# PRIVACY

Anvil is a zero-telemetry Dalamud plugin. It does not collect, transmit, or
log any data to external services.

## What Anvil reads

- FFXIV game data via Lumina sheets (recipes, items, actions, buffs,
  conditions, food) — read-only, in-process.
- Plugin state from the local `pluginConfigs/Anvil/` directory (bookmarks,
  user settings, theme JSON).
- Active crafting state via Dalamud's `IGameInteropProvider` hooks (`UseAction`,
  `IsActionHighlighted`) — exclusively to power the in-game UI; nothing is
  persisted from the hook data.

## What Anvil does NOT do

- No network calls (no analytics, no auto-update, no usage statistics).
- No telemetry, no error reporting to any external endpoint.
- No cloud-stored macros or bookmarks. Everything is local-first.
- No third-party tracking SDKs of any kind.

## Optional features that touch other plugins (local IPC only)

- Anvil exposes IPC channels (`Anvil.Theme.*`, `Anvil.Macros.*`,
  `Anvil.Crafting.*`) so other Hellion Forge plugins can read theme state,
  macro lists, and crafting status. Cross-plugin reads happen in-process via
  Dalamud's `ICallGateProvider`; no data leaves the user's machine.
- MacroMate-IPC export, when triggered, sends macro text to the local
  MacroMate plugin via Dalamud-internal IPC.

## Auto-Craft (opt-in)

The Auto-Craft feature is OFF by default. When enabled, it executes crafting
actions automatically via the `UseAction` hook. It does not send any
information about the actions back to the plugin or to any service.
