Privacy Policy
Last updated 29 July 2026
Quadstick: Config Manager has no accounts and no advertising. It runs on your computer and works with the profile files you choose. Nothing about you or your profiles is sold or shared with anyone.
What the app can send, and when
Four things use the network, and each one only after you ask for it.
Google Sheets and Drive. When you paste a Sheets link, the app fetches that sheet and nothing else. When you turn on Google Drive backup, it saves your profiles to your own Drive under your own account.
The community profile list. When you open Community profiles, the app asks quadstick.com for the shared list of game profiles, and Refresh in that window asks again. That is the only time it is fetched: opening the app and using the home screen never ask for it. The request carries nothing about you or your profiles, and the last list is saved on your computer so the window still opens without internet.
Usage data, off unless you turn it on. The first time you open the app it asks. If you say yes, it sends a small event when the app opens, when a profile is opened or saved, when installing to a QuadStick is tried and whether that worked, and when one of the optional features is used. Each event carries your operating system, the app version, and a random install ID. While this is on, those events are sent as they happen. You can turn it off any time in Settings, under Advanced.
Crash reports, one at a time. If the app crashes it saves a report on your computer and sends nothing. The next time you open the app it shows you that report and asks. Nothing leaves your computer unless you press Send.
What is never sent
Your profiles and their contents. File names and file paths. Anything you type, apart from the feedback box, which is only sent when you press Send on it. Your Google account, tokens, sheet IDs, or share links. Your name, your user name, or your computer's name. A crash report carries the type of error and the list of functions it happened in, never the error message, because a message can quote your own data back.
The install ID
A random identifier made once and stored on your computer. It is not derived from anything about you or your machine, and it is only made when you first turn usage data on or press Send on a crash report. It exists so that a count of installs is a real number rather than a count of launches, and so a deletion request can find your data. You can see it and copy it in Settings, under Advanced.
Who processes it
Usage data and crash reports are processed by PostHog on servers in the United States. The reporting library also attaches its own name and version, and tells PostHog not to work out a location from your IP address. Every request carries the library version, the .NET version, your operating system version, and whether the processor is Intel or ARM. If you are outside the United States, this means the data is stored outside your country.
Turning it off
Settings, then Advanced. Turning off usage data stops it immediately. Turning off crash reports also deletes any report waiting on your computer, and so does resetting settings.
Setting the environment variable QSCM_TELEMETRY=0 before the app starts means nothing is ever sent and you are never asked. A crash still writes its report to your own computer, the same as the crash log the app has always kept, and with that variable set nothing ever offers to send it. A build made from source sends nothing at all.
Deleting your data
Open an issue with your install ID and it will be deleted.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages. It collects nothing beyond what is described above, and only after someone has said yes.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page.
