FreeCAD Application Privacy

The FreeCAD application does not collect, transmit, share or use any Personal Data.

FreeCAD is community-developed Free Software. The community does not condone the unauthorized usage of private data, so our software does not gather or send personal data.

FreeCAD is able to load or save files to/from remote servers (for some protocols and platforms). If you choose to load or save a remote file, your IP or other private data might be shared as part of the normal connection flow for the given protocol. This is out of our control and it is up to you to decide whether you trust a remote host.

FreeCAD is meant to manipulate CAD files which may contain metadata. It is your responsibility to verify the metadata contained in your files before you share them with others. These files may contain local directory paths which could reveal user names if the user name forms part of the path.

While running and for subsequent runs, FreeCAD uses local persistent storage for logs, configuration files, cache, thumbnails, recently accessed files and other information which may contain private data. This stays on local storage.

FreeCAD is Free Software and therefore may be packaged by other people, who may include additional software or modify the source code. We do not vouch for these third-party packages and cannot tell you what they contain and what they do regarding your privacy. The official packages are explicitly listed on our download page.
