Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 2025 (effective until further notice)

Introduction:

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information collected through the Legends website and related services. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information. By using the Legends website or software, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect:

  • Usage Data: When you visit gitlegends.com, our servers may automatically log basic information – such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamp. This data is used in aggregate form to analyze site traffic and ensure security.
  • Cookies and Analytics: We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to remember preferences and to collect analytics information. Specifically, we may use third-party analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics) that set cookies to track page views and usage patterns. These cookies help us improve the site’s content and user experience. (See our Cookie Policy below for more details.)
  • Contact Information Provided by You: If you contact us via email or through any contact forms, we will collect the information you voluntarily provide (such as your name, email address, and the content of your message). This information is used solely to respond to your inquiries or provide support.

How We Use Your Information:

  • To operate and maintain the website (e.g. to troubleshoot performance issues or monitor for security threats).
  • To analyze how users use the site, so we can improve content, layout, and overall user experience.
  • To respond to your communications: If you reach out with questions, feedback, or support needs, we will use your contact information to communicate with you.
  • No Commercial Marketing: We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We also will not use your information for unsolicited marketing communications unless you have explicitly subscribed to such updates.

Cookies & Tracking:

We use a minimal number of cookies on our site. Some cookies are essential for site functionality (for example, to remember your preferences or to enable certain features). We also use analytics cookies to gather anonymous statistics about site usage. These analytics cookies (set by third-party providers like Google Analytics) collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, and how they arrived at our site. This data helps us understand user engagement but does not directly identify you. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings (see the Cookie Policy for guidance on opting out). We honor “Do Not Track” signals to the extent feasible and do not use cookies to serve personalized ads.

Data Sharing and Disclosure:

We treat your personal information as confidential. We do not share personal data with third parties except in the following situations:

  • Service Providers: We may use third-party services for hosting the website (for example, GitHub Pages or similar), or for analytics. These providers may process log data or analytics data on our behalf. They are obligated to handle data in accordance with privacy laws and only for the purposes we specify.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law or court order – or to protect our rights, users, or the public – we may disclose information to the appropriate authorities. For instance, if we must comply with a legal obligation or respond to a lawful request by public authorities, we will do so.
  • Open Source Transparency: Legends is an open-source project. The software’s source code and development process are public. However, this does not mean your personal data (as a user of the website or software) is public. We never publish personal data of users in our source code or repository. If you contribute to the project (e.g. via GitHub), your contributions and profile information may be publicly visible on the repository by nature of how open source works, but that is controlled by your GitHub account settings, not by our website.

Data Security:

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data. This includes using secure protocols (HTTPS) for encryption of data in transit and limiting access to systems that store personal information. While we strive to protect your information, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously review and enhance our security practices to mitigate risks.

Data Retention:

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described:

  • Web server logs and analytics data are typically retained for a limited period (e.g. a few months) to allow us to review site performance and then are automatically deleted or anonymized.
  • Contact emails or support inquiries will be kept for as long as needed to address your request and for our records, unless you request earlier deletion.
  • If you request deletion of your personal data, we will comply, provided we are not required by law to retain it. Backup copies of data might persist for a short period but will be purged according to our backup retention schedules.

Your Rights:

Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, if you are in the European Union under GDPR or in California under CCPA), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

  • Right of Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right of Rectification: If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct it.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data. (For example, if you have previously contacted us and want your email removed from our records, we will honor such requests.)
  • Right to Object/Restrict Processing: You may ask us to stop or limit the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances – for instance, you can opt out of analytics tracking via cookie controls.
  • Right to Data Portability: Where applicable, you can request a copy of data you provided to us in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@gitlegends.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We will respond to requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Children’s Privacy:

The Legends website and software are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. We will promptly delete such information from our records.

Changes to This Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this section. We encourage you to review this page periodically. If changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on the site or a notification via email if appropriate). Your continued use of the site after any modifications to the policy will signify your acceptance of the changes.
