Privacy

The app collects nothing about you and neither does this website. The rest of this page gives the details and explains how to check them yourself.

The app

OrgKit runs on your own machine and the local network you are on.

No account. There is nothing to sign up for. The only identity in the app is the display name you type in.
No analytics or telemetry. The app includes no third-party code that sends anything off your device. It does not count usage or report crashes.
No automatic update check. The app never contacts this site or anywhere else on its own. The only exception is the update check you start yourself. It fetches one small file from this site (/version.json: the newest version number and its date) and compares it with the version you are running. The request carries nothing about you or your boards beyond what any web request carries. Nothing is stored at either end. You download updates yourself.
No fonts, scripts or images fetched at runtime. Everything the app displays is bundled inside it.

OrgKit's only network traffic is between the host and the devices in the room that have joined it. It listens on ports 3883 and 8080 for that and accepts connections from your local network only.

Your data stays where you put it. Boards, notes and uploaded media are files in one directory on the host machine. The help page says where. Nothing is copied to us because we run no server for it to go to. We could not read your boards if we wanted to.

How to verify this. The source of every current build is on the source page under the GPL. A search for network addresses across the source turns up four: loopback, 0.0.0.0, orgkit.local and orgk.it. The last appears only in the update check described above. We run that search again before every release.

This website

No cookies. The site sets none.
No analytics. No Google Analytics, Plausible, tracking pixels or third-party embeds.
No JavaScript. These pages are HTML and CSS. Fonts and images are served from this domain.
Server logs. The web server keeps ordinary request logs (IP address, time, page requested, user agent). They are used to keep the site running. They are not combined with anything else, sold or shared.

Children

OrgKit is a general-purpose tool with no online service or accounts. It is not aimed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If any of this stops being true, this page will be updated before that release ships.
