Privacy Policy

Last updated May 24, 2026

PubSpace lets you publish HTML pages to a personal space and share them as links. This policy explains what data PubSpace — the website at pubspace.ai and the PubSpace Chrome extension — collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect the minimum needed to run the service, and we never sell your data.

The Chrome extension

The PubSpace extension exists to publish a local HTML file to your account with one click. Specifically:

• When you choose to publish a page, the extension reads the HTML content of the local file you currently have open (a file:// .html or .htm page) and a title suggested from its filename, and sends them to your PubSpace account at pubspace.ai. Reading local files requires Chrome's "Allow access to file URLs" permission, which you grant explicitly.
• It stores your PubSpace API key and space name locally in your browser (Chrome extension storage) so it can publish on your behalf. These are cleared when you log out.
• It runs only on (a) local .html/.htm files you open and (b) your own pubspace.ai dashboard and login pages, in order to connect and disconnect your account.

The extension does not read, track, or transmit any other pages, and it does not collect your browsing history. Only the page you explicitly publish is sent to PubSpace.

Information we collect

• Account information — your email address, your chosen space name (subdomain), and your password. Passwords are stored only as a secure one-way hash; we never store your plaintext password.
• Content you publish — the HTML you publish, its title, an optional per-document password if you set one, and a count of how many times each published link has been viewed.
• Usage events — anonymous, timestamped events such as "a document was viewed" or "a link was clicked," used to understand product usage. These contain no IP addresses, no personal identifiers, and no page contents.
• Server logs — standard request metadata (the request path, response status, timing, the host, and your account ID if you are signed in), kept for reliability and debugging. We never log the contents of your documents.

What we do not collect

We do not collect your browsing history, we do not track you across other websites, and we do not collect geolocation or IP-based analytics. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not use it for advertising. Data obtained through the Chrome extension is used solely to provide the publishing feature you requested, consistent with the Chrome Web Store Limited Use requirements.

How we use your information

• To operate the service: store and serve the documents you publish, run your account, and process logins and password resets.
• To keep the service reliable and secure: diagnose errors, monitor uptime, and prevent abuse.
• To understand aggregate usage so we can improve PubSpace.

Sharing and third parties

We share data only with the infrastructure providers needed to run PubSpace, and only so they can provide their service to us:

• Fly.io — hosts the application and database and captures our server logs.
• Resend — sends transactional email such as password-reset messages.

We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. We may disclose information if required by law.

Sharing you control

A published document is unlisted by default — only people you give the link to can find it, and we ask search engines not to index it. You can add a password to any document, and you can delete a document at any time.

Data retention and deletion

Documents you publish remain until you delete them. When you delete a document it is removed from serving immediately and permanently purged from our database shortly afterward. To delete your account and all associated data, email us at the address below and we will remove it.

Security

All traffic is served over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed, password-reset tokens are stored hashed with a short expiry, and database backups are taken on the hosting platform. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.

Children

PubSpace is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the service.
