Privacy policy
Axon is a desktop browser from UnSync Software. This policy explains what Axon stores and transmits when you browse the public web or use the UnSync Network.
- Your encrypted identity and browser data stay on your device.
- Optional product analytics are off by default.
- Analytics never include browsing history, URLs, searches, handles, public keys, media names, or page content.
- Raw IP addresses are not retained for analytics.
Data stored on your device
Axon stores your identity handle and public key, encrypted private identity key, device-unlock configuration, privacy preferences, bookmarks, browsing history, browser session data, caches, and downloaded WebTorrent pieces locally. Your recovery passphrase is used to decrypt your identity but is not saved.
Connections you request
Public websites receive the ordinary information involved in a web connection, including network address, request data, and browser characteristics. UnSync services receive information needed to resolve and retrieve an UnSync address. WebTorrent peers can observe your network address and the torrent swarm in which you participate.
Optional product analytics
If you choose to enable analytics in Axon’s Privacy & data menu, Axon sends its app version, Windows version, calendar day, and aggregate counts of app features used. It also sends short-lived daily and monthly random-derived tokens solely so the service can count unique active installations within those periods. These tokens are not your handle, public key, device identifier, browsing identifier, or an identifier shared with other services.
The analytics service derives only a coarse country code from the connection when available. It does not store raw IP addresses. Analytics are kept as aggregate operational records for up to 90 days. Turning analytics off clears unsent counts and the local analytics secret.
What analytics do not collect
Analytics do not collect browsing history, URLs, search terms, page contents, downloads, media, peer-to-peer activity details, handles, recovery phrases, public keys, private keys, or raw IP addresses.
Sharing and sale
UnSync Software does not sell personal information. Information is disclosed only to providers needed for a feature you request, to peers when you choose peer-to-peer delivery, or when legally required.
Your controls
You can enable or disable analytics from Axon’s Privacy & data menu, lock Axon to remove the decrypted identity key from memory, and remove local Axon data from your device.
Changes and contact
This policy will be updated when Axon’s data practices change. Privacy questions can be sent to dev@unsync.uk.
