Security & Privacy

Learn how K8Studio ensures secure, private, and compliant access to your Kubernetes environments.

At K8Studio.io, security and privacy are fundamental. This page outlines how we protect your data and ensure safe usage—even in highly secure air-gapped environments.

🔐 Application Distribution

  • K8Studio is a standalone desktop app that runs entirely on your local machine.
  • There is no need to install any components inside your Kubernetes clusters.
  • Our application is code-signed and verified with on all major platforms (e.g., Windows, macOS).
  • Updates are cryptographically signed and verified before installation.
  • K8Studio is fully compatible with offline, air-gapped, and high-security environments.

🌐 Connectivity & Cluster Access

  • K8Studio uses your existing kubeconfig file—just like kubectl.
  • All communication is encrypted and made directly to your cluster. There is no middleman.
  • The app fully respects Kubernetes RBAC—you only see what you're authorized to.
  • Compatible with VPNs, proxies, and other network-restricted environments.

🧠 Data Handling

  • K8Studio does not modify your kubeconfig or cluster settings.
  • All data retrieved from your cluster is:
    • Stored in memory only
    • Deleted when the app closes
    • Never sent to any server
  • Logs and resource data are streamed directly from your cluster.
  • Shell sessions are handled via kubectl in a dedicated terminal window.

🛡️ Privacy & Minimal Data Collection

  • We do not collect personal information like job titles, company names, location, age, or gender.
  • The only information collected is:
    • Email address and password (for account creation)
    • A connection to our license server to validate your subscription
  • No usage analytics, behavioral tracking, or telemetry of any kind.
