Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tobesee's Privacy Policy. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Tobesee ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our database-free content management platform and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Service.

Core Privacy Principle: Tobesee is designed as a database-free platform that leverages GitHub for content storage. This architectural choice means we do not maintain traditional user databases, and most of your content is stored directly in your GitHub repositories under your control.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use Tobesee, you may provide us with certain information, including:

  • •GitHub Account Information: When you connect your GitHub account, we access your GitHub username, email address, and repository information necessary to provide the Service.
  • •Content Data: Any content you create, upload, or manage through the Service, including articles, resources, images, and metadata.
  • •Authentication Credentials: OAuth tokens and authentication information required to interact with your GitHub repositories on your behalf.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you access the Service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

  • •Log Data: IP address, browser type, browser version, pages visited, time and date of visits, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.
  • •Device Information: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
  • •Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information to improve user experience.

2.3 Third-Party Data

We may receive information about you from third-party services, primarily GitHub. This includes your public GitHub profile information and repository data that you authorize us to access through GitHub's OAuth authentication system.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes, including:

  • ✓To Provide and Maintain the Service: Processing your content, managing your repositories, and delivering core functionality.
  • ✓To Improve User Experience: Analyzing usage patterns to enhance features, functionality, and user interface design.
  • ✓For Authentication and Security: Verifying your identity, preventing fraud, and protecting against unauthorized access.
  • ✓To Communicate With You: Sending service-related notifications, updates, security alerts, and support messages.
  • ✓For Analytics and Development: Monitoring usage statistics, identifying trends, and developing new features and services.
  • ✓To Comply With Legal Obligations: Meeting regulatory requirements and responding to legal processes.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Where Your Data is Stored

Tobesee's unique architecture means that most of your content data is stored directly in your own GitHub repositories, not in our systems. This gives you direct control over your data and leverages GitHub's enterprise-grade infrastructure and security.

  • •Content Storage: Your articles, resources, and media files are stored in GitHub repositories that you own or control.
  • •Session Data: Authentication tokens and session information may be temporarily stored in secure, encrypted cookies.
  • •Analytics Data: Usage logs and analytics may be processed and stored by third-party analytics providers we use.

4.2 Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

  • •Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols
  • •Secure OAuth 2.0 authentication flow with GitHub
  • •Regular security audits and updates
  • •Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

With Your Consent

We may share your information when you explicitly authorize us to do so, such as when you choose to publish content publicly.

With Service Providers

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and authentication services. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

For Legal Compliance

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

In Business Transfers

If Tobesee is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6. Your Data Rights and Choices

  • →Correction: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
