Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Zillowe Foundation, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website, documentation, and tools.

2. Data Collection

Contact & Involvement Forms

When you use our "Contact Us" or "Join Us" forms, we collect information such as your email address, subject, and the content of your message. We use Formspree to process these submissions.

Website & Documentation Analytics

We use PostHog to understand how users interact with our documentation and website. This helps us improve our software and services. PostHog may collect your IP address and general usage patterns.

Additionally, we use Cloudflare Browser Insights to monitor the performance and security of our website. This collects anonymous technical data regarding page load times and network performance.

Note: We do not track you by default on the web. Analytics are only enabled if you provide explicit consent via our cookie banner.

Content Delivery & Security

Our website is served via Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process your IP address and other technical data to protect against DDoS attacks, ensure site security, and optimize content delivery (CDN). This processing is essential for the secure and efficient operation of our website.

Application Telemetry (Zoi)

Our package manager, Zoi, includes an opt-in telemetry system with two separate streams:

• Usage analytics (PostHog): when a command succeeds, Zoi sends an anonymous event such as a package installation or a command run (command name and duration) to our PostHog instance. These events carry only technical details (package names, OS, CPU architecture) and a randomly generated anonymous client ID.
• Error tracking (Sentry): when a command fails, Zoi sends the error message, its cause chain, and a stacktrace to our Sentry instance so we can fix bugs. Crash reports you explicitly approve are also uploaded to Sentry.

We do not collect IP addresses or hostnames through Zoi telemetry. However, error messages and crash backtraces can inadvertently contain local file paths or other values from your machine, so they should be treated as potentially sensitive. Please review a crash report with zoi telemetry crash show before uploading it.

Note: Telemetry in Zoi is disabled by default. You must explicitly opt-in using the application's command-line interface. The lightweight zoi-mini helper never sends telemetry, even when telemetry is enabled for the main Zoi CLI. For full details, see our Telemetry Documentation.

Crash Reports (Zoi)

When Zoi crashes, it saves a crash report locally on your machine (under $XDG_STATE_HOME/zoi/crash, e.g. ~/.local/state/zoi/crash). These files use the .zoicrash extension, are stored in Sentry envelope format, and are never uploaded automatically.

If you have opted-in to telemetry, Zoi will ask you on the next startup whether to upload each pending report. If telemetry is disabled, reports stay local and you are never prompted. Crash reports contain a backtrace and runtime context which may inadvertently include sensitive values, so please review a report with zoi telemetry crash show before uploading it.

Local Application Data

Zoi maintains local logs (audit logs) and configuration files stored in your home directory (~/.zoi). This data is used to track your installation history and preferences locally. This data is never transmitted to Zillowe Foundation and remains entirely under your control.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage to enhance your experience:

• Essential: To remember your cookie preferences and theme settings (Dark/Light mode).
• Analytics: PostHog cookies are used only if you opt-in to help us analyze site traffic.

4. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following processors to provide our services:

• Formspree: For processing form submissions.
• PostHog: For website analytics and application telemetry (opt-in only).
• Sentry: For application error tracking (failed commands) and crash reports you explicitly approve for upload (opt-in only).
• Cloudflare: For content delivery, security (DDoS protection), and performance analytics.

A copy of our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with these processors is available upon request for transparency and compliance purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, such as responding to your inquiries or maintaining our analytics records.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g. GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California), you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete your information. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
