BITOSDT PRIVACY OVERVIEW | UPDATED 01 APRIL 2026

Privacy, Website Analytics, and Forum Data

BitOSDT is a 100% free Windows deployment project. This page explains what the public website, forum, analytics setup, download pages, and support contact path can process when you browse, register, or request a download.

1) Scope

This page covers the public BitOSDT website at bitosdt.com, the hosted forum, and website-side services directly linked from this site.

  • Public marketing, documentation, changelog, and download pages
  • Forum registration, sign-in, and discussion posting
  • Website analytics and theme preference storage
  • Support contact through support@bitosdt.com

2) Data the Website Can Process

When you browse the website or request download metadata, the site infrastructure can process basic request information needed to deliver the pages and protect the service.

  • Standard web request data such as IP address, user agent, request path, referrer, and timestamp
  • Download status requests used to show the current release or experimental build
  • Theme preference saved in local browser storage so light or dark mode persists between visits

3) Analytics and Cookies

The public website currently loads Google Analytics for aggregate traffic measurement. The site also stores a local theme value so the interface can remember your preferred color mode.

  • Google Analytics can measure page views, device/browser information, and general traffic patterns
  • Local storage key bitosdt-theme keeps your light or dark mode preference
  • Forum sign-in can set session cookies required to keep you authenticated

4) Forum Accounts and Posts

If you register or post on the BitOSDT forum, the forum software can store the data needed to operate a discussion community.

  • Username, email address, password hash, and account timestamps
  • Discussion posts, replies, profile data, and moderation history
  • Session and anti-abuse data needed to keep the forum available and secure

5) How the Data Is Used

BitOSDT uses this information to operate the website, make downloads available, maintain the forum, understand basic traffic patterns, and respond to support requests.

  • Serve pages, downloads, changelog data, and forum discussions
  • Investigate errors, abuse, and security issues
  • Measure broad product interest so documentation and release pages can be improved
BitOSDT does not present this website as a paid SaaS service, and this page is not intended to suggest that browsing data is sold as a product.

6) Sharing and Third Parties

Some website functions depend on external providers or software components.

  • Google Analytics processes analytics data when page measurement is enabled
  • Forum software and hosting infrastructure process account and discussion data needed to run the community
  • Package downloads are served from the BitOSDT website path referenced on the download page

7) Your Choices

You can limit what is shared with the public website by choosing how you use the site.

  • Browse documentation without creating a forum account
  • Clear or block local storage if you do not want the theme preference retained
  • Avoid posting support or environment details publicly on the forum if they are sensitive
  • Contact support@bitosdt.com if you need help with a privacy-related request
