Privacy

elementary OS

We do not collect any data from elementary OS. Your files, settings, and all other personal data remain on-device unless you explicitly share them with a third-party app or service.

Protections

elementary OS comes with built-in privacy protections to help protect your data from others.

Tattle-tale

elementary OS sẽ giúp bạn xem các ứng dụng đang làm gì. Khi có ứng dụng cần dùng micro, chúng tôi sẽ hiện chỉ báo. Khi có ứng dụng tiêu thụ điện nhiều, chúng tôi sẽ nói ở chỉ báo pin.

Quyền hạn

Khi ứng dụng muốn truy cập dữ liệu hay thiết bị của bạn, nó phải luôn hỏi bạn trước. Chúng tôi kiểm duyệt tất cả ứng dụng trong AppCenter để đảm bảo chúng dùng đúng quyền hạn cần thiết—và bạn luôn có thể từ chối những quyền đó trong Cài đặt Hệ thống.

Dọn dẹp

elementary OS tự động dọn dẹp dữ liệu tạm và rác cho bạn. Nó không chỉ giúp bạn có thêm dung lượng để lưu trữ, nó còn ngăn việc dữ liệu nhạy cảm quay lại ảnh hưởng bạn.

Online Accounts

elementary OS optionally integrates with online accounts such as email and calendar providers via System Settings. Data from these providers may be retrieved by your copy of elementary OS and stored locally on your device to be displayed in locally-installed apps such as Mail, Calendar, and Tasks. This data is not sent to elementary or shared with any third party.

What Data is Collected

If you choose to add an online account, your copy of elementary OS may collect and store your name, email address, avatar, email messages, calendar events, contacts, photos, and files from your connected accounts locally on your device. elementary does not collect any of this data.

How Data is Used

Your data is stored locally on your device and never sent to elementary servers or any third parties. It is used to populate your locally-installed apps such as Mail, Calendar, Tasks, Files, and Photos with your data so you can access it.

Sharing Data

elementary OS does not share any data collected from your online accounts. The data is never sent to elementary or third-party servers.
