Privacy Policy

Last updated August 2026

Scope

This policy covers two separate things: the marketing/documentation website you're reading right now (openota.xyz), and OpenOTA Cloud (api.openota.xyz and the dashboard), the hosted version of the open-source OpenOTA server. If you self-host OpenOTA instead, none of the Cloud section below applies — your server, your data, your policy to write.

What this website collects

Analytics (Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity) run only if the site operator has configured them — both are entirely optional integrations gated behind environment variables. When enabled, they collect standard, anonymized usage data (pages visited, approximate location from IP, device/browser type) the same way most websites do. This site does not run its own first-party tracking beyond that.

What OpenOTA Cloud collects

The dashboard and API store exactly what's needed to run the service:

  • Your account email and a salted, hashed password (scrypt) — never the plaintext password.
  • Projects you create, and their release history (bundle versions, checksums, timestamps).
  • API keys you generate — shown once at creation, stored server-side only as a hash, never in recoverable form.
  • Anonymous device check-ins for projects you own (a generated device ID, platform, app version, and runtime version) — used to power the "devices on this version" counts in the dashboard, not tied to any personal identity.

What OpenOTA Cloud does not do

  • Read the contents of your app's JS bundles beyond what's needed to verify and serve them.
  • Sell or share your data with third parties.
  • Track end users of your app beyond the anonymous device check-in described above.

Your control

Delete a project from the dashboard and its releases, API keys, and device check-in history are removed. Delete your account and everything tied to it goes with it. Because OpenOTA is open source, you can also verify all of this directly by reading the server code, or move to self-hosting at any time — same API, your own infrastructure.
