Privacy Policy
How GitRooms thinks about account information, rooms, and product use.
Who we are
GitRooms is operated by its maintainer, who is the data controller for the information described here. For any privacy request, contact privacy@gitrooms.com.
Minimum age
GitRooms is not intended for people under 16. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
Information we collect
When you sign in with GitHub we store your public GitHub profile (username, display name, avatar, and GitHub user id) and your verified email address so we can deliver notifications. We also store the rooms, messages, reactions, polls, and notification settings you create, and we briefly process your network address and basic request logs to apply rate limits and prevent abuse.
How we use it
We use this information to run rooms, render badges and community pages, send the notifications you opt into, keep the service secure, and respond to support and abuse reports. We do not sell personal information and do not use it for advertising.
Legal basis (EU/EEA)
For users in the EU/EEA, we process your account and content to provide the service you asked for (contract), process request logs and abuse signals under our legitimate interest in keeping GitRooms secure, and send optional notifications based on your settings (consent).
Service providers
We rely on a small set of processors to run GitRooms: Vercel (hosting and edge network); Supabase (database, authentication, and realtime); GitHub (sign-in and public repository and profile data); Resend, using Amazon SES, for outgoing transactional email; and ImprovMX for receiving email sent to our addresses. Vercel Web Analytics is deployed and may be enabled to measure aggregate traffic. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy terms.
What is public
GitRooms is a public, GitHub-native community product. Your profile, the rooms you join, your membership, and the messages you post in public rooms are visible to anyone who can view that room. Do not post anything you would not want to be public.
Data retention
We keep your account data until you delete your account or ask us to remove it. Repository event records, delivered notifications, and messages you delete are purged within 90 days. Messages you authored are kept for room continuity but are anonymized if you delete your account.
Your rights
You can export a full copy of your data and permanently delete your account at any time from your Settings page, or by writing to privacy@gitrooms.com. Deleting your account removes your profile, memberships, reactions, and settings, and anonymizes your authored messages. EU/EEA users may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.
