Privacy Policy

Ugh! Storage is an open-source, self-hosted personal cloud storage solution that runs entirely on hardware you own. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to the Ugh! Storage software and this website.

The core principle is simple: your data is yours. It stays on your Raspberry Pi and never touches our servers because we don't have any.

The Ugh! Storage software does not:

• Send any of your files, metadata, or usage data to external servers
• Include telemetry, analytics, or tracking of any kind
• Phone home, check for updates automatically, or communicate with any remote service
• Collect personal information such as your name, email address, or location
• Store or transmit authentication credentials outside of your local device

All files, thumbnails, database records, and configuration stay on your Raspberry Pi and NVMe SSD. Period.

This promotional website (the site you're reading now) is a static site. It does not use cookies, does not run third-party analytics scripts, and does not collect personal data.

The website loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes requests to Google's servers to download font files. Google's privacy policy applies to those requests.

If you contact us through GitHub Issues, GitHub's privacy policy governs that interaction.

Ugh! Storage is fully open-source. Every line of code is available on GitHub for you to inspect, audit, and modify.

You don't have to take our word for it. Read the source code, verify what data the software accesses, and build it yourself if you want. Transparency isn't a marketing claim — it's the architecture.

The Ugh! Storage software does not integrate with or send data to any third-party cloud services. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, and no external APIs called during normal operation.

Third-party services that are tangentially related:

• GitHub — hosts the source code and issue tracker. Used only for distribution and community support, not by the running software.
• Google Fonts — used by this website (not the software) to load the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces.

Since your data never leaves your hardware, you have complete control over it at all times. You can:

• View, modify, or delete any data on your device
• Uninstall the software and wipe all associated data
• Audit the source code to verify our privacy claims
• Fork and modify the software to meet your own privacy requirements

There is no account to delete, no data export to request, and no privacy settings to configure — because we never had your data in the first place.

If we update this Privacy Policy, changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be noted in the project's GitHub repository.

Since the software is self-hosted and open-source, updates to the privacy policy do not retroactively affect deployed installations. You control what software runs on your hardware.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.
