From 8ec54760b4a436f908f8dfbf8301e1238ac9d09e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TheFlow Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:45:53 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] fix: Remove analytics contradictions from privacy policy Section 1.2 claimed to collect analytics data and analytics cookies. Section 2 referenced "usage patterns" analysis. Section 4 described analytics data retention. All contradicted Section 6 which correctly stated "No Analytics" since Umami was removed in January 2026. Now consistent throughout: no analytics, no tracking cookies, no usage pattern collection. English locale file cleaned of all Umami references. Updated date to February 10, 2026.
