Privacy

Last updated: 4 May 2026

OpenYabby is open-source software. The website at openyabby.com exists to document the project and let people join a small waitlist for product news. This page explains what data the site touches and what it doesn't.

What we collect

If you submit your email through the waitlist form, we store one thing: your email address, with the date you signed up and whether you confirmed it. That's it. No name, no IP fingerprint, no profile.

Your email is held in two places: a small file on our server (waitlist.json) and a local SQLite database alongside it. Both live on a single VPS we operate ourselves. The data is not sold, not shared, not enriched, and not handed to advertising networks. We don't have any.

How the waitlist email works

We use Resend as a transactional email vendor to send you the confirmation message and an eventual welcome email. Resend sees your address only because it has to deliver the message. Their privacy policy applies to that hop.

Every waitlist email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it marks your record as unsubscribed and stops further sends. If you'd rather have your record fully deleted, email idov.mamane@gmail.com with the subject "OpenYabby data deletion" and we'll wipe it within a few days.

What we do NOT collect

• No analytics. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no Posthog, nothing. The site loads the same for everyone and we don't know who showed up.
• No third-party trackers. No ad pixels, no Facebook/Meta integrations, no LinkedIn beacons.
• No cookies for tracking. The site doesn't set any.
• No telemetry from the OpenYabby app itself. The open-source software you install on your Mac doesn't phone home. Read the source if you don't believe us.

Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, and basic decency)

You can ask us at any time to: confirm whether we hold your data, send you a copy of it, correct it, or delete it. The easiest way is the email above.

Changes

If this notice ever changes, the updated date at the top will move. Previous wording is not archived publicly.
