Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

FixGuard is built on the principle of local-first computing. We believe your code is your business, and it should stay that way. This privacy policy explains our approach to data and why we're different from cloud-based tools.

The Short Version

  • Your code never leaves your machine. All processing happens locally.
  • No telemetry by default. We don't track your usage unless you opt in.
  • No cloud uploads. FixGuard doesn't send code to any server.
  • No accounts required. Use FixGuard without signing up for anything.
  • Open source. Audit the code yourself if you want to verify our claims.

What Data We Collect

When Using the CLI (Default)

None. The FixGuard CLI runs entirely on your machine. We have no visibility into what you scan, what issues you find, or what fixes you apply.

When You Opt Into Analytics

If you choose to enable anonymous usage analytics (disabled by default), we may collect:

  • FixGuard version number
  • Operating system type (macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • Command used (e.g., "scan", "rollback")
  • Anonymous session ID

We never collect:

  • Your source code
  • File names or paths
  • Error messages or code snippets
  • Personal information

When Using This Website

This website does not use cookies or tracking scripts. If you submit the feedback form, we store your name, email, and message to respond to your inquiry.

How We Protect Your Data

  • Local processing: All code analysis happens on your machine.
  • No cloud dependencies: FixGuard works fully offline.
  • Git snapshots: Changes are tracked locally using Git.
  • Minimal data: We don't collect what we don't need.

Third-Party Services

FixGuard itself doesn't integrate with third-party analytics or tracking services. The website uses:

  • Google Fonts: For typography (Inter, JetBrains Mono)
  • Formspree: For feedback form submissions (optional)

Both services have their own privacy policies. Formspree submissions are only used to respond to your feedback.

Data Retention

  • CLI usage: No data retained (nothing collected).
  • Feedback submissions: Retained until your inquiry is resolved, then deleted within 90 days.
  • Analytics (if opted in): Aggregated and anonymized; raw data deleted after 30 days.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of any data we hold about you.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Opt out: Disable analytics at any time with fixguard config set analytics false.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@fixgaurd.online.

Terms of Use

FixGuard is provided "as is" under the MIT License. By using FixGuard, you agree to:

  • Use the tool responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws.
  • Not hold FixGuard liable for any damages resulting from use of the software.
  • Review changes before committing to production systems.

The full MIT License is available in our GitHub repository.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in our GitHub releases. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
