Privacy

Last updated · May 19, 2026

Short version: Seabed doesn't collect any data about you. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising IDs, no third-party SDKs of any kind. The only network traffic the app makes is to api.digitalocean.com, on your behalf, using a token you paste in.

What Seabed stores on your device

  • Your DigitalOcean Personal Access Token, in the iOS Keychain. The Keychain is not synced to iCloud by default; if you have Keychain sync turned on, it follows whatever Apple does with the rest of your Keychain data.
  • SSH private keys you generate in-app, also in the Keychain, behind Face ID / Touch ID.
  • A local cache of your droplets, volumes, snapshots, keys, and recent actions — so the app feels fast and works briefly when you're offline. Stored in the app's sandboxed container, cleared on sign-out.
  • App preferences like theme, polling rate, and confirmation thresholds.

What Seabed sends anywhere

HTTPS requests to api.digitalocean.com, authenticated with your token. That's it. Your token, your droplet list, your IPs, your billing data — none of it is sent to any server I run, because there is no server I run.

Third-party services

DigitalOcean is the only third party Seabed talks to, and only because you've connected to them. Their privacy policy applies to the data they handle on their side. Seabed has no analytics provider, no error tracker, no ad network, no SDK that phones home.

Children

Seabed isn't designed for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect any data — from anyone.

Changes

If this ever changes — for example, if a future version adds a feature that requires server-side work — the new behavior will be opt-in, and this page will be updated before the new version ships.
