Privacy & Telemetry
Portabase is self-hosted: your databases, backups, credentials, and configuration stay inside your infrastructure. By default, the server sends anonymous, aggregated usage metrics once a day. These metrics help us understand how Portabase is used in production and prioritize improvements without exposing your data, secrets, or configuration.
