4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Self-Hosted Nature

Log Bull is a self-hosted application. This means that:

  • All log data and application data are stored on your own infrastructure

  • Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
  • Secure authentication mechanisms
  • Access controls and user permission management
  • Regular security updates and patches

5. Google OAuth and Third-Party Services

When you use Google OAuth to sign in:

  • Your authentication is handled directly by Google
  • We only receive the information you authorize Google to share with us
  • We do not store your Google password
  • Google's Privacy Policy also applies to your use of Google OAuth: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Log Bull's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
