Last Updated Dec 12 17:03 EST (GMT-5:00)

The AT Protocol is public by design, Everything you post is visible to the entire network.

When you sign up for the MBD PDS, we store:

Email address
Handle
Password (hashed)

What's Public vs Private

PUBLIC:

Your posts
Your likes
Your follows & followers
Your profile (bio, avatar, banner)
Your handle & DID (decentralized identifier)

PRIVATE:

Your email address
Your password

Your email is only used for account password resets, critical service updates, PLC changes, etc.

Everything else is federated across the AT Protocol network. That means:

Other PDS servers can pull your public posts
App Views aggregate and distribute your data
Anyone can build apps that query your public activity
Your content will appear on bsky.app, third-party apps, or anywhere else

Data Sharing & Federation

Your public data is shared with:

AT Protocol relays (e.g., bsky.network)
Other PDS instances when someone follows you
Any client application that queries the network
Search engines and archival services

Your data sticks around as long as your account exists. Delete your account and everything goes away.

These terms will change without notice. By using the MBD PDS you agree to the terms listed above.
