# Privacy

TunnelX is designed as a local desktop app.

## Data Stored Locally

The app may store profiles, selected apps, include/exclude destinations, connection history, and logs on the user's Windows machine, typically under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\TunnelX` or the app directory depending on the feature.

## Network Data

TunnelX handles local routing and packet metadata to decide what should use the tunnel. It does not intentionally send analytics or telemetry to the maintainer.

## Logs

Logs can contain hostnames, IP addresses, process names, ports, and connection state. Users should sanitize logs before posting them publicly.

## Donations

Donation links open external services such as PayPal. Those services have their own privacy policies.

Crypto wallet addresses are public receiving addresses. On-chain transactions may be publicly visible and can connect the project identity with wallet activity. For stronger maintainer privacy, use wallets created specifically for TunnelX.
