+## 🔒 Privacy
+
+Pulse is designed with privacy in mind:
+
+*   **No Data Collection:** The application does not collect, store, or transmit any personal user data or telemetry information to external servers.
+*   **Local Communication:** All communication occurs directly between the Pulse application (running in your environment, e.g., Docker container or LXC) and your configured Proxmox VE or Proxmox Backup Server endpoints.
+*   **Credential Handling:** Proxmox credentials (API tokens or username/password) are used solely for authenticating with your Proxmox API and are not logged or sent elsewhere.
