Privacy Policy

Your Data is Yours

Oreon HQ does not collect telemetry from end-user devices. Our commitment to privacy is absolute; your data remains on your hardware, under your control. We don't track your app usage, your web history, or your files.

Anonymized Metrics

Starting with Oreon 10 and Oreon Lime (R2) (Build 2602) and later, download metrics are aggregate and anonymized. We monitor bandwidth allocation via Cloudflare for operational capacity planning only. No individual IP addresses are permanently stored or associated with specific downloads.

Terms of Service

Use of Oreon

By downloading, installing, or using Oreon, you agree to these terms. Oreon is free and open source software. You may use it for any purpose (personal, educational, or commercial) without paying royalties or asking permission. You may share, modify, and redistribute Oreon in accordance with the licenses of the software it includes and the terms below.

Enterprise and Commercial Offerings

Oreon HQ may offer specific components outside the Oreon OS for enterprise customers, including under separate commercial terms. Such offerings do not change the license or availability of the open source Oreon OS itself.

Open Source and Third-Party Software

Oreon is built from free and open source components. Each component is distributed under its own license (such as the GPL, LGPL, MIT, and others). Your rights and obligations with respect to those components are governed by those licenses. Nothing in these terms restricts the rights granted to you by the applicable open source licenses. Where our own code is included, we license it under terms that are compatible with that ethos: you get the same freedoms to use, study, change, and share.

No Warranty

Oreon is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. This is standard for open source software: we do not guarantee that Oreon will be error-free, secure, or suitable for any particular use. You use it at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so these limitations may not fully apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oreon HQ and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of Oreon (including loss of data, downtime, or business interruption). Our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law.

Trademarks

"Oreon" and the Oreon logo are trademarks of Oreon HQ. You may use the Oreon name and marks to refer to the software and to describe your use of it truthfully. You may not use our trademarks in a way that suggests endorsement, or to brand your own modified distribution, without permission. Independent projects and community efforts that clearly identify themselves as unofficial or community-run are generally fine when they do not mislead users.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page. Continued use of Oreon after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We do not use these terms to strip you of rights you already have under open source licenses.
