# Privacy

The microManager app has no account and no telemetry, and your code, chats and settings stay on your computer. This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics; it stores the email addresses people give it for release announcements, and keeps request logs and hashed IP addresses only for a few days or less, to run the site and stop abuse.

Updated 9 November 2026

## What does the app keep, and where?

Repositories, workspaces, chats and settings are stored in a database on your computer: in `~/Library/Application Support/microManager` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\microManager` on Windows and `~/.config/microManager` on Linux. microManager has no server that receives them.

## What does the app send over the network?

- **Update checks** to `micromanager.win` when it starts and every six hours, and the download of a new version. Like any web request, these reveal your IP address to the site’s host.
- **Your agents** talk to their own providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXSI (formerly xAI), Google and others) exactly as they do outside microManager, under those providers’ terms and privacy policies.
- **Naming chats and workspaces.** When Claude Code is installed and **Name workspaces and chats from the first message** is on in Settings → General (it is by default), the first message of each new chat, up to 4,000 characters, goes through your `claude` command to Anthropic’s Haiku model, which suggests the chat’s title and a new workspace’s name. That happens whichever agent the chat runs. Turn the setting off and names come from the message on your computer instead.
- **git and the GitHub CLI** talk to your remotes and to GitHub: microManager fetches the branch a new workspace starts from, looks up your GitHub username for branch names, and checks pull requests and their checks, besides what you fetch, push and merge.

There is no telemetry, crash reporting or analytics in the app.

## Does the Conductor import send anything?

No. It reads Conductor’s local database and settings file on your Mac, read-only (Conductor’s desktop app only ever ran on Macs), and copies what it needs into microManager’s local database.

## What does this website collect?

- **No cookies, analytics or third-party scripts.** Fonts and every other file come from this site.
- **Hosting.** micromanager.win runs on Cloudflare, which processes request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. Requests handled by our code, and any errors, are logged in Cloudflare’s Workers Logs, which can include request details such as IP address and browser and are kept for a few days.
- **Release announcements.** If you sign up, we store your email address, the page you signed up on and the time, and send one email with a link to confirm the address is yours. Only once you follow it do we use the address, and then only to tell you about new versions. We never sell or share it.
- **Abuse protection.** To limit sign-ups per network, we keep a salted hash of the requesting IP address (of its /64 network for IPv6), never the address itself, and delete it after about a day.

## How do I get my email address removed?

Email <privacy@micromanager.win> from that address and we will delete it.

## Will this page change?

If what we collect changes, this page changes first, with a new date at the top.
