Thank you for using Dev Card Showcase. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This policy explains how we handle your data.

1. Information We Collect

Dev Card Showcase is an open-source project that primarily displays static information provided by contributors via GitHub. We do not require account registration or login to view the site.

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Publicly Available Data: Information you voluntarily submit to the repository via Pull Requests (e.g., your name, GitHub profile, photo, and project details) becomes publicly available on this website.
  • Usage Data: We may use basic analytics tools to understand how users interact with our website (e.g., page views, referring sites). This data is anonymized and aggregated.
  • Local Storage: We use your browser's local storage to save your preferences, such as your customized theme (Light/Dark mode) and favorite cards. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use minimal tracking technologies to improve your experience:

  • Essential Cookies: We do not use traditional cookies for tracking. We use Local Storage for functionality (Theme preference, etc.).
  • Third-Party Services: We may link to third-party sites like GitHub, LinkedIn, or Twitter. Please review their privacy policies as we do not control their data practices.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To display your developer profile and projects as part of the community showcase.
  • To improve the functionality and performance of the website.
  • To respond to your feedback, bug reports, or inquiries.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. Since this is an open-source project hosted on GitHub, any contribution you make to the codebase is publicly visible in the repository history.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: View the information we display about you (your profile card).
  • Correction: Update your information by submitting a Pull Request to our repository.
  • Deletion: Request removal of your profile card by opening an issue or submitting a Pull Request to remove your data file.

6. Security

We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. As an open-source project, we rely on GitHub's security infrastructure for the repository.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
