Privacy
How ManxOS approaches privacy for the website and the operating system.
Website
This site is a static Hugo site. On this first draft:
- We do not load third-party advertising trackers.
- We do not set analytics cookies by default (Plausible or similar may be added later in a privacy-friendly configuration).
- Contact links use normal email or external community services under their own policies.
When payment processing is enabled on the funding page, card and wallet providers will process data under their own terms; we will update this page before go-live.
Operating system
ManxOS ships with privacy-oriented defaults, including:
- Crash reporting (Apport) disabled by default
- Snap minimized in favour of APT and Flatpak
- Firefox policies that favour tracking protection and reduced telemetry
You can review and change these settings after installation. Transparency is a core principle — see About. How defaults are applied will also be documented in the public source repository when it is published (coming soon).
Contact
For privacy questions about the project, use the community forum when available, or email hello@manxos.org when that mailbox is published. A public issue tracker is coming soon.
This statement is a first-draft summary, not legal advice.
