Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 11, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Chocolatey Scripts ("we", "us", or "our"), a project by CodeCraftedApps, handles information in connection with the scripts and tools available through this website and the associated GitHub repository at github.com/DJCastle/chocolateyScripts.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy applies specifically to Chocolatey Scripts and is separate from the privacy policies of other CodeCraftedApps projects.

Information We Do Not Collect

Chocolatey Scripts is a collection of open-source PowerShell scripts that run entirely on your local machine. We want to be clear about what we do not do:

  • We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data
  • We do not include analytics, tracking pixels, or telemetry in our scripts
  • We do not access, read, or transmit your system information
  • We do not collect information about which packages you install or update
  • We do not have access to any data generated by the scripts on your machine

What the Scripts Do Locally

When you run our scripts on your computer, they may:

  • Create log files in your local %USERPROFILE%\Logs\ directory. These logs stay on your machine and are never transmitted to us.
  • Create backup files in your local %USERPROFILE%\Documents\ChocolateyBackups\ directory. These backups contain your installed package list and remain on your machine.
  • Check network status (WiFi name, power status) to determine whether to proceed with updates. This information is used locally and never transmitted.
  • Interact with Chocolatey to install, update, or remove packages. These interactions are between your machine and the Chocolatey package repository.

Optional Email Notifications

The auto-update script includes an optional email notification feature. If you choose to enable this feature:

  • You provide your own email address and SMTP credentials in the configuration file
  • Emails are sent directly from your machine using your SMTP server
  • We never see, store, or have access to your email credentials or notification content
  • This feature is disabled by default

This Website

This website (chocolateyscripts.codecraftedapps.com) is hosted on GitHub Pages. When you visit this website:

  • GitHub Pages may collect standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) in accordance with GitHub's Privacy Statement
  • Google Fonts are loaded from Google's CDN, which may involve Google collecting basic connection data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy
  • jsDelivr CDN is used to load the scripts manifest, which may involve jsDelivr collecting basic connection data

Third-Party Services

Our scripts interact with third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

We encourage you to review these policies, as the data practices of these services are outside our control.

Children's Privacy

Chocolatey Scripts is a technical tool intended for system administrators and developers. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we do not collect contact information, we cannot notify you of changes directly. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
