Privacy policy

Playbit software does not track what users do.

When a user signs in to a Playbit installation, that installation is assigned a random identifier called an instance key. The instance key is used to re-establish authentication for that installation.

In practice, the instance key is a cryptographic key. The private key never leaves the user's computer. After successful authentication, Playbit servers store the public instance key and generate an instance certificate for it. The instance certificate is signed by the Playbit certificate authority.

Data stored on Playbit servers

The only user data stored on Playbit servers is:

email address
computer name, to help with revocation so the user can tell which installation is which
public instance key
instance certificate
date and time of account creation
date and time of last authentication or sign-in
