Privacy Policy
Effective date: February 12, 2026 · Last updated: February 12, 2026
CH-UI ("we", "our", "us") is developed by Caio Ricciuti. This privacy policy explains how we handle data when you use CH-UI software.
What CH-UI Does NOT Collect
CH-UI is a self-hosted application. When you run CH-UI on your own infrastructure:
- No telemetry is sent to us or any third party
- No usage data leaves your server
- No analytics are collected
- No cookies are set by us (only session cookies for your own login)
- Your queries, data, and database contents never leave your infrastructure
Data Stored Locally
CH-UI stores the following data in a local SQLite database on your server:
- User sessions — login tokens for authenticated access
- Saved queries — queries you choose to save
- Dashboard configurations — layout and panel settings (Pro)
- Scheduled jobs — query schedules you create (Pro)
- Connection settings — ClickHouse connection details (encrypted)
- License information — your license key if you activate Pro
- Application settings — preferences and configuration
All data is stored in the SQLite file specified by database_path in your config (default: ./data/ch-ui.db). You have full control over this data.
Pro License Activation
When you activate a Pro license, the license file is stored locally in your database. No information is sent to external servers during activation — the license is validated offline using cryptographic signatures.
Cloud-Hosted Version
If you use our cloud-hosted version at cloud.ch-ui.com:
- We store your account information (email, name) for authentication
- We store your ClickHouse connection metadata (not your database contents)
- We do not access, read, or store your ClickHouse data
- Tunnel connections are end-to-end between your agent and your browser session
Third-Party Services
The self-hosted CH-UI binary does not communicate with any third-party services except:
- Your ClickHouse server — as configured by you
- OpenAI API — only if you configure the Brain AI feature (Pro) with your own API key
Data Deletion
Since all data is stored locally:
- Delete the SQLite database file to remove all application data
- Uninstall the binary to fully remove CH-UI
