Where your AI project data actually lives

Privacy principle

The database stores what the product needs to operate. The user's project lives in the user's Git repository. That separation is a core part of the product, not an implementation detail.

What Byoi stores

Byoi stores identity, session, billing, user-project links, Git connection state, interface preferences, and encrypted AI keys when added.

When you create an account with email and password, we store only your email, a hashed password, and verification status. When you sign in with GitHub or Google, we receive identity, email, and avatar as authorized by you on those providers, and we never have access to your password on those accounts.

What stays in your Git

Cards, decisions, knowledge, context, prototypes, versioned configuration, and allowed assets live in the user repository. Byoi reads and writes on demand, when you open screens or take actions.

On-demand reads

Byoi does not need to copy the whole project into the database. The app fetches what it needs when you open a screen or take an action, then writes back to Git with commits and conflict detection.

AI and data

When you use an AI action, required content may be sent to the provider configured by you or to the managed provider included in the plan, when applicable. The product should make clear which model was used.

Exit

Canceling or leaving Byoi does not delete your Git repository. Your content remains directly accessible on GitHub or through any Git client authorized by you.
