Origami Diagram MakerPrivacy
Origami Diagram Maker (ODM) collects no usage data: no statistics, no tracking, no accounts. This page says what does leave your computer, and where it goes.
Thomas Krak, the author of ODM, is responsible for what is described here. Questions: origamidiagrammaker@gmail.com.
The program
- Update checks, only if you allow them. At its first start ODM asks whether it may check for updates automatically; you can change this at any time in the Help menu. When allowed, it asks GitHub at start-up, at most once a day, whether a newer version exists. Help > Check for updates does the same when you choose it.
- What a check sends. The request goes to GitHub (github.com and its download servers). It contains no information about you, your computer or your work: no version number and no identifier. Like any internet request it shows GitHub your IP address. GitHub handles that under its own privacy statement. The author only sees overall download numbers per release file, never who downloaded.
- Updates are installed only when you agree. The update is then downloaded from GitHub in the same way.
- Everything else stays on your computer. Your projects, crease patterns and exports are never uploaded. ODM sends no crash reports and no telemetry. Links you click (this website, Ko-fi, email) open in your own browser or mail program.
This website
The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. When it serves the pages, GitHub may log technical data such as IP addresses, under its privacy statement. The site itself sets no cookies, uses no analytics and loads nothing from other servers. Downloads come from the releases page on GitHub.
If you write to origamidiagrammaker@gmail.com, your address and message are used only to answer you, and for licence requests, to arrange the licence. They are kept in that mailbox (Gmail) and not shared with anyone else. Ask at any time and they will be deleted.
Donations
Donations go through Ko-fi, under Ko-fi's privacy policy. The author receives what you choose to share with a donation, such as your name and message.
Bug reports
Issues you open on GitHub are public, under GitHub's terms. Don't include personal information you don't want to share, and send private details by email instead.
Your rights
You can ask what personal data the author has about you (in practice: your emails), have it corrected or deleted, and complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
