FreeBSD's Privacy Policy
The FreeBSD Project recognizes that your privacy and the
protection of your personal information is important to you and is
committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes
the measures taken by us to protect your privacy in connection with
your use of www.FreeBSD.org and docs.FreeBSD.org (our "Sites").
This policy does not cover mirrors of this content on other hosts
(the "Mirrors") or other FreeBSD-related services in the
FreeBSD.org domain ("Affiliated Sites").
This policy was last modified on October 14, 2022.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY USING THIS SITE,
YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY.
What
information is collected on our Sites:
We collect weblogs such as your Internet Protocol ("IP")
address, browser type and operating system information. No personal
data is kept in logs for more than 30 days. The foregoing
information is collectively referred to below as "Your Usage
Data."
We store information such as your email address, name, and
organization or company ("Personally Identifiable Information")
only if you decide to send us such information by submitting a
FreeBSD bug or problem report ("PR"), subscribing to one of the
FreeBSD mailing lists, posting content to our Site forums or
sending a review to Phabricator. The FreeBSD Project allows
unlimited distribution of that content. Information submitted in
those reports and lists, including your Personally Identifiable
Information, is considered public and will be accessible to anyone
on the web. Such information is not only stored on servers
belonging to the FreeBSD Foundation, but it is also stored on other
servers that mirror the content of our Sites. The FreeBSD
Foundation has no control over the use of that information,
including your Personally Identifiable Information.

How the information
collected is used:
The FreeBSD Project takes the privacy of our users and members
very seriously. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise provide your
personally identifiable information to any third parties except as
stated in this document. We will not associate any data gathered
from your use of our Sites with any personally identifying
information.
The FreeBSD Project will not use or share your personal
information in a manner that differs from what is described in this
Privacy Policy without your prior consent.
How your information is
protected:
The FreeBSD Project strictly protects the security of the
personal information you provide. Personal information we collect
is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access, and
we carefully protect this information from loss or misuse, and from
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
When your
information may be disclosed:
The FreeBSD Project may disclose personal information if
required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such
action is necessary to:
conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal
process served on The FreeBSD Project or the Sites;
protect and defend the rights or property of The FreeBSD
Project; or
act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety of users
of The FreeBSD Project, its websites, or the public.
Anonymized aggregate traffic data about website visits may be
shared for marketing or research purposes.
The FreeBSD Project does not share un-anonymised data with
anyone.
Updates to this privacy
policy:
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we
will also revise the "last modified" date at the top of the Privacy
Policy. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy
to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal
information we collect. Your continued use of the service
constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any
updates.

all of its assets are acquired, your information may be one of the
transferred assets.

In an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may
include third party links on our sites. These linked sites have
separate and independent privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only

of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the
integrity of our sites and welcome any feedback about these linked
sites (including if a specific link does not work).
