Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

DBHelm is a desktop application that runs entirely on your local machine. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Data Collection

DBHelm does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. The application operates fully offline after download. All data — including kubeconfig files, cluster configurations, user accounts, and application settings — is stored locally on your machine in an encrypted SQLite database.

What We Don't Collect

No analytics or telemetry data
No usage tracking or session recording
No personal information sent to our servers
No kubeconfig contents or cluster credentials
No database contents or query results

Local Data Storage

DBHelm stores its data locally:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/DBHelm/

Windows: %APPDATA%/DBHelm/

Linux: ~/.config/DBHelm/

Delete this folder at any time to completely remove all DBHelm data from your machine.

Network Connections

DBHelm only connects to your Kubernetes clusters using the kubeconfig files you provide. No data is sent to DBHelm servers, third-party analytics, or any external endpoints.

Website

The DBHelm website (dbhelm.com) is a static site hosted on Vercel. It does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics. Download links redirect to GitHub Releases.
