Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 16, 2026

Privacy by design: Genix is designed to run locally on your machine without requiring an account, Genix cloud services, or telemetry.

Local Operation

Genix runs on your machine. There’s no Genix account, Genix cloud, or telemetry in genix-rebuild, genix-render, or genix-install.

Your configuration and generations stay local to your machine. Genix does not require you to upload your configuration or generations to a Genix server.

Downloads

Downloads use whatever Gentoo mirrors you have configured. Downloads are therefore subject to the policies and practices of those mirrors and the services involved in delivering them.

Genix does not operate a Genix cloud download service or require downloads to pass through Genix infrastructure.

Telemetry and Tracking

Genix does not intentionally include telemetry in genix-rebuild, genix-render, or genix-install.

Genix does not require analytics, usage tracking, or a Genix account to use its local functionality.

Cookies

Genix does not use cookies for tracking, advertising, analytics, or user profiling.

GitHub

Issues and pull requests are handled through GitHub. Information you submit to GitHub is subject to GitHub’s Privacy Policy .

Please do not post passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, API keys, authentication tokens, private configuration files, or other sensitive information in GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, or other public Genix project content.

Third-Party Services

Genix may interact with third-party infrastructure when you download software or dependencies, including Gentoo mirrors. Those services operate under their own policies and may process technical information as part of normal network communication.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the functionality, infrastructure, or privacy practices of Genix change. The date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last updated.
