Privacy Policy

How GenesiOS project services, downloads, community links, and local-first tools may handle information.

Last updated: July 7, 2026

This page is provided for transparency and is not legal advice. If GenesiOS is used in a regulated, commercial, enterprise, school, government, or safety-critical setting, review these terms with qualified counsel before relying on them.

01

Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how GenesiOS project websites, downloads, documentation, package resources, community links, and first-party tools may handle information.

GenesiOS is designed around local-first software where possible. Installing the OS, running local AI models, using AI Mode, editing code, or indexing local files does not by itself mean your local data is sent to GenesiOS maintainers.

02

Information you provide

You may choose to provide information when you open GitHub issues, submit pull requests, join forums, comment on blog/community spaces, send reports, publish logs, or otherwise contact the project.

Do not intentionally post passwords, API keys, private tokens, private files, personal documents, model prompts containing sensitive information, or logs that include secrets. Public project platforms may make your submissions visible to others.

03

Website and server data

When you visit GenesiOS websites or download files, hosting providers, CDNs, repository platforms, analytics-free server logs, package mirrors, or security systems may process technical data such as IP address, user agent, request path, timestamp, referrer, status code, and approximate region.

This data is used for security, abuse prevention, debugging, availability, performance, and understanding whether downloads or pages are working. Retention depends on the service provider and operational needs.

04

Downloads, updates, and package repositories

Operating system downloads, package database checks, update requests, release asset downloads, and mirror access may reveal technical metadata to the servers or platforms that provide those files, such as requested package names, IP address, and timing.

GenesiOS may rely on third-party infrastructure for hosting, source control, releases, packages, forums, docs, or mirrors. Those services may have their own privacy practices.

05

Local AI, AI Mode, and developer tools

AI Mode is intended to detect and tune local AI workloads on your machine. GenesiOS does not need to receive your prompts, models, source code, documents, or generated outputs for local AI Mode to function.

If you connect tools such as Genesi Code, local model runners, MCP servers, cloud APIs, Git providers, package registries, databases, or external AI services, those tools may send data according to your configuration and the third party policies that apply to them.

06

Cookies and similar technologies

The GenesiOS marketing site should avoid unnecessary tracking cookies. Some linked services, embedded providers, repository hosts, forums, CDNs, or documentation platforms may use cookies or similar technologies to provide security, login, preferences, analytics, or anti-abuse features.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect community platforms, login flows, or external services.

07

Security and logs

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards may be used to protect project services, but no website, repository, mirror, package system, or community platform can be guaranteed perfectly secure.

If you believe you found a vulnerability or accidentally exposed sensitive data in a public issue, contact the project through official channels as soon as possible and avoid posting additional secrets publicly.

08

Children

GenesiOS is a general-purpose software project and is not directed at children. Community participation, public contributions, or account-based services should be used only with the consent and supervision required by applicable law.

09

Your choices

You can choose not to submit public issues, logs, crash details, screenshots, or community posts. You can also use local-only workflows, avoid optional third-party integrations, and review configuration before connecting external services.

For information held by third-party platforms such as GitHub, forum software, hosting providers, or CDNs, use the privacy controls and request processes offered by those services.

10

Contact and changes

Questions about privacy can be raised through the official GenesiOS GitHub repository or other official project channels linked from the website.

This policy may be updated as GenesiOS services, hosting, apps, or community spaces change. The updated date above shows when this page was last revised.
