Only a random installation ID, UTC activity date, app version, operating system and notice version are sent to fluxdownload.org while the app is in use, at most once per day. No download links, filenames, contents, name or email are sent. Records are kept for 35 days. The host receives your IP and may log it. Turning sharing off requests deletion. This measures consenting installations, not exact people. Details and contact are in the privacy notice.
Local history and browser handoff
The desktop stores task history and preferences locally. The extension shares selected URLs, titles, format information and permitted origin-scoped session context with the local app. Session headers and protected durable credentials follow the project’s browser-disclosure rules; public task responses omit authentication secrets. Grant site access deliberately and avoid exposing session values in screenshots.
Different tasks contact different services
- HTTP and media downloads contact the selected source servers.
- Torrents contact peers, trackers and discovery systems such as DHT.
- Desktop update checks contact GitHub Releases.
- Enabled Debrid accounts contact the selected provider API.
- Opening a GitHub link from this website follows GitHub’s own privacy terms.
Website preferences are separate
The Flux landing page stores a chosen language locally so it can remember your preference. It does not add advertising trackers or a visitor analytics service. A hosting provider can still process ordinary request information when the site is published. That infrastructure is distinct from the desktop application’s task history.
Practical privacy decisions
Review browser permissions, torrent sharing rules and optional service accounts before enabling them. Use the published privacy disclosure for the current package, and remove cookies, signed links and API keys before reporting a problem publicly. Open source makes implementation inspectable; it does not hide your address from a torrent swarm or stop a source server from seeing the request needed to deliver your file.
