DBeast — Privacy Policy

Privacy policy for the DBeast Android app

Last updated: July 2026

DBeast ("the app") is a database client for Android. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your data. DBeast is an independent project.

Summary

DBeast does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data with the developer or any third party. There are no ads, no analytics, and no user account. Everything you enter stays on your device, except the database traffic you explicitly initiate.

What stays on your device

Connection settings (host, port, database name, username, options) are stored locally on your device.

Passwords and key passphrases are encrypted at rest using the Android Keystore and are never written in plaintext.

Query history, saved scripts, and bookmarks are stored locally.

This data never leaves your device except as described below, and it is removed when you delete a connection or uninstall the app.

Network connections you initiate

DBeast connects only to the database servers you configure, to run your queries. Your credentials are sent to those servers (which you control) to authenticate — they are not sent to the developer.

If you enable SSL/TLS or an SSH tunnel, that traffic is secured accordingly.

If you configure a driver-catalog URL and download a driver pack, the app fetches that file from the URL you provide; downloaded packs are integrity-checked against the catalog's published checksum.

Optional AI assistant (you provide the key)

The AI assistant is off by default. If you choose to use it, you pick an AI provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Moonshot (Kimi), or Zhipu (GLM) — and enter your own API key for that provider, which is stored encrypted on your device (Android Keystore) and is never sent to the developer.

When you ask the assistant to generate, explain or optimize a query, DBeast sends your request directly to the provider you selected, together with the names of your tables and columns (schema) so the SQL fits your database — these features do not send your row data.

One feature is different, and says so on screen: "Chat with this result" sends a sample of the query rows you already fetched (the column names plus up to 50 loaded rows, values truncated) to your selected provider, so the AI can answer questions about that data. The chat screen states exactly what is shared before you send anything, and nothing is sent unless you type a message there.

All AI requests are governed by that provider's privacy terms, not the developer's. If you never enter a key, no AI requests are ever made.

Monitoring

Monitors run on your device. A monitor's query executes against the database you configured and the results stay on your device; alert notifications are generated locally. No monitoring data is sent to the developer.

What we do NOT do

We do not collect analytics or usage data.

We do not show ads or include advertising SDKs.

We do not require an account or sign-in to the app.

We do not sell or share any data with third parties.

Permissions

DBeast requests Internet and Network-state access solely to connect to the database servers, optional driver-catalog URLs, and (only if you enable it) the AI provider you choose. It requests Notifications so that monitors you create can alert you; you can deny this and monitors still run.

Children

DBeast is a developer/utility tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes
