Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

⚠️ Work in Progress Platform

BoutaByte is a work-in-progress platform currently in active development. Features, functionality, and availability may change at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee uptime, feature availability, or data persistence during this development phase.

⚠️ No Liability for Data Loss

BoutaByte and its operators cannot be held accountable for any loss of data. Users are responsible for maintaining their own backups of any important data, content, or configurations stored on the platform. We recommend regularly exporting your data.

⚠️ All Sales Are Final

All purchases are final and are considered donations to the development of the BoutaByte platform. These donations support the ongoing development and eventual public release of BB3.0—a version of BoutaByte that others can self-host similar to WordPress, but for websites, webapps, and automations.

ℹ️ What Payment Guarantees

Payment only guarantees the creation of a user account under the tier that was purchased. It does not guarantee any specific features, uptime, support level, or future functionality. Feature availability depends on the current state of platform development.

3. Data Security

Users should not store sensitive personal information or critical business data on the platform without their own backup systems.

4. Third-Party Services

BoutaByte uses third-party services including Supabase for database and authentication, payment processors for transactions, and may integrate with other services. Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing their use of your data.

If you participate in the Contributor Program, content you submit may be displayed publicly on the platform. By submitting content, you grant BoutaByte the right to display, distribute, and promote your contributions. You retain ownership of your original content.

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
