# Privacy & Telemetry Policy Traven is designed with a strict, privacy-first philosophy. * **No Telemetry:** Traven does not phone home, collect usage statistics, or log any user data. * **No Analytics:** There are no tracking scripts, no Google Analytics, and no marketing pixels included in the library. * **No Cookies:** Traven does not set, read, or require any cookies. By default, the core editor skins (like `skin-light.css` and `skin-starter.css`) load absolutely nothing from external servers and work out-of-the-box using standard system fonts. Some alternative themes (like `skin-colorful.css`) or the pre-built distribution bundle (`dist/traven.css`) may include a default `@import` rule fetching accessible typography from the Google Fonts CDN for ease of deployment. --- ## Going 100% Offline (Self-Hosting Fonts) If you are deploying Traven in a strictly firewalled, offline, or high-privacy environment, you can easily self-host fonts by providing your own font files and updating the skin's `@import` rule. ### Step 1: Create Your Own Font Files Create a `fonts/` directory in your project with the binary font files (`.woff2`) and a stylesheet that defines `@font-face` rules for the font families your skin uses (e.g., Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, Fira Code, Mozilla Headline). ### Step 2: Load Your Local Fonts In the `` of your website or app pages where the editor is used, link your custom stylesheet: ```html ``` ### Step 3: Update the Skin's Import Rule Open the skin's `.css` file (e.g., `skin-light.css`, `skin-dark.css`, `skin-colorful.css`) and replace the `@import url(...Google Fonts...)` line at the top with: ```css @import url('/path/to/your/fonts/fonts.css'); ``` Now, Traven will render using your locally hosted font files, and no external calls will be made to Google Fonts. --- ## Why Google Fonts? Google Fonts loading is **enabled by default** for `skin-light.css`, `skin-dark.css`, and `skin-colorful.css` — they import Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and Fira Code from the Google Fonts CDN via an `@import` at the top of the file. The `skin-starter.css` uses only system fonts and makes no external requests. This default behavior prioritizes **ease of deployment and visual consistency** — developers get accessible, beautiful typography out of the box without needing to configure server assets or copy local binary files. The `skin-editorial.css` and `skin-modern.css` also import their own specialty fonts from Google Fonts. Since these settings are contained entirely within modular CSS theme files, they are completely customizable. You can easily switch to a fully offline setup at any time by providing your own font files and updating the theme's `@import` rule as described in the "Going 100% Offline" section above. --- ## Skins & Privacy Traven ships with eight skins. Of these, **two make zero external network calls** — `skin-starter.css` (the built-in default) and `skin-custom.css` (the parameterized overlay). The remaining six load fonts from Google Fonts or BitMaks by default. None of these external calls transmit user data; they only fetch font files. If your deployment requires 100% offline operation, replace the `@import` rule at the top of any skin file with a local reference to self-hosted font files.
