Opensource? #139

Closed 1fexd closed 4 years ago

1fexd commented 4 years ago

Hello,

your plugins are being advertised as "open source", however, I can't find the server code anywhere? What's the use of the plugin being open source when your servercode, where all the data is sent to, is not auditable? How can I be sure that you don't sell/analyze this data? Why can't people self host?

Regards

Here's the data the server collects from plugins: https://wakatime.com/faq#data-collected

You can be sure we don't sell user data because that's a violation of our privacy policy: https://wakatime.com/privacy

We're based in California, so existing privacy laws require we publish how we use your PII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Privacy_Protection_Act

We don't sell any user PII, even scrubbed. We make all revenue from paid subscriptions seen here: https://wakatime.com/pricing

We're open to letting a third party audit the server code if that makes sense.
