# Overview

> Your Kiste account, sign-in, sessions, API keys, webhooks and alerts, billing, data export and deletion.

Your account owns your Kisten, snapshots, images, environments, published
ports, device keys and API keys. Nothing is shared between accounts.

## Getting an account

Kiste is in early access and accounts are created by invitation. Ask for one
on [kiste.run](https://kiste.run). You sign in to the console at
[console.kiste.run](https://console.kiste.run) with your e-mail address and
password, and the CLI signs in through the console with
`kiste login`.

```bash
kiste whoami       # the account the CLI is signed in to
kiste limits       # your account's limits and what is in use
```

- [Plans and billing](https://docs.kiste.run/account/billing.md): Free during early access; how plans, credit and auto-refill will work.
- [Export your data](https://docs.kiste.run/account/data-export.md): Everything Kiste stores about your account, as one JSON file.
- [Delete your account](https://docs.kiste.run/account/delete-account.md): What deletion removes, how long it takes and what is kept.

## Where your data is

Kisten, their disks and snapshots run on servers in Germany. Off-site
checkpoint copies are stored encrypted in the EU. The [privacy
policy](https://kiste.run/privacy) and the list of
[subprocessors](https://kiste.run/subprocessors) have the details.
