Privacy Policy

Introduction

TerraKube (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use our Terraform and Kubernetes validation services.

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We only collect anonymous configuration data for machine learning and analytics purposes, and we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII).

Data Collection

We collect anonymous data from valid (error-free) Terraform configurations and Kubernetes manifests submitted through our validation services. Collection is completely anonymous—we do not store IP addresses, user agents, email addresses, or any other personal identifiers.

Data collection serves the following purposes:

• Machine learning model training
• Data analysis and pattern recognition
• Service improvement and optimization
• Research and development

What Data We Collect

We collect the following types of anonymous data:

• Terraform JSON configurations: Valid Terraform configuration files converted to JSON format
• Kubernetes YAML manifests: Valid Kubernetes manifest files in YAML format
• Validation metadata: Information about validation results, error types (if any), and configuration patterns

We do not collect: Personal information, IP addresses, user agents, email addresses, names, or any other personally identifiable information.

How We Use Your Data

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

• Machine Learning Training: Training and improving ML models to better understand configuration patterns and detect potential issues
• Data Analysis: Analyzing configuration patterns to identify common practices, trends, and potential improvements
• Service Improvement: Using insights from data to enhance our validation services, improve accuracy, and develop new features
• Research: Conducting research on infrastructure-as-code patterns and best practices

Data Storage

Collected data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on secure infrastructure. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption at rest and in transit
• Access controls and authentication
• Regular security audits and monitoring
• Backup and disaster recovery procedures

Data Retention: We retain collected configuration data indefinitely for research and ML training purposes, as the data is anonymous and does not contain personal information. If you have concerns about data retention, please contact us using the information below.
