Privacy Policy

Zero telemetry. Zero tracking. Zero data collection. This isn't a toggle — it's the architecture.

The Short Version

Alfred Linux does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any user data. Period.

There is no telemetry. There is no analytics. There is no phone-home. There is no crash reporting. There is no usage tracking. There are no cookies. There is no fingerprinting. There is no data broker relationship. There never will be.

What Alfred Linux Does NOT Do

No telemetry — No system information is transmitted to any server. Not hardware specs, not usage patterns, not crash reports, not package lists.
No analytics — This website uses zero analytics. No Google Analytics. No Plausible. No Matomo. No tracking pixels. No cookies.
No phone-home — The OS does not contact any GoSiteMe server after installation. Update checks are manual via alfred-update.
No crash reporting — Application crashes stay on your machine. We don't collect or upload dumps.
No user accounts required — You don't need to register anywhere to use Alfred Linux.
No third-party telemetry — Firefox is replaced with Alfred Browser (Tauri + WebKitGTK, zero tracking). Snap is not installed. Ubuntu telemetry daemons are not present.

How to Verify

Don't trust this page. Verify it yourself:

1. Network audit

Boot the live ISO and run:

sudo tcpdump -i any -n -c 100

Watch the traffic. You'll see DHCP, DNS, and nothing else. Zero connections to GoSiteMe, Google, Microsoft, Ubuntu, or any telemetry endpoint.

2. Source code audit

Every build hook is open source on GoForge. Read the 24 hooks line by line. There is no hidden network call.

3. DNS audit

grep -r "telemetry\|analytics\|tracking\|phone.home" /etc/ /usr/share/alfred/

Zero results. Because it doesn't exist.

This Website

alfredlinux.com is a static PHP site. It does not use cookies. It does not use JavaScript analytics. It does not fingerprint browsers. It does not log IP addresses beyond standard Apache access logs (which are used only for abuse detection and are rotated every 14 days).

The only JavaScript on this site is the WebTorrent client on the download page — which connects to public BitTorrent trackers to facilitate peer-to-peer ISO downloads. This is opt-in (you click the download button) and connects to tracker infrastructure, not GoSiteMe servers.

Third-Party Services

Alfred Linux ships with Flatpak + Flathub for the Alfred Store. When you install apps via the Store, your machine connects to Flathub's CDN. Flathub has their own privacy policy. This is the only third-party network connection in the default install, and it only happens when you explicitly install an app.
