Privacy Policy

Adminium is free, open-source software that you run on your own infrastructure. This policy explains what information the Adminium website at adminium.dev collects — which is very little — and, just as importantly, how the Adminium software itself handles your data. It covers this website and its subdomains; it does not govern the third-party services we link to. If you are in the EU, the EEA, or the UK, see your rights under the GDPR below.

The short version

• There are no accounts, sign-ups, or payments — there is nothing to log in to.
• The website runs no analytics, ad trackers, or third-party tracking cookies.
• The Adminium software runs on your servers and talks to your database directly. We never receive, see, or store your database contents.

Information the website collects

Nothing you hand us

adminium.dev has no forms, newsletters, or accounts, so we do not ask for or collect your name, email address, or any other personal detail.

Your theme preference

If you switch between light and dark mode, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the site can remember it on your next visit. It stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Server logs

The site is served from our own web server. Like most servers, it may keep short-lived, standard access logs — for example an IP address, a browser user-agent, and the page requested — to keep the site secure and reliable. We do not use these logs to profile you or track you across other sites, and we do not sell or share them.

Cookies and tracking

The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies and embeds no third-party analytics. The only thing stored in your browser is the theme preference described above, which uses local storage rather than a cookie. Because there are no non-essential cookies or trackers, the site shows no cookie-consent banner — under the EU ePrivacy rules, there is nothing to consent to.

Your rights in the EU, EEA, and UK

If you live in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, the GDPR and the UK GDPR give you rights over your personal data. adminium.dev has no accounts and runs no analytics, so the only personal data we process is the limited server-log information described above — but these rights still apply to it.

Who is responsible (data controller)

The data controller for adminium.dev is the Adminium project, which operates this website. You can contact us about data protection through the project's GitHub repository — open an issue, or use the repository's security policy for anything private.

What we process, and why

• Server logs — including your IP address, browser user-agent, and the page requested. We process these under our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): keeping the site secure, available, and working correctly. We never use them for advertising or profiling.
• Theme preference — stored locally in your browser and never sent to us, so we do not process it as a controller.

We do not process special categories of personal data, we do not sell your data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

How long we keep it

Server logs are retained only as long as needed for security and reliability, then rotated and deleted. We hold no other personal data about website visitors.

International transfers

The website runs on infrastructure provided by our hosting provider. If, depending on the server's region, handling your request involves processing personal data outside the EEA or the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses — where the law requires them.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the GDPR, you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• erase your data (the "right to be forgotten");
• restrict or object to processing, including processing based on our legitimate interests;
• portability — receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format;
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent (we generally do not).

To exercise any of these, contact us through the GitHub repository above. Because our only visitor data is short-lived server logs tied to an IP address, we may be unable to identify you from that data alone (Article 11 GDPR) and may ask for details to help locate any records.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — your national data-protection authority in the EU or EEA, or the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom.

The Adminium software and your data

This is the part that matters most. Adminium is self-hosted: you run it on your own machine or server, and it connects directly to a database you control.

• Your data stays with you. Adminium reads and writes your database on your own infrastructure. Its contents never pass through us.
• Setup reads schema, not rows. When you connect a database, Adminium introspects table and column metadata to generate the admin UI — schema only, never your rows.
• No phone-home of your data. We do not receive your records, your queries, or your database credentials.

Because you host Adminium yourself, you are the controller of the data you manage with it, and your own practices and applicable law govern that data.

Third-party links and deploy partners

adminium.dev links out to third-party sites, including GitHub, our documentation, and cloud platforms that can host Adminium for you. Those services have their own privacy policies, which we do not control. Some of the deploy links are affiliate links:

Adminium may earn a commission from these platforms; the price you pay is unchanged.

Children

Adminium is a developer tool. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the project evolves. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page.
