Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 16, 2026

Introduction

hamta ("the Tool") is developed by Andrew Mok. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Tool. hamta is a command-line utility that runs entirely on your machine.

No Data Collection

hamta does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data with the developer. The Tool does not contact any server operated by us.

Local-Only Configuration

hamta reads its configuration from a JSON file at ~/.config/hamta/config.json on your local machine. Proxy URLs, mode settings, and verification preferences are stored locally and never transmitted to us.

Outbound Network Requests

When verification is enabled, hamta sends an HTTP request to ipinfo.io through your configured proxy to check the exit country. Refer to ipinfo.io's privacy policy for how they handle that request. You can disable this by setting verify.enabled to false in your config.

Any other network traffic is generated by the command you choose to wrap with hamta and goes to whichever destination that command targets. hamta does not proxy, intercept, or store these communications on any external server we operate.

This Website

This website may load PostHog analytics if the site operator has configured it. This is a property of the website, not of the hamta tool itself.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
