# GenOffice Privacy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

GenOffice opens, edits, and saves documents locally. Document editing does not
upload files to GenOffice. AI features require a network connection and send
requests only when you use them.

## Usage analytics

Usage analytics is enabled by default in packaged official builds, including
the initial app launch before the onboarding notice is shown. Onboarding
explains what is collected and where to turn it off.

You can disable reporting at any time under **Settings → General → Send
anonymous usage statistics**. An explicit opt-out is remembered and stops all
subsequent analytics events.

### Events and parameters

When enabled, the app sends these events:

- `app_launch` — no event-specific parameter
- `file_open` — `ext`, the file extension such as `docx` or `xlsx`
- `file_new` — `kind`, one of `docx`, `xlsx`, `pptx`, `md`, or `pdf`
- `login_click` — no event-specific parameter
- `login_success` — no event-specific parameter

Every event includes:

- `app_version`
- `platform`
- `os_version`
- `ui_lang`
- a per-process `session_id` derived from the process start time
- `engagement_time_msec` with the fixed value `100`

The Google Analytics 4 payload also uses a random install UUID as `client_id`.
Neither identifier is a Genspark account or email address.

## Network information

Events are sent to Google Analytics 4 using the Measurement Protocol over
HTTPS. As the HTTPS recipient, Google necessarily sees the connection's public
IP address and transport metadata, and may use them for coarse geolocation and
security or spam-abuse processing. GenOffice does not add an IP address to the
event payload.

## Data not collected by analytics

GenOffice analytics never sends:

- document content
- file names
- file paths
- Genspark account identity
- email addresses

The analytics metadata is injected only into packaged official builds and is
not part of this repository. Source builds and forks without that packaged
metadata install a no-op tracker and send no usage analytics; all features work
the same.
