Byblos Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 10, 2026

Overview

Byblos turns webpages into collaborative workspaces. Users can organize webpages, create annotations, discuss pages in context, and share workspaces with collaborators.

No Account Registration

Byblos does not require users to create an account. Byblos does not require real names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, government identification, or social media accounts.

Pseudonymous Identity

Users are represented in Byblos by pseudonymous local user identifiers, display names, and colors. Byblos does not require users to provide real names, email addresses, or account credentials, and Byblos does not attempt to determine a user's real-world identity.

Workspace content may still reveal personal information if users voluntarily include it. For example, because Byblos synchronizes webpage URLs and titles in shared workspaces, a workspace may reveal that a user visited a personal website, social media profile, public repository, or other page connected to their real-world identity.

Information Stored Locally

Byblos stores some information on the user's device, including browser runtime state, tab bindings, focused workspace state, thumbnails, local caches, and temporary browser integration data. This local browser state is not synchronized with collaborators.

Information Synchronized by Byblos

Byblos may synchronize workspace data for backup, use across multiple devices, and collaboration with other users. Shared workspace data is available to users who have the access token for that workspace. Shared workspace data is available to users who have access to that workspace. Chat messages are separately protected using a chat encryption key.

Encrypted Chat Messages

Byblos chat messages are end-to-end encrypted. Cloudflare synchronization infrastructure does not receive chat messages in plaintext.

Thumbnails

Byblos does not synchronize page thumbnails. Thumbnails remain local to the user's device.

Analytics and Telemetry

Byblos does not currently use analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking systems.

Advertising and Sale of Data

Byblos does not display advertisements. Byblos does not sell personal information. Byblos does not use workspace data for advertising.

Third-Party Infrastructure

Byblos uses Cloudflare infrastructure to synchronize shared workspace data between collaborators.
