may remove or block it."Platform Rules · Introduction

"high-risk" and "sensitive contexts" mark where you must not lean on the AI's output, and the document defines neither. The Platform Rules keep Lovable as the final judge of how they are read, and let it revise them as it goes (Platform Rules · Introduction).

Feedback & improvement

Lovable takes a broad license over your data, model training included, and it is on from the start. You can switch model training off in your account settings, free, on any plan, and the AI features keep working. The Privacy Policy carves out the data your own app collects from its users: Lovable holds it in your project's database and does not train on it. They also keep a de-identified copy of your data for good. Feedback you send, they can use freely, and Lovable owns all the usage data.

"You grant Lovable a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, process, analyze, and otherwise exploit your Customer Data for Lovable's business purposes, including... developing and training artificial intelligence and machine learning models"Your Content and Data · Rights in Customer Data
"You may tell Lovable at any time that you do not want your Customer Data used for model training or the other business purposes described above, and Lovable will honor that request for prospective use, free of charge and regardless of your plan."Your Content and Data · Rights in Customer Data
"Your Users' Data (Section 2), including App Usage Data. It is held in your project's own database and storage, and we do not use it to train our models."Privacy Policy · AI Model Training and Your Opt-Out

The Privacy Policy wins over this section wherever the two disagree, and Lovable owns every scrap of usage data to use as it likes. For advertising it shares only pseudonymized identifiers with platforms such as Meta and Google, and it does not hand your Customer Content or your users' data to ad platforms unless you tell it to (Privacy Policy · Advertising and Sharing With Ad Platforms). It keeps personal data only as long as it needs it, then deletes or de-identifies it (Privacy Policy · Data Retention).

Caveats

This explains what the documents say. It does not read the law for you, weigh whether a clause would hold up, or guess what happens if you break the terms. It is not legal advice, and it does not judge Lovable. Every quote is word-for-word from its source: the Terms of Service updated 28 August 2026, the Privacy Policy updated 15 September 2026, and the Platform Rules updated February 2026. The terms were read on 22 September 2026 and the linked Platform Rules and Privacy Policy on 23 September 2026. Both binding documents, named but not part of this page before, are now read and folded in, so the read is no longer partial.
