Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2025
This Website
The GeoStorm website is a static site hosted on Netlify. We prioritize your privacy:
- No cookies. This website does not set any cookies.
- No tracking scripts. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other tracking or analytics tools.
- No data collection. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information through this website.
Netlify may collect standard server access logs (IP addresses, timestamps, pages requested) as part of hosting infrastructure. This is standard CDN behavior and is governed by Netlify's privacy policy.
GeoStorm Software
The GeoStorm software collects minimal, anonymous telemetry to help us understand whether the project is being used. Here's exactly what is collected.
What we collect
Two anonymous events, each with zero properties:
| Event | When it fires |
|---|---|
server_started | Once when the GeoStorm server starts |
run_completed | Once when a monitoring run finishes |
What we do NOT collect
- No IP addresses (explicitly disabled on every request)
- No geolocation (GeoIP is disabled on the PostHog client)
- No project names, URLs, or descriptions
- No search terms or monitoring queries
- No run results, scores, or alert data
- No API keys or credentials
- No personally identifiable information of any kind
The only identifier
The sole identifier is a random UUID generated once and stored locally in your database. It is not tied to any person, organization, email, hostname, or machine fingerprint. Its only purpose is to let PostHog count unique servers.
How to opt out
Set the environment variable NO_TELEMETRY=true to completely disable all analytics. When this flag is set, no PostHog client is created and no events are sent.
# Docker
docker run -e NO_TELEMETRY=true ...
# .env file
NO_TELEMETRY=true Third-party services
Anonymous events are sent to PostHog. No user data goes between your server and PostHog beyond the event name and the random UUID.
