What gets counted, by whom, and for how long. Short, because there is not much of it.
This site
Page views, with no cookies.
Vercel Web Analytics counts which pages are read, roughly where from, and on what kind of device. It sets no cookies and builds no profile, so there is nothing to consent to and no banner to dismiss.
Downloads are counted on the server when you select the download link. The count is a number going up. Your address is not stored with it.
Forest, on your machine
One check you cannot turn off, and one report you can.
The version check. Once a day at most, forest asks this site which version is current, so it can tell you when a newer one exists. That request reaches the server the way any web request does, carrying your address. Nothing is stored about it here.
The usage report. Off unless you say yes. /pack asks once when you start a project, and the answer is kept on your own machine. Say no, or never answer, and forest sends nothing at all. Say yes, and it sends one report when a session starts, at most once a day.
Why it is asked at all: the counts show how far projects get and which camp they stop at. That decides what gets built next, instead of a guess.
If you said yes, a report holds 5 things:
- A random number forest made up on your machine, so 2 reports can be told apart. Nothing about you, your computer or your project goes into it
- Which version of forest you are running
- Which camp your map says you are at, as a number from 0, not started, to 6
- Whether you are working alone or with others
- How much time you set aside for research
That is the whole report. Never sent: your project or product name, the person it is for, or anything you typed. The camp number and the research time are read from your map and compass. Apart from those 2, nothing from project/ or app/: no file contents, and no file or folder names.
To stop it, run bash .claude/forest/resupply.sh --usage off, or delete .forest/usage. Both work and neither needs the internet.
How long
| Counts, such as downloads and camps reached | Kept. They are numbers with nobody attached |
| The random project number | Deleted automatically 400 days after its last report |
| Your address | Never stored. Vercel keeps ordinary server logs for a short period, as any host does |
Asking
The data controller is K-D Studio. To ask about or delete your data, contact K-D Studio through kodi.design. There is no account to delete, because there is no account. To have the random number from your copy removed before it expires, include it: it is the id= line in .forest/usage.
