Privacy Policy - bcssov/IronyModManager GitHub Wiki

This document explains what data Irony Mod Manager does—and does not—collect.
Irony is designed with privacy in mind and does not transmit any personal data.

1. Software Privacy

Irony Mod Manager does not collect, store, or transmit:

  • personal information
  • hardware identifiers
  • usage analytics
  • system information
  • mod list data
  • configuration files

Irony only makes network requests when checking for updates, and these requests do not send any personal data.

What is transmitted?

The only information visible to remote servers is your IP address, which is standard for any HTTP request and handled directly by GitHub’s infrastructure.
None of this information is collected by the Irony developer.

Update-related requests

Irony performs only two types of online requests:

  1. Update check (GET request):
https://bcssov.github.io/IronyModManager/appcast.xml
  1. Version download (if you choose to update):
https://github.com/bcssov/IronyModManager/releases/download/v{version}/{filename}

These endpoints are hosted by GitHub.
No additional tracking or telemetry is performed.

Turning off update checks

Automatic update checks can be disabled at any time in:

Options → Update Options → Check for updates at startup

Manual update checks are user-triggered and optional.

2. Website Privacy

The Irony website and documentation pages (GitHub Pages, GitHub Wiki, GitHub Releases) do not collect any information on behalf of the Irony developer.

Any data gathered (such as IP logs or analytics) is collected solely by GitHub, according to GitHub’s own privacy policies.

The Irony developer does not receive, access, or process any of this information.

3. Removing Irony & Clearing Local Data

If you wish to uninstall Irony:

Step 1 — Determine your installation type

Portable Version

Simply delete the folder where you extracted Irony.

Installer Version (Windows)

Open Add/Remove Programs, locate:

Irony Mod Manager v{version}

and choose Uninstall.

Step 2 — Remove local settings & update cache (optional)

Irony stores settings and downloaded updates in:

%AppData%\Mario

Deleting that folder will remove:

  • user settings
  • UI preferences
  • update cache files

This step is optional but recommended for a clean removal.

Step 3 — Remove Irony patch mods (optional)

If you want to remove generated patch mods:

  1. Open your game's mod directory
  2. Delete any folders and .mod descriptors prefixed with:
IronyModManager

This will remove Irony-created patch collections without affecting other mods.

Summary

Irony Mod Manager does not collect or transmit personal data.
The only network actions performed are update checks and downloads from GitHub, both of which expose only standard HTTP request metadata (e.g., IP address) to GitHub—not to the developer.

Removing Irony is straightforward, and all user data can be deleted locally.
