Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

Bedrud is open-source video meeting software. When you self-host it, your data never touches our servers. This policy covers the bedrud.org website and the public demo instance. If you self-host Bedrud, you control your own data.

What We Collect

On the website (bedrud.org): nothing. No cookies, no trackers, no analytics. On the public demo: your display name and IP address while you're connected. That's it. No email, no phone, no personal details. When you self-host Bedrud, all data stays on your infrastructure. We never see it.

How We Use Data

Demo connection data routes your video and audio in real-time. It's not logged, stored, or analyzed. We don't build user profiles, serve targeted ads, or sell data. Ever.

Data Storage

The public demo doesn't persist data. Disconnect and your session is gone - no recordings, no chat history. Self-hosted instances store data in SQLite on your server. You choose the backup strategy and retention policy. We have no access.

Third-Party Services

None. Bedrud makes zero outbound requests after download. No analytics, no crash reporters, no telemetry. The website loads no third-party scripts. Verify it yourself - the source is on GitHub.

Cookies & Local Storage

The website uses localStorage for your theme preference (dark/light) and language selection. That's it. No tracking cookies, no advertising IDs. The demo uses a session cookie that expires when you close the tab.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to access, correct, or delete from us. Close the demo tab and your session data is already gone. Self-hosted users have full control over all data on their servers - export, backup, delete, whatever you need.

Changes to This Policy

We'll update this page if our data practices change. Given that we collect almost nothing, changes are unlikely. The 'last updated' date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
