Privacy policy

This page summarizes how the winTerm application and this website handle data. The canonical application policy is PRIVACY.md in the winTerm repository.

winTerm application privacy

winTerm does not collect general usage analytics. It does not collect or upload command text, terminal output, clipboard content, workspace contents, working-directory paths, shell usage frequency, theme selection, or feature-usage events.

  • Update checks are off. Current winTerm releases contain no enabled update request path, and winTerm does not contact a server on launch.
  • Crash-report upload is off by default and remains opt-in. Local crash metadata is not uploaded unless the user explicitly chooses a reviewed, redacted report.
  • Diagnostic bundles are created only when the user requests one. They exclude terminal output, commands, clipboard data, environment variables, SSH configuration, full settings, raw workspace files, full paths, tokens, email addresses, and connection strings by default, and should be reviewed before sharing.

winTerm stores settings, named workspaces, recovery snapshots, imported themes, app-private font metadata, local diagnostics, and logs inside its own application-data boundary (%LOCALAPPDATA%\winTerm, or the adjacent data directory in portable mode). The uninstaller preserves this user data by default; see the uninstall guide. winTerm does not modify Microsoft Windows Terminal settings or data.

Website privacy

winterm.dev is a static website. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics or session replay, embeds no advertising or tracking scripts, and submits no forms. The site is served through a third-party static hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages); like any web host, the provider may process connection data such as IP addresses in operational logs to run and protect the service. This website has no server code of its own and does not receive such logs as personal profiles.

Site icons are loaded from the official winTerm GitHub repository content service, so requests for those images reach GitHub's servers under GitHub's privacy terms.

Browser developer tools

The developer tools on this site (the JSON formatter, the Unix timestamp converter, and the JWT decoder) run entirely inside your browser. The pages are static files, and the processing logic is delivered as JavaScript that executes locally on your device.

  • Tool input is not uploaded. winterm.dev does not intentionally transmit, log, or store anything you type or paste into a tool — including JSON documents, timestamps, JWT tokens, decoded values, and validation errors. The tools make no network requests with your input.
  • Tool input is not persisted. The tools do not write your input to cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, or the page URL. Closing the tab discards it.
  • The clipboard is only written, never read. Copy buttons place a result on your clipboard; the site never reads clipboard contents.

These statements describe this website's own implementation. Your browser, its extensions, and your operating system are outside this site's control, as on any web page. Requesting a tool page still reaches the static host as an ordinary HTTP request, as described under Website privacy above.
