Privacy
To download VEX-NX you give us your name and verify your email. Here is everything we record, why, and what we never store.
What the download service records
| Event | When | Data stored |
|---|---|---|
| Download sign-up | When you request a download code | Your full name, email address, whether you opted in to release emails, the time, and campaign tags if present |
| Email verification | When you enter the code | The time your email was verified. The code itself is stored only as a one-way hash and deleted after use |
| Downloads per person | When a verified person starts a download | Which release and format you downloaded, and when |
| Download clicked | When you select a download link on this site | A random click ID, release, format, architecture, time, campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) if present, and the referring site’s host name |
| Download started | When the download service begins sending a file | A download session ID, release, format, architecture, channel, time, and campaign tags if present |
| Bytes delivered | While a file is sent | The session ID and the byte ranges sent, used only to tell whether a download finished |
Why we ask for your name and email
- To provide the download and prevent automated abuse of the download service.
- To understand who uses VEX-NX, such as students, instructors, and companies, so we can plan the product.
- To email you about new releases, only if you ticked the optional box. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We do not sell or share your details. The verification email is sent through our email provider, Resend. To see or delete what we hold about you, use the contact page.
What we never store
- Your IP address. For public downloads, the session ID is a keyed hash of your IP address, browser user agent, the file, and the date. The key rotates daily, and the IP address itself is discarded.
- Download links for licensed releases. Signed links are not written to logs or analytics.
- Cookies or trackers. This site sets no cookies and loads no third-party analytics. Tutorial thumbnails load from YouTube’s image servers, and the YouTube player (youtube-nocookie.com) loads only when you press play. After you verify, your browser keeps a signed access token for 30 days so you don’t have to verify again.
Activation and the appliance
VEX-NX licences are offline signed files. The appliance does not contact a licence server, so we do not receive installation or activation data. We will only add an install or activation signal if it is clearly disclosed and opt-in.
Who processes the data
The site and download service run on Cloudflare. Download records are kept in a Cloudflare D1 database that only VEX-NX administrators can read.
