Data Privacy

Mainsail understands the need for data privacy and it has been designed to only run in your browser locally.

The following table applies to Mainsail when installed locally or accessed remotely at my.mainsail.xyz.

YES	NO
Store static files in browser storage (.html, .js, .css)	‘Telemetry’
Communicate directly with your printer via the Moonraker API	Send or transfer any data externally

Will my data be safe if I use the hosted version?

Accessing my.mainsail.xyz stores the .html, .js and .css files for Mainsail locally in your brower's storage in exactly the same way that an instance running on your local hardware would do. There is no functional difference or concerns between accessing Mainsail locally or in a remotely public hosted instance.

Running Mainsail both locally and remotely in parallel is also possible.
