Information we may process
We may process ordinary website usage data such as pages viewed, approximate region, browser and device type, referral source, timestamps, IP address, error logs, and security events. If you email us, we receive the address, message, and any details you choose to include.
We do not ask visitors to upload a Tails image, identity document, payment card, or account password. Download links lead to external official pages rather than a file upload or account workflow on this site.

Cookies and analytics
Hosting and analytics providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure sessions, referrals, and technical performance. You can control cookies through browser settings, although hosting and security systems may still process necessary request data.
External links
Our pages link to tails.net and may link to other authoritative technical resources. Those websites have their own privacy policies and control their own downloads, logs, cookies, and services. Review their terms before sharing information.
Retention, sharing, and rights
We retain logs and messages only as long as reasonably needed for operations, security, support, analytics, and legal obligations. We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by hosting, analytics, security, and email providers that help operate the site.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection. Contact [email protected] with enough information to identify the relevant record.
Policy changes and contact
We may update this policy when the site, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected].
