Privacy Policy

What data this website collects and what Bowire itself does.

The short version

This website serves marketing pages and documentation. It does not set tracking cookies, does not run analytics, and does not transmit any personal data to third parties beyond what a browser normally sends to fetch a page.

The Bowire application itself is local-first: it runs on your machine, stores everything under ~/.bowire/, and never phones home. See the note below.

What this website stores

  • LocalStorage only: your selected theme (theme = light / dark / auto) so your choice sticks across visits. That’s it. No tracking, no user identifiers, no advertising cookies.
  • No session cookies. No analytics SDK. No tag manager.

Third-party resources loaded by this site

  • Google Fonts — the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces are loaded from fonts.googleapis.com. When your browser fetches them, Google may log the request (IP, User-Agent) per their privacy policy.
  • shields.io and NuGet / GitHub APIs — the hero “Stars / Downloads / Version” badges fetch live values from api.github.com and azuresearch-usnc.nuget.org. These requests originate from your browser, not from our server.

No other third parties are contacted.

Hosting

This site is hosted on <GitHub Pages / your host>. The host records standard HTTP access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested path, User-Agent) for security and operational purposes. We do not access these logs for any analytics use.

Bowire the application

Bowire — the actual tool you install via dotnet tool install -g Kuestenlogik.Bowire.Tool or embed via AddBowire() — is fully local-first:

  • No account required. No login. No registration.
  • No telemetry. No phone-home.
  • All your recordings, environments, and history live under ~/.bowire/ on your own machine.
  • Network traffic is exclusively to the servers you explicitly point Bowire at (via --url or the UI).
  • Source is Apache 2.0 and public on GitHub — feel free to audit.

Your rights (GDPR)

Because this site collects virtually no personal data, there is very little to request. If you believe we do hold personal data about you (e.g., via the hoster’s access logs), you have the right to information, correction, deletion, and restriction of processing under Art. 15–18 GDPR. Contact us at <contact@kuestenlogik.com>.

If you download or install Bowire itself, all data handling happens on your machine under your control.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when hosting or third-party resources change. The latest version is always here.
