Analytics and privacy

Draught is a beta project by Seb Smith. We use optional usage analytics through PostHog Cloud EU to understand website visits, download clicks and which features people use.

Website

We count page views, page leaves and installer download clicks. Download clicks include the platform, file format and link location; they do not confirm a completed download. Events include the page path, referring site's origin and a temporary session ID. URL queries, fragments and page contents are excluded.

Website analytics are cookieless. PostHog uses the request's IP address, browser user agent and site hostname to calculate a daily hash for visit counts, without saving an analytics identifier in your browser. Events are relayed to PostHog through this site's own domain. We have enabled PostHog's setting to discard client IP data after processing. Session recording is off.

Desktop app

Builds with the usage analytics switch count launches, repository opens, main views, and briefs and reviews. These analytics exclude code, prompts, file paths, repository names and account details. Events carry a random ID created for your install, so we can count how many people use Draught rather than how many times it was opened. The ID is not derived from your device or account, Settings shows it, and switching analytics off deletes it. There is no session recording. PostHog also receives network information when events are sent, with client IP data set to be discarded after processing.

Desktop analytics start on and can be switched off in Settings at any time. Earlier builds without the switch do not send these events.

Website choice

Website usage analytics are on by default unless your browser sends Do Not Track. Switch them off here at any time. This saves only your choice in browser storage.
