Privacy Policy

Effective March 23, 2026

The short version

DeployBar collects no data. None. Your API tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain on your device and never leave it. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no fingerprinting, no server-side anything. We don’t know who you are, what repos you monitor, or whether you even launched the app after buying it.

Data we collect

Nothing. DeployBar has no backend. There is no server to send data to. The app does not phone home, does not contain analytics SDKs, and does not track usage in any form. This is not a creative interpretation of “minimal data collection.” It is zero.

API tokens

DeployBar needs API tokens for GitHub and/or Vercel to do its job. Here’s what happens with them:

  • Stored in the macOS Keychain, sandboxed to DeployBar
  • Used exclusively to make API requests to GitHub and Vercel from your Mac
  • Never transmitted to us or any third party
  • Never logged, cached outside the Keychain, or included in any diagnostic output

You can remove your tokens at any time from the Settings window or directly via Keychain Access.

Third-party services

DeployBar makes API requests directly from your device to:

  • GitHub API (api.github.com) — to check workflow run status and discover your active repos
  • Vercel API (api.vercel.com) — to check deployment status
  • GitHub Status (www.githubstatus.com) — to check for GitHub service incidents (unauthenticated, no tokens sent)
  • Vercel Status (www.vercel-status.com) — to check for Vercel service incidents (unauthenticated, no tokens sent)
  • DeployBar Content (roasts.deploybar.app) — to check for updated Billie commentary. This is a static file hosted on Cloudflare. No user data is sent. The request contains no tokens, no identifiers, and no information about your repos or deployments.

All of these are direct connections between your Mac and the respective servers. DeployBar does not proxy, intercept, or relay these requests. No user data is included in status or content checks. Your use of the GitHub and Vercel APIs is subject to GitHub’s and Vercel’s respective privacy policies.

What’s stored on your device

DeployBar stores the following locally using macOS UserDefaults and Keychain:

  • App preferences (poll interval, notification settings, Billie intensity, etc.)
  • Your list of monitored repositories and projects
  • IDs of acknowledged failures (so dismissed failures stay dismissed across restarts)
  • API tokens (Keychain only)
  • A cached copy of Billie’s commentary corpus (a JSON file of jokes, no user data)

All of this stays on your Mac. None of it is synced, uploaded, or accessible to anyone but you.

Children’s privacy

DeployBar is a developer tool. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, let alone children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here. Given that we collect nothing, material changes are unlikely.
