Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-10-15

ox Cloud (deploywithox.com) deploys your repositories onto servers that you own. This page says what ox keeps about you, what it does not keep, who else sees it, and how to use your rights. Questions about any of it: contact@deploywithox.com.

The short version

1. Who is responsible

2. What ox stores about you

What ox does not keep

3. Cookies and tracking

Every cookie on deploywithox.com is needed to sign you in or to keep the site safe, so no consent banner is shown. ox sets two:

Cloudflare, which sits in front of the site (section 4), adds its own security features to every page:

ox has no analytics and no advertising trackers, and loads no third-party scripts or fonts itself: every page, the signed-in dashboard included, gets its fonts and scripts from ox, and the only scripts ox did not write are Cloudflare's, above. There is no tracking of any kind: no analytics or session-replay tools, no error reporting from your browser to ox, no tracking pixels, no ad or marketing cookies, and no open or click tracking in ox's emails. ox counts site visits from Cloudflare's own records of the traffic it carries, which need no script and no cookie. One blog post shows a picture hosted on cdn.hashnode.com, so Hashnode sees your IP address when you open that post. The dashboard's theme and transparency choices are saved with your account. The public site's light or dark theme and a few dashboard display choices (how logs are shown, where you scrolled) stay in your browser's local storage and are not sent to ox.

4. Who else handles the data

Most of the companies below are ox's processors: they handle data only for ox, under a data processing agreement. Where one is in the United States, or may reach the data from there, the safeguard is named, and each link leads to the agreement, which is how you get a copy.

5. Where data goes

The plane is in Germany (DigitalOcean, Frankfurt), so your account data is stored in the EU. ox is run from India, and the person who runs ox reaches it from there. If you are in the EU, you give your data straight to ox, so under the GDPR this is not a transfer, but ox applies the GDPR to all of it. India has no EU adequacy decision, so ox protects the data itself: it reaches the plane only over encrypted connections, only the person who runs ox has access, and the secrets in it are encrypted (section 9).

Some copies leave the EU, each under the safeguard named in section 4: the plane's off-site backups go to the United States (DigitalOcean Spaces, San Francisco), and DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, Resend, Sentry, Dodo Payments and Google (the Gmail inbox that mail to ox reaches) are US companies that may handle what they receive outside the EU. GitHub handles your sign-in and repositories as its own controller.

6. Why ox may use it

India (DPDP Act, 2023): you give ox this data when you sign in, to run your account, and ox uses it only for that and to keep the service secure. You can withdraw by deleting your account (section 8).

EU, EEA and UK (GDPR, UK GDPR):

What you must give: to have an account, ox needs your GitHub identity with a verified email address. Without it, ox cannot create an account or sign you in. Everything else is optional or comes from what you choose to do in ox. To buy ox Pro, Dodo Payments needs your payment details.

ox does not use automated decisions that have legal effects on you.

Your right to object

Where ox relies on a legitimate interest (security, keeping the service running, and knowing whether the product works), you can object at any time, for reasons about your own situation. Email contact@deploywithox.com from the address on your account and say what you object to. ox then stops that use of your data, unless it has compelling reasons that outweigh your interests, or needs it for a legal claim, and tells you which within 30 days. Some of these uses keep the service safe for everyone, such as the audit log and the security check; if ox cannot stop one of them for you, deleting your account ends it.

7. Your rights, and how to use them

Two of them need no email. Get a copy: in the dashboard, Settings, Your data, Download my data, or ox account export. You get one JSON file with your profile, servers, projects, runs, audit log, token names and settings; it holds no secret, and your apps' variables and data are on your own servers, so they are not in it. Three downloads an hour. Delete your account: Settings, Delete account, or ox account delete --confirm <your GitHub login> (section 8). For anything else, such as a correction or an objection, email contact@deploywithox.com from the address on your account, or say which GitHub login is yours. ox answers within 30 days.

For data in your applications, which is on your server, make the request to the app's owner (your customer, if you are their user). ox cannot see it.

8. What happens when you delete things

9. Security

What ox does, and nothing more: the plane's secrets (GitHub tokens, S3 keys, Hugging Face tokens, webhook secrets) are encrypted with a key kept outside the database; personal tokens, server credentials and site passwords are stored only as hashes; each account sees only its own data; the agent on your server connects out to the plane over HTTPS and the plane never connects in to it (it only checks that your sites answer); agent updates need ox's release key as well as the plane's; and every action on your account is audited. Security says more. No system is perfectly secure, and ox is run by one person.

10. If something goes wrong

If ox learns of a breach that affects your personal data, it will email the address on your account without undue delay, saying what happened, what data it touched, and what you should do. ox will also report it to the authorities where the law requires, such as the Data Protection Board of India and CERT-In.

11. Children

ox is for people 18 or older (or the age of majority where you live). ox does not check ages. If ox learns that an account belongs to a minor, it may close the account and delete its data.

12. Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, ox will email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect. The date at the top is the last change.

13. Contact and grievances

For questions, requests and grievances about your data, write to contact@deploywithox.com. Saurav Sharma, who runs ox, reads it and answers. ox acknowledges a grievance within 7 days and answers within 30 days.
