Last Updated: September 10, 2026

CatBee Technologies ("CatBee Technologies", "CatBee", "we", "us", or "our") is an independent software and open-source project brand operated by its owner/developer.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and disclosed when you visit catbee.in, use our websites, documentation, applications, software, developer tools, NPM packages, open-source projects, or other services and resources operated under the CatBee Technologies name (collectively, the "Services").

We aim to collect and process only the information reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve our Services.

1. Scope​

This Privacy Policy applies to Services operated directly by CatBee Technologies, including, where applicable:

  • Software applications;
  • Desktop applications;
  • Developer tools;
  • NPM packages and libraries;
  • Software downloads;
  • Update services;
  • APIs and hosted services;
  • Open-source projects and related resources; and
  • Support and contact channels operated by CatBee Technologies.

Individual products may have additional privacy notices if their data practices differ from those described here.

This Privacy Policy does not govern services independently operated by third parties, even when CatBee software integrates with or links to those services.

2. Information We May Collect​

The information collected depends on how you use our Services.

2.1 Information You Provide​

You may voluntarily provide information such as:

  • Name;
  • Email address;
  • Username or display name;
  • Information submitted through contact forms;
  • Support requests;
  • Bug reports;
  • Feature requests;
  • Feedback;
  • Communications with us; and
  • Other information you voluntarily provide.

We do not require you to provide personal information simply to browse publicly available documentation or download software unless the particular Service requires it.

2.2 Website Information​

When you visit CatBee websites, standard technical information may be processed, including:

  • IP address;
  • Browser type;
  • Operating system;
  • Device information;
  • Referring website;
  • Pages requested;
  • Approximate access time;
  • Network information; and
  • Basic diagnostic information.

Some of this information may be processed automatically by our hosting, security, CDN, or other infrastructure providers.

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand general website usage and traffic, including information such as page views, referring sources, country or region, operating system, and browser information.

Vercel Web Analytics is designed to provide privacy-friendly analytics without relying on cookies. Vercel states that its Web Analytics can use a hash derived from the incoming request to identify a visitor for analytics purposes and that the generated data is discarded after 24 hours.

We also use Vercel Speed Insights to measure website performance and understand real-user performance characteristics. This may include performance measurements such as Core Web Vitals, page response and loading performance, and other technical performance metrics.

Vercel may process information associated with these services in accordance with its own privacy notice and applicable terms. CatBee Technologies does not control Vercel's privacy practices.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies​

CatBee websites may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • Essential website functionality;
  • Security;
  • Remembering preferences;
  • Performance;
  • Analytics; and
  • Understanding how the website is used.

Our use of Vercel Web Analytics does not currently rely on cookies for its analytics functionality.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will obtain consent before using technologies that require it.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Our documentation may use Algolia DocSearch to provide search functionality.

When you use the search functionality on our documentation websites, your search queries and related technical information may be transmitted to and processed by Algolia to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the search service.

Algolia may process information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

CatBee Technologies does not control the privacy practices of Algolia. You should review Algolia's privacy documentation for information about how it processes data.

2.5 Application and Software Information​

Some CatBee applications may process technical information such as:

  • Application version;
  • Operating-system version;
  • CPU architecture;
  • Device or installation information;
  • Error information;
  • Crash information;
  • Performance information;
  • Diagnostic information;
  • Network information;
  • Feature usage information; and
  • Timestamps.

The information collected depends on the particular application.

Where telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting is implemented, the relevant product may provide additional information about those practices.

2.6 Locally Processed Information​

Some CatBee applications are designed to operate locally on your device.

Depending on the application's functionality, it may be able to access information that you explicitly make available to it, such as:

  • Files;
  • Folders;
  • Development projects;
  • Container environments;
  • Local services;
  • Networks;
  • Configuration files;
  • Environment variables;
  • Credentials; or
  • Other local resources.

The ability of an application to access local information does not mean that CatBee Technologies automatically receives that information.

Information that remains exclusively on your device is not collected by CatBee Technologies merely because the application can access it.

Please refer to the documentation for the specific application for details about network communication and data transmission.

2.7 NPM Packages and Libraries​

CatBee Technologies may publish NPM packages and other software libraries.

Using or installing an NPM package does not, by itself, provide CatBee Technologies with your personal information.

A package may communicate with external services when its documented functionality requires such communication.

Where a package performs network requests, processes personal information, or communicates with a CatBee-operated service, the relevant package documentation may contain additional information.

NPM and other package registries may independently collect information such as download statistics, IP addresses, request information, or other technical data.

Such processing is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant package registry where CatBee Technologies does not control it.

2.8 Open-Source Projects​

CatBee Technologies may operate or contribute to public open-source repositories.

If you submit:

  • Issues;
  • Pull requests;
  • Comments;
  • Discussions;
  • Code contributions;
  • Documentation contributions; or
  • Other public content,

that information may become publicly available.

Public repositories and platforms such as GitHub have their own privacy policies and terms.

You should avoid publishing personal information, passwords, API keys, credentials, or other sensitive information in public repositories or issue trackers.

If you contact us, we may retain your message and the information necessary to respond to you.

This may include your email address, name, message contents, attachments, and related communication records.
