Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 26, 2025
1. Data We Collect
We collect the following information to provide our service:
- Identity: Name, email address, username.
- Content: Projects, descriptions, and code links you upload.
- Interactions: Reviews, comments, and community interactions.
- Technical: Usage data for performance monitoring and security.
2. Public vs Private Data
By using AboutMyProject, you understand and agree that:
- Projects, reviews, comments, and usernames are public by default.
- Email addresses and phone numbers remain private.
- Deleted accounts may still retain public content (reviews/comments) for platform integrity.
- There is no “private mode” for published projects.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to:
- Display your public work and portfolio.
- Maintain platform integrity and reputation systems.
- Detect abuse, fraud, and impersonation.
- Improve platform features based on usage patterns.
We do not sell your personal data.
4. Data Retention
Public content may remain visible even after account deletion. This prevents review manipulation (e.g., deleting an account to wipe negative history) and protects the integrity of the reputation system.
5. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies strictly for:
- Authentication (keeping you logged in).
- Security (CSRF protection).
- Basic analytics to fix bugs.
We do not use invasive ad tracking or sell browsing history.
6. Third-Party Services
We use OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) solely for authentication purposes. We are not responsible for their independent privacy policies or how they handle data outside of our platform.
7. User Responsibility
You are responsible for:
- What you upload.
- What you claim in your projects.
- How you interact with other users.
We do not protect users from honest criticism or public scrutiny of their work.
8. Updates to Privacy Policy
This policy may change as the platform evolves. We will notify users of significant changes, but continued use of the platform implies acceptance of the new terms.
