DistroNexus Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-02-16 Product: DistroNexus desktop application for Windows.

Overview​

DistroNexus is a local-first Windows application for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions and applying development templates. Most operations are executed on the user device.

Information We Process​

DistroNexus may process the following categories of data:

  • Application settings and preferences stored locally under AppData\\Roaming\\DistroNexus.
  • Local cache files (for example catalog and template metadata) used to improve startup and offline usability.
  • User-triggered operational data required to perform WSL management actions (for example instance names and command parameters).
  • Command output and logs generated by local execution flows.

How We Use Information​

We use this information only to:

  • Provide requested WSL management and template automation features.
  • Store user preferences and improve local app usability.
  • Display execution progress, status, and diagnostics.

Local Processing and Device Access​

  • DistroNexus invokes local Windows and WSL tooling (including wsl.exe) when the user starts related actions.
  • These actions are performed on-device and are not designed to require user account sign-in.

Network Access​

  • DistroNexus may access network resources to download catalog/template content from configured endpoints.
  • Network access depends on user configuration and feature usage.
  • DistroNexus does not provide in-app purchases.

Data Sharing​

  • DistroNexus does not intentionally sell personal data.
  • DistroNexus does not intentionally transmit user personal content to third parties, except when explicitly required by user-configured endpoints or user-initiated operations.

Data Retention and Deletion​

  • Local settings, cache, and logs remain on the device until changed or removed by the user.
  • Users can remove local data by deleting app data files or uninstalling the application.

Children​

DistroNexus is a developer utility and is not directed to children.

Security​

We take reasonable measures in application design to reduce unnecessary data exposure. However, no software system can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy​

This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes should be reflected by updating the effective date.
