Privacy Policy

Introduction

PG Orbit ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our client-side PostgreSQL database management application.

Important: PG Orbit is designed as a privacy-first application. All your database connections, queries, and data remain on your local device. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your database information or credentials.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike many web applications, PG Orbit does not collect or store:

• Database Credentials: Your database connection strings, passwords, or authentication details
• Database Content: Any data from your PostgreSQL databases
• Query History: SQL queries you execute through our application
• Schema Information: Your database structure, tables, or metadata
• Personal Database Information: Any information contained within your databases

Information We May Collect

Website Analytics (Optional)

When you visit our website (not the application), we may collect:

• Basic Analytics: Page views, browser type, and general usage patterns (anonymized)
• Device Information: General device and browser information for compatibility purposes

Application Usage (Local Only)

The PG Orbit application may store locally on your device:

• Application Preferences: Your UI settings, themes, and configuration preferences
• Connection Profiles: Database connection information (stored locally in your browser/device)
• Query History: Your SQL query history (stored locally for your convenience)

All this information remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

How Your Data Stays Private

Local Storage Only

PG Orbit operates entirely within your browser or local application environment. All data processing happens on your device:

• Database connections are made directly from your device to your database servers
• Query results are processed and displayed locally
• No database information passes through our servers
• Your credentials and data never leave your control

Direct Database Connections

When you connect to a database through PG Orbit:

• The connection is established directly between your device and your database
• We act only as a client-side interface, not as a proxy or intermediary
• All communication is between you and your database servers

Data Security

Local Data Protection

Since all data remains on your device, security depends on:

• Device Security: Your device's security measures and access controls
• Browser Security: Your browser's security features and local storage protection
• Network Security: Your network connection security when connecting to databases

Our Security Measures

For the limited data we do handle (website analytics), we implement:

• Secure Transmission: HTTPS encryption for all website communications
• Minimal Data Collection: We collect only essential analytics data
• Data Anonymization: Personal identifiers are removed from analytics data

Third-Party Services

Analytics Services

We may use privacy-focused analytics services to understand how our website is used. These services:

• Collect only anonymized, aggregated data
• Do not track individual users
• Respect Do Not Track preferences
• Comply with privacy regulations

No Third-Party Access to Your Data

Since your database information never reaches our servers, no third-party services have access to:

• Your database credentials or connections
• Your database content or queries
• Any personal or business data from your databases

Data Retention

Local Data

Data stored locally on your device:

• Remains under your complete control
• Can be deleted by clearing your browser data or uninstalling the application
• Is not backed up or synchronized by us

Website Analytics

Anonymized website analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months for service improvement purposes.

Your Rights and Control

Complete Data Control

Since all your data remains on your device, you have complete control over:

• What data is stored locally
• When to delete or modify local data
• Which databases you connect to
• How long to retain local information

Opting Out

You can opt out of website analytics by:

• Using browser Do Not Track settings
• Disabling cookies for our website
• Using privacy-focused browsers or extensions

Cookies and Local Storage

Website Cookies

Our website may use minimal cookies for:

• Basic functionality and user preferences
• Anonymous analytics (if not opted out)

Application Local Storage

The PG Orbit application uses local browser storage to:

• Save your application preferences and settings
• Store database connection profiles (locally only)
• Cache query history for your convenience

This data never leaves your device and can be cleared through your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal information through our application, this primarily applies to our website analytics.

International Users

Since PG Orbit operates locally on your device, your data doesn't cross international borders through our services. Your database connections are made directly from your location to your chosen database servers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot send direct notifications.

Open Source and Transparency

PG Orbit is committed to transparency. Our application code may be made available for review to verify our privacy claims and ensure that data handling occurs as described in this policy.
