Cookies and Tracking Usage

Cookies

We uses cookies to make interactions with our service easy and meaningful. Cookies are small text files that websites often store on computer hard drives or mobile devices of visitors.

If you disable your browser or device's ability to accept these cookies, you will not be able to log in or use our services.

Tracking and Analytics

Out of the box, Gitea doesn't use third-party analytics. In case when we opt in to their usage, we do that to help us evaluate our Users' use of Théo LUDWIG - Gitea Instance , compile statistical reports on activity, and improve our content and Website performance. We only use these third-party analytics providers on certain areas of our Website, and all of them have signed data protection agreements with us that limit the type of User Personal Information they can collect and the purpose for which they can process the information. In addition, we may also deploy internal analytics software to provide similar functionality.

Théo LUDWIG - Gitea Instance responds to browser DNT signals and follows the W3C standard for responding to DNT signals .

Repository Contents

Our employees do not access private repositories unless required to for security purposes, for support, to maintain integrity of the Service, or to comply with our legal obligations.

If your repository is public, anyone may view its contents. If you include private, confidential or Sensitive Personal Information, such as email addresses or passwords, in your public repository, that information may be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.

Public Information

Many of our services and feature are public-facing. If your content is public-facing, third parties may access and use it in compliance with our Terms of Service, such as by viewing your profile or repositories or pulling data via our API. We do not sell that content; it is yours. However, we do allow third parties, such as research organizations or archives, to compile public-facing Théo LUDWIG - Gitea Instance information.

Our Global Privacy Practices

We store and process the information that we collect in the (country/state where Gitea is deployed) in accordance with this Privacy Statement though our service providers may store and process data outside the (country/state where Gitea is deployed).

We provide a high standard of privacy protection—as described in this Privacy Statement—to all our users around the world, regardless of their country of origin or location, and we are proud of the levels of notice, choice, accountability, security, data integrity, access, and recourse we provide. We work hard to comply with the applicable data privacy laws wherever we do business, working with our Data Protection Officer as part of a cross-functional team that oversees our privacy compliance efforts. Additionally, if our vendors or affiliates have access to User Personal Information, they must sign agreements that require them to comply with our privacy policies and with applicable data privacy laws.

In particular:

How We Communicate with You?

We use your email address to communicate with you, if you've said that's okay, and only for the reasons you've said that's okay. For example, if you contact our support with a request, we respond to you via email. You have a lot of control over how your email address is used and shared on and through Théo LUDWIG - Gitea Instance . You may manage your communication preferences in your user profile.

By design, the Git version control system associates many actions with a User's email address, such as commit messages. We are not able to change many aspects of the Git system. If you would like your email address to remain private, even when you're commenting on public repositories, you can create a private email address in your user profile. You should also update your local Git configuration to use your private email address. This will not change how we contact you, but it will affect how others see you.

Depending on your email settings, Théo LUDWIG - Gitea Instance may occasionally send notification emails about changes in a repository you're watching, new features, requests for feedback, important policy changes, or to offer customer support. We also send marketing emails, based on your choices and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. There's an "unsubscribe" link located at the bottom of each of the marketing emails we send you. Note that you can opt out of any communications with us, except the important ones (like from our support and system emails).

Our emails may contain a pixel tag, which is a small, clear image that can tell us whether or not you have opened an email and what your IP address is. We use this pixel tag to make our email more effective for you and to make sure we're not sending you unwanted email.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
