Summary

Adds getopenscreen.com/privacy/, linked from the footer, in English and the seven site locales. OpenAI's plugin directory (shared by ChatGPT and Codex) requires a published privacy policy before the OpenScreen plugin can be submitted there, and the site had none.

The page states, from the code:

  • App: the anonymous daily app_active count (payload, opt-out in the tray, DO_NOT_TRACK), the GitHub update checks, the one-time Hugging Face and GitHub model downloads, legacy Google Fonts, and the user's own AI provider. No crash reporting.
  • MCP server and agent plugin: nothing leaves the machine; the agent's own model provider may receive what the tools return; the skill uploads to GitHub or X only when asked.
  • Website: Cloudflare hosting, cookieless PostHog EU analytics, media.getopenscreen.com and the benchmark data on GitHub Pages.
  • Controller Etienne Lescot, contact privacy@getopenscreen.com (Cloudflare forwarding rule created), retention one year, GDPR rights, CNIL.

website/src/analytics.ts now passes disable_session_recording: true, so "sessions are not recorded" holds whatever the PostHog project's remote settings say.

To check before merging: the one-year retention matches the PostHog project's plan.

Type of change

  • Documentation

Release impact

  • No release note needed

Desktop impact

  • Not platform-specific

Testing

  • npm run build in website/: all eight locales build; /privacy/, /fr/privacy/ … /zh-tw/privacy/ are generated and the footer links to each locale's page.
  • Every translated page keeps the nine English heading anchors.
  • node scripts/i18n.mjs check: the new footer string is translated in every locale.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a privacy policy in English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, covering data handling, analytics, retention, opt-out options, and privacy rights.
    • Added a localized Privacy link to the community section of the website footer.
  • Privacy
    • Disabled session recording for website analytics.

OpenAI's plugin directory requires a published privacy policy, and the
site and the app had none. The page lists everything that leaves the
user's machine, from the code: the app's anonymous daily count, its
other connections, the MCP server, the agent plugin and the website's
cookieless analytics. Linked from the footer, in all eight locales.

The site's PostHog init now disables session recording, so the policy's
statement holds whatever the project's remote settings say.

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c4191

This change publishes a privacy policy and a footer link to it in every locale. The main correction is the opening sentence: it says project data never leaves the device, while a later section says that connected AI providers receive project data. Narrowing that sentence makes the policy consistent. The maintainers should also confirm the PostHog retention setting before publishing, as the author already notes.

- Line 10: Update the local-storage statement in the Spanish privacy page to
clarify that OpenScreen does not store recordings, projects, or transcripts on
its own servers, and disclose that relevant project data is sent to a connected
AI provider when using its features. Keep the surrounding description of account
and cloud-storage behavior accurate.

Review comments at @website/src/pages/privacy.mdx:
- Line 10: Update the opening statement in the privacy page to limit the
on-device claim to OpenScreen-hosted storage, and clarify that AI features may
send selected data to the configured provider. Avoid unqualified claims that
projects and transcripts always stay on the computer or that the app has no
upload feature.
