What this guide collects

Reading static pages does not create a FreeCAD account. If Cloudflare or similar host analytics are enabled on the deployment, they follow that provider's controls. Contact messages include whatever you send.

Upstream project

Installing FreeCAD from GitHub, freecad.org, or winget is separate from reading these pages. Models you build stay on hardware you control unless you move the files.

Ad behaviour is described on advertising disclosure. Ads are off unless live config enables them.
