1. Purpose. These terms govern the use of PrivateHub (the "Platform"), a self-hosted PrivateHub instance operated by PrivateHub at https://www.privatehub.iaactiva.com. By signing in with an account you accept these terms.
2. Accounts and access. Accounts are created from the sign-up form or by the instance administrator, who may close sign-ups at any time. You must provide truthful data and be of legal age or have the authorisation of your guardian. You are responsible for keeping your credentials, passkeys and API tokens confidential, and for all activity carried out with them. Tell the administrator about any unauthorised access.
3. Categories, trials and terms. The operator may give each account a category (a trial one, for instance) with a set term, and change, extend or withdraw it at any time. When the term ends the account becomes read-only: the content is kept, but nothing can be created or changed. A trial account gives no right to continuity, to keeping the category or to the service remaining free, and its interruption gives rise to no compensation.
4. Badges and verification. Badges, including the verified account badge, are an internal signal from the operator about its own accounts. They are not a certification, endorsement, warranty or legally meaningful identity check, they do not imply any backing of the content that account publishes, and they may be granted or withdrawn at any time without notice.
5. Acceptable use. Use the Platform only for the purposes authorised by the operator. You may not upload, host, publish or distribute through it any unlawful content or content that infringes third-party rights; in particular: works, code, documents, trade marks, images, music or texts for which you do not hold the necessary rights or licence; software or keys to circumvent protection measures; malware; personal data obtained without a lawful basis; material inciting hatred or violence, or depicting the sexual exploitation of minors; or any other content prohibited by applicable law. Nor may you attempt to access other people’s repositories, bypass security controls or interfere with the service.
6. Content and ownership. The code, documents and data you upload remain yours or your organisation's. You grant the operator only the technical permissions needed to store, version, index, display and back them up.
7. You declare you hold the rights. By uploading, publishing or sharing any content you declare and warrant that you are its author or that you hold every licence, permission and authorisation required — including those of your employer or your clients, and the terms of any open-source licences you use — and that its use on the Platform infringes no copyright, trade mark, patent, trade secret, image rights or data protection rules. Plagiarism, unauthorised copying and the distribution of other people’s work are the sole responsibility of whoever uploads them. The operator does not check the authorship, originality or ownership of what is hosted, and is under no obligation to do so.
8. Liability for content: whoever uploads it. The operator merely provides a technical hosting and versioning service, without actual knowledge of the content and with no general duty to monitor it. Liability for what is uploaded, published or downloaded — civil, administrative or criminal — lies solely with the account that did it, including the consequences of infringing intellectual or industrial property rights and of any unlawful activity. If a third party claims or an authority requires it, the operator may identify the account responsible and provide the audit logs, and that account will bear the consequences.
9. Notice and takedown. If you believe something hosted here infringes your rights or is unlawful, write to jhonatanlaur@gmail.com giving the exact address of the content, which right is infringed, your contact details and a good-faith statement that you act as the rights holder or on their behalf. Once the notice is checked, the operator will remove or block access to the content with the diligence the case requires, will inform the account concerned — which may reply — and, where infringements are repeated, will close the account. Such removal implies no admission of liability by the operator.
10. AI features. AI features (documentation, summaries, semantic search, chat) send fragments of the content to the provider configured by each user or by the administrator. Their results are indicative, may contain errors or reproduce third-party content, and must be reviewed before use; whoever incorporates them into their work is answerable for them as for any other content of their own.
11. Signatures, timestamps and evidence. Version signatures, timestamps, signing flows and compliance reports are generated with the instance keys and the configured providers. Their legal value depends on the applicable law and on the operator's configuration.
12. Availability. The operator aims to keep the service available and backed up, but may interrupt, limit or withdraw it for maintenance, updates, incidents or by its own decision, with or without notice. No service level, response time or recovery time is committed to.
13. Service “as is”, without warranties. The Platform, its content and all its features are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, non-infringement and those arising from course of dealing or trade usage are excluded. There is no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, nor that data will be retained, recovered or free from loss, corruption or unauthorised access.
14. Backups. The Platform’s backups are an operational measure of the operator, not a custody service or a guarantee of recovery. You are solely responsible for keeping your own independent copies of your content outside the Platform. The operator is not answerable for the loss, deletion or alteration of data, or for any inability to recover it, whatever the cause.
15. Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither PrivateHub nor its partners, directors, employees, contributors or suppliers shall be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, nor for lost profits, loss of revenue, goodwill, opportunities, data or content, business interruption or the cost of substitute services, even if advised of their possibility. The operator’s total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Platform shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the three months before the event giving rise to it and, where use was free of charge, one hundred (100) units of the operator’s currency. These limits apply to any basis of claim — contractual, tortious, strict or otherwise — and survive even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
16. Public repositories and third-party services. Opening a repository to the public is the decision of the account that does it, which is answerable for everything left in view — including whatever its version history carries along — and for holding the rights to distribute it. The operator may make private or remove any content, and suspend or close the account responsible, where it considers it contrary to these terms or to the law, without this giving rise to any compensation. The links, dependencies, packages and third-party services you use are governed by their own licences and terms, with which it is for you to comply, and fall outside the operator’s responsibility.
17. Indemnity. You undertake to hold PrivateHub and the people who make it up harmless against any claim, demand, proceeding, administrative or criminal penalty, loss or expense — including reasonable legal fees and costs — arising from your content, your use of the Platform or your breach of these terms or of the law. This expressly covers claims for infringement of copyright, trade marks, patents or trade secrets, those arising from plagiarism, and those relating to unlawful content or to the improper processing of personal data. If such a claim reaches the operator, you will take over its defence at your own expense when asked to, or reimburse whatever it has had to pay.
18. About the PrivateHub software. PrivateHub is the software this Platform runs on and is provided “as is”, without any warranty. Its creators do not operate this instance, are not party to the relationship between you and the operator, have no access to the data hosted here and assume no liability of any kind for the use of the service or for any damages that may arise from it.
19. Suspension. The administrator may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms and end active sessions remotely, without prior notice where security or the law require it.
20. Changes. These terms may be updated; the version in force is always the one published on this page, with its update date. Continuing to use the Platform after a change means accepting it; if you do not accept it, stop using the Platform and ask for your account to be closed.
21. Governing law. These terms are governed by the law of the operator’s domicile, and disputes are submitted to the courts of that domicile, save for any venue the law imposes mandatorily.
22. Limits of these exclusions. None of the above excludes or limits liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited: in particular, liability arising from wilful misconduct or gross negligence, liability towards consumers for the rights the law grants them, liability for personal injury, or data protection obligations. If any clause is held void or unenforceable, it will be replaced by the valid one closest to its purpose and the rest will remain in force.
23. Contact. For any question about these terms, write to jhonatanlaur@gmail.com.
1. Lead. The data controller for this instance is PrivateHub, which operates it at https://www.privatehub.iaactiva.com. PrivateHub is self-hosted software: data lives on the operator's infrastructure and is never sent to the makers of PrivateHub.
2. Data we process. Account data (username, email, hashed password, passkeys, second factor and the external provider id if you sign in with Google/Firebase); the date you accepted the terms and the version you were shown; the account category and its term; content you upload (code, documents, versions, comments, chat); and technical data (IP address, browser and device of each session, audit and error logs).
3. What gets published about you. If you publish a repository, anyone can see it without an account, along with your display name, your profile photo if you set one and the badges your account carries. You decide which repositories are opened and can close them again whenever you want; whatever was downloaded or copied while they were open is beyond the operator’s control.
4. Purposes. Providing the service (authenticating you, storing and versioning your content, collaborating), ensuring security (audit, active sessions, alerts), meeting traceability obligations (signatures, timestamps, reports) and sending you the notices you have enabled (email, push, Telegram).
5. Third parties. Data is shared only with the services that the operator or you configure: AI providers (content excerpts), identity providers (Google/Firebase), timestamping authorities, storage mirrors (S3, MongoDB), email, Telegram and push notifications. Without that configuration, no data leaves the instance.
6. Retention. Content is kept for as long as the repository exists or until the configured expiry rules apply. If your account runs out of term, the content stays and the account becomes read-only; the operator may delete accounts that remain inactive or expired, giving notice to the email on record. Audit logs are kept for as long as the operator defines; inactive sessions are deleted after 30 days.
7. Security. Hashed passwords, optional encryption at rest, two-step verification and passkeys, security headers, revocable sessions and encrypted backups. The operator is responsible for serving the instance over HTTPS and safeguarding the keys.
8. Your rights. You can check and change your data in «My account» and close your sessions whenever you want. In «My account → Your data» you have, without asking anyone, the download of everything we keep about you in a ZIP and the deletion of your account. Deleting it removes your profile, your credentials and your private conversations; what you wrote in shared places stays without your name —or is deleted too, if you ask for that— so other people keep their thread, and the audit log is kept with a pseudonym instead of your name, because it is what backs the delivery evidence of approved versions and keeping it answers an obligation of the operator.
9. Cookies. The Platform uses only a technical session cookie and the browser's local storage for preferences (theme, language, dismissed notices). There are no tracking or advertising cookies.
10. Changes and contact. This statement may be updated; the current version is the one published here. To exercise your rights or ask questions, write to jhonatanlaur@gmail.com.
