Imagine Foxnet like Google, the company: Google provides services like Google Search, Google Docs, and Gmail to its users, just like Foxnet does to its members on a much smaller scale. Google is run by a for-profit corporation, while Foxnet is run by a single individual.</p> https://foxnet.systems/docs/donate/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://foxnet.systems/docs/donate/ <p>While using Foxnet&rsquo;s services is free, maintaining Foxnet&rsquo;s infrastructure is not. The cost is simply offloaded to the project rather than its members. Every cloud resource, piece of hardware, and third-party service used by Foxnet is paid out of pocket.</p> <p>If you have money to spare, you can donate to keep the project running using <strong>Liberapay</strong>.

By proceeding past onboarding, you confirm that all the information you provided is accurate.</p> <h2 id="nature-of-the-service">Nature of the Service</h2> <p>Foxnet operates instances of open source software. Foxnet does not develop this software and is not responsible for its underlying design, security properties, or protocol limitations.</p> <p>Some services operated by Foxnet interact with third-party servers via federation. Content shared in federated channels is guaranteed to be transmitted to and stored by servers outside of Foxnet&rsquo;s control. Foxnet is not responsible for how this data is handled by third-party servers.</p> https://foxnet.systems/docs/privacy/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://foxnet.systems/docs/privacy/ <p>Foxnet is a project operated in Italy by Raul Larosa and is not registered as a business.</p> <p>Foxnet membership is intended for individuals aged sixteen or older, and the data practices described in this document are governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (&ldquo;GDPR&rdquo;). Should the need arise, EU citizens may file a complaint with their local data protection authority.</p> <h2 id="data-collection">Data Collection</h2> <p>Foxnet collects and stores the following information:</p> <ul> <li>Usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, two-factor authentication secrets, and authentication tokens.</li> <li>Display names, avatars, and user-authored profile fields.</li> <li>Message content and metadata, uploaded files, channel membership, presence, and client application metadata.</li> <li>Cryptographic public keys, IP addresses, and timestamped access logs.</li> </ul> <h2 id="data-retention-and-sharing">Data Retention and Sharing</h2> <p>Due to the federated nature of some services hosted by Foxnet, the messages, profile data, and presence information of any member who chooses to interact with these services are guaranteed to be transmitted to a third-party server at some point in time. Foxnet cannot enforce data deletion on external systems, therefore such data is subject to the policies of the receiving servers and may persist indefinitely.</p>
