+Privacy and Security
+====================
+Xonitic runs on top of the DarkPlaces Engine. When connecting to a server, the client may download and run QuakeC code for the gameplay. The security policies are:
+
+- QC code can't create any symlinks.
+- QC code can read anything below ~/.xonotic/*/ including stuff pointed-to by symlinks (which, as the game can't create any, would have to have been placed by the user). It can't read your private key in ~/.xonotic/*.d0si.
+- QC code can write anything below ~/.xonotic/data including your config.
+- Paths are properly sanitized according to this policy.
+- QC code can send arbitrary data back anywhere (by using the "connect" command).
