Welcome to Dabase! These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dabase application, including the website (https://dabase.dev), any associated desktop applications ("Dabase Link"), and services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is provided by Simon Mathewson ("we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.
1. Description of the Service
Dabase is a database viewer that allows users to connect to and interact with open-source databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. The core functionality of the Service runs locally on your device. For remote databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), a background desktop application, "Dabase Link," is required to facilitate the connection. All database queries and data handling occur on your local machine.
2. Accounts
Using the core features of Dabase does not require an account. However, to save and sync your database connections across devices, you may choose to create a free account.
- Account Creation: You must provide a valid email address and create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
- Connection Data: When you save a database connection to your account, you can choose whether to store associated passwords. If you choose to store them, you can store them encrypted or as plain text. You also have the option not to store passwords at all.
3. Use of AI Features (Gemini API)
Dabase provides an optional feature that integrates with the Google Gemini API to assist with database queries.
- API Key: To use this feature, you must provide your own Google Gemini API key in the application's settings.
- Data Sent to API: When you use the AI feature, your prompt and the schema definitions (e.g., table names, column names, and data types) of your currently connected database are sent to the Gemini API to provide context.
- Important: No database content or records are ever sent to the Gemini API. The data is limited strictly to the structural schema.
- Responsibility: Your use of the Gemini API is subject to Google's own terms of service and privacy policies. You are responsible for all activity associated with your API key.
4. User Responsibilities
You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws. You are solely responsible for the database connections you create and the data you access through the Service.
