Privacy Policy.

Last updated 2 October 2026. This policy covers the Piye web app, desktop IDE, and related cloud services operated by PIYE Technologies.

Who we are

PIYE Technologies (“Piye”, “we”, “us”) provides Project OS: a local-first workspace where non-technical founders and developers work on the same project. That includes Low Code (Comm-Link, Blueprint, Preview) and Developer (editor, terminal, Git, simulators, deploy, and operations).

01

Information we collect

  • Account data: email, display name, first and last name if you provide them, verification status.
  • Authentication: OAuth identifiers from Google or GitHub when you choose those sign-in methods. We do not receive your provider password.
  • Project metadata: project names, membership, invites, plan tier, and usage counters needed to run the service.
  • Billing: Stripe customer ID, subscription status, plan, invoices, and promotion redemptions. Stripe processes cards. We never store full card numbers, CVC, or raw bank details.
  • Support: messages you send to support, privacy, or feature-request forms.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser or app version, timestamps, and security logs used to keep the service safe.

The desktop IDE is local-first. Source on your disk, workspace files under .piye/, and secrets in the OS keychain stay on your machine unless you connect a cloud provider, enable Piye Cloud, or send a prompt that includes that material.

02

How we use it

  • Create and secure your account
  • Provide Low Code, Developer, deploy, and operations features
  • Process subscriptions, VAT, invoices, and coupons through Stripe
  • Send transactional email (verification, password, billing)
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
  • Respond to support and privacy requests

We do not sell personal data. We do not use your projects to train public models.

03

Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland we rely on:

  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): providing the service you asked for, including the IDE, web app, and paid plans.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): securing the platform, preventing abuse, and improving reliability. We balance these against your rights.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): optional analytics and preference cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time in Cookie Preferences.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): tax, accounting, and responses to lawful requests. Stripe retains billing records where the law requires it.
04

Stripe and payments

Paid plans are billed by Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates, acting as a payment processor. When you start checkout we send Stripe the plan, your account email, and any promo code. Stripe collects payment method details on its hosted pages. Their processing is described in the Stripe Privacy Policy and Stripe Services Agreement.

If you build an app that takes payments, Piye can help you connect Stripe Connect for that app. Those customer payments are your relationship with Stripe, not Piye subscription billing.

05

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a short list of cookies and local storage:

  • Essential: session, CSRF, and security. Always on.
  • Preferences: UI choices you ask us to remember.
  • Analytics: aggregated usage, only with consent.
  • Functional: optional features you enable.

Manage optional cookies at piye.dev/cookies. We do not run third-party advertising cookies.

06

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may request:

  • access and a copy of your data (portability)
  • correction of inaccurate data
  • erasure, subject to legal retention (for example tax records)
  • restriction or objection to certain processing
  • withdrawal of consent without affecting prior lawful use

Email privacy@piye.dev. We may need to verify the account. EU and UK users may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority. Ireland’s Data Protection Commission is a typical lead contact for EU matters if no local branch applies.

07

Retention, transfers, and security

  • Account and billing data while the account is active
  • Security logs for a short period
  • Stripe invoices for the period tax law requires

Data may be processed in the EU and in other regions where our processors operate (including Stripe). Where GDPR requires it we use Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision. You can deploy customer apps to EU-resident hosts (for example Hetzner, OVH, or Scaleway) from the desktop Deploy panel; that is your project’s residency, not automatically Piye’s account database.

We hash passwords, separate billing from product logic, and limit staff access. No system is perfect. Report incidents to security@piye.dev.

08

Children, changes, contact

Piye is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.

We may update this policy. Material changes will appear here and, when appropriate, by email.
