Privacy Policy

At Better-PaaS, privacy is not a feature—it is the foundation of the project. This Privacy Policy details how data is handled when you use the Better-PaaS software.

1. 100% Self-Hosted & Local Control

Better-PaaS is a self-hosted platform-as-a-service. When you install and run Better-PaaS, all binaries, code containers, sqlite databases, and configurations run entirely on your own hardware or server.

We do not run any central servers, database synchronization services, or tracking relays. Your data never leaves your machine unless you choose to send it elsewhere.

2. Types of Data Handled

The software manages the following credentials and data to perform deployments:

• Git Tokens & Credentials: Used to pull repositories from providers like GitHub or GitLab. These are encrypted locally on your server using AES-256-GCM.
• Application Environment Variables & Secrets: Configuration values for your deployed containers, stored securely on your server.
• Runtime logs and metrics: Log streams and CPU/memory statistics collected from Docker containers, cached or saved locally on your server.

3. Third-Party Services & Integrations

Better-PaaS interfaces with third-party APIs only when configured by you (e.g. pulling code from GitHub, setting up Let's Encrypt for automatic HTTPS, or sending webhook notifications to Slack). These requests are direct between your server and the provider.

4. No Analytics or Telemetry

Better-PaaS does not include telemetry trackers, reporting scripts, or usage metrics collector hooks. We do not gather statistics about what apps you deploy or how much hardware you consume.

5. Contact

If you have questions about the self-hosted security configurations, please open an issue on our GitHub repository or contact us at [email protected].
