1. Introduction
Welcome to QuickInstaller ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a transparent experience. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning information and privacy on our website, quickinstaller.js.org (the "Service"). Our fundamental principle is to avoid collecting any personal data from our users ("you"). This policy details that commitment.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
QuickInstaller is a static, client-side web application. This architectural choice is deliberate to ensure your privacy. All application logic runs directly in your web browser, meaning your activity on our site is not processed or stored on our servers.
We want to be explicitly clear about the types of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive data that we DO NOT collect:
- Personal Details: We do not ask for, receive, or store your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.
- Account Information: The Service does not have a login or account system, so we do not collect usernames, passwords, or any other account credentials.
- Your Application Choices: The specific applications you select to generate an installer script are processed only within your browser. This information is never sent to our servers or any third party.
- Device and Usage Information: We do not collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, hardware details, or any analytics about how you interact with our website.
- Tracking Data: We do not use tracking cookies, web beacons, pixels, or any other persistent tracking technologies to monitor your behavior on our site or across the web.
3. How the Service and Installer Script Work
Understanding the process confirms our privacy-centric approach:
- Script Generation: When you click the "Get Your QuickInstaller" button, a `.bat` (Batch) file is created dynamically using JavaScript that runs exclusively in your browser.
- Script Content: This script contains commands to install Chocolatey, a trusted package manager for Windows, if you don't have it. It then uses Chocolatey to download and install the applications you selected directly from official or community-maintained sources.
- User Responsibility: Once you download the script, its execution is entirely on your local machine. We do not track whether you run the script, which applications are successfully installed, or any errors that may occur. You are responsible for reviewing the script before execution.
4. Third-Party Services and Links
While we do not collect your data, our Service relies on a few essential third-party services to function. These services operate under their own privacy policies.
- GitHub Pages: Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect non-personal, aggregated visitor data (like page views) as part of their hosting service, as described in the GitHub Privacy Statement. We do not have access to or use any of this information in a way that identifies you.
- Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to provide high-quality typography. To serve these fonts, Google may process your IP address. For more details, please see their privacy policy.
- Chocolatey Community Repository: The installer script interacts with the Chocolatey service to download software packages. Their data practices are governed by the Chocolatey Privacy Policy.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect our website, such as using HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to encrypt the connection between your browser and our server. However, since we do not collect or store any of your personal data, the primary security consideration is on your end. We encourage you to inspect the downloaded `.bat` file in a text editor before running it to verify its contents are as expected.
6. Your Rights
Data privacy regulations often grant individuals rights over their personal data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete it. Since QuickInstaller does not collect or hold any of your personal information, these rights are not directly applicable. There is no data to access, correct, or delete. Your use of the site is anonymous by design.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for or directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose any personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
9. Contact Us
Your privacy and trust are paramount to us. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to reach out. The best way to contact us is by opening an issue on our GitHub repository.
