Privacy

Everything on ByteTrail can be read without an account. If you sign in, this is what we keep:

Name, email and avatar
from GitHub or Google when you sign in: to show who's signed in and to send the emails you ask for.
Sign-in links
which GitHub or Google account you use, so you can sign in again. We never see your passwords.
Sessions
a cookie that keeps you signed in on this browser, with the browser and IP address it came from.
Follows and mutes
the fields, sectors, companies and tools you follow, to build your feed and digest.
Saved items
what you bookmark, so you can come back to it.
Delivery settings and log
your digest time, time zone, alert level and quiet hours, and which digests were sent when, so none is sent twice.

How long

Until you delete your account. Deleting it on the account page removes all of the above at once; nightly backups that still contain it are gone within 14 days.

What we never do

Sell or share your data, or send it to free-tier AI models. ByteTrail's AI features only ever see public source text. You can download everything we hold about you from the account page at any time.
