So Keybase gathers and stores your IP address, host computer preferences, URL of the site that referred you to the service, how you interacted with the Keybase UI, and how long you were logged in for. Usage information is automatically collected and does not appear to be disable…able.Some potentially less obvious collection, usage, and sharing: If you share data with Twitter, it is bound by Twitter’s privacy policy not Keybase’s. Keybase is not responsible for any information you choose to share with third parties.Data may be shared as a result of a business transaction, such as a corporate restructuring or merger.Data may be shared to comply with the law after receiving a request via a lawful process.The information you put in your profile, including the names of the accounts you choose to verify, are publicly visible. the name you provide, your location, etc., is all stored.

Probably obvious data collection, usage, and sharing: I’m sure a lot of us are guilty of "leafing" through privacy policies and usage agreements however, considering that Keybase’s purpose is to store sensitive information you might want to be aware of the what/where/how they collect and store data. Make sure you read Keybase’s privacy policy.
It’s worth noting that while Keybase does work with GPG and does have a relatively slick CLI, the Keybase CLI does lack equivalents to gpg -list-keys and gpg -export.Ĭurrently Keybase is in alpha – so that means you need an invite or you can join the wait queue. It’s a new feature and definitely worth reading more about here. Keybase has also created their own file system, which encrypts everything in their mounted drive. The idea is that when you meet someone online and want to exchange secure messages or files with them, you will want some way to establish the other party is who they say they are. Keybase is an identity management service allowing users to manage keys, social media accounts, and devices. Specifically, GPG Tools includes a utility that integrates with Apple Mail, a GPG Keychain to manage OpenPGP keys, and a command line tool (which I will be using below).
