What your dove account keeps, why, and how to make it go away.

Last updated November 12, 2026.

This page covers your dove account and this website. If anything here is unclear, write to hello@doveide.com.

What we keep

  • Your account: email address, username, and when you signed up and confirmed your email. If you use GitHub to sign in, your GitHub account ID.
  • Your password, only as a salted, slow hash (Argon2id). We can't read it.
  • Sign-ins and devices: for each place you're signed in (this website or the dove app): the device name dove reports, the browser or app version string, the IP address it signed in from and last used, and when. You see them all under Devices.
  • The waitlist: your place in line, who invited you and who you invited, and what you told us you'll build.
  • Your choices, such as asking to be emailed when dove comes to macOS or Linux.
  • A security log of account events (sign-ins, failed sign-ins, password changes, deletion), where your email and IP address are stored only as hashes.

Why

To run your account: sign you in, keep it safe, let you see and sign out your devices, decide who's next on the waitlist, and send you the emails you need (confirming your address, resetting your password, telling you when you're in).

We don't sell anything about you, we don't show ads, and this website has no analytics or tracking cookies. The only cookies we set keep you signed in and protect the sign-in forms, on auth.doveide.com.

Who else is involved

  • Cloudflare serves this website and runs the human check (Turnstile) on sign-up and, after failed attempts, sign-in.
  • Resend delivers our emails.
  • Have I Been Pwned: when you choose a password, we send the first 5 characters of its SHA-1 hash to check it isn't in a known breach. The password itself never leaves our server.
  • GitHub, only if you choose to sign in with it.

How long

Your account data stays until you delete your account. A session is removed 30 days after it ends. Unused email links expire within days and are then deleted.

Deleting your account

Signed in, go to Account → Delete your account. That erases your account, your place on the waitlist, your build note, your devices and any emails still waiting to be sent, right away. The security log keeps its entries about the deletion, with your email and IP address only as hashes. You can also ask at hello@doveide.com.
