Open Paging Server includes an optional analytics feature. When enabled, the system will send a report at 05:00 every day with general anonymous information and may send any errors.
Data collected
By enabling (opting-in), you consent to the following information being sent and stored:
- Basic hardware information: Model, CPU, RAM, Storage Amount
- Basic software information: Opreating System & Kernel versions
- Your Public IP address (byproduct)
- Error/crash logs
If you don't consent to this information being sent, you shall have and keep analytics turned off. You can disable or enable analytics under System Settings > General, or during install. No analytic information is sent to the Open Paging Server project if analytics is disabled unless you have a commerical support contract. Open Paging Server reaches out to the analytics server to get it's own public IP address when needed, but does not store any information.
Purpose & use of data collected
Data collected is used for the following purposes:
- Development of Open Paging Server (fixing bugs, new features)
- General improvement of the Open Paging Server Project
- Hardware research (which hardware Open Paging Server is used on)
- General public stats (For example, the server count on the openpagingserver.org homepage)
- During contact or support with a staff member (you can share your analytics ID so a staff member can pull information about your system)
Restrictions of uses of data collected
Open Paging Server & project staff shall not sell, release, or use data for personal uses or use outside the Open Paging Server project.

Data is stored securely on our own private rented servers. We don't store any user data through third-party "SaaS providers".
