Privacy Policy for GitTrack

Last updated: May 21, 2025

Welcome to GitTrack! This Privacy Policy explains how GitTrack ("we", "our", or "us"), your Discord bot service, collects, uses, and protects your information when you add our bot to your Discord server and use its features. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data is handled responsibly.

Information We Collect

To provide the core functionality of GitTrack, we collect the following types of information:

  • Discord Server Information:
    • Server ID: To identify your server and store its specific configurations for the bot.
    • Server Name: To help you identify the server in any support interactions or potential future dashboards (though primarily for our internal reference).
  • GitHub Repository Information:
    • Repository URL: To identify the specific GitHub repositories you want to track.
    • Linked Branches: To monitor and send notifications for updates on specific branches within your linked repositories.
  • Usage Data:
    • Messages Sent (Amount): We may track the number of notifications or messages sent by the bot to your server. We do not collect or store the content of your Discord messages or any user-to-user communications. This count helps us monitor bot activity and ensure service stability.

We do not collect personal user data from your Discord server members, such as usernames (beyond what's necessary for command interactions if applicable), email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information not explicitly listed above.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Core Bot Functionality: To enable GitTrack to connect to your specified GitHub repositories, monitor for changes in linked branches, and send relevant notifications to your Discord server.
  • Service Provision and Maintenance: To operate, maintain, and improve the GitTrack service, including troubleshooting issues and ensuring reliable performance.
  • Configuration and Customization: To store your server-specific settings and preferences for the bot's operation.
  • Service Monitoring: To monitor the usage and health of the bot, such as the number of notifications processed, to ensure stability and identify areas for improvement.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We are committed to keeping your information private. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your collected information with any third-party companies or external organizations for their marketing or any other purposes.

The only exceptions to this are:

  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process from a recognized authority. We will strive to notify you of such requests unless prohibited by law.
  • Service Providers (Infrastructure): We may use third-party service providers for hosting and infrastructure (e.g., server hosting). These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and do not have permission to use your data for any purpose other than providing the necessary infrastructure for GitTrack to operate.
  • Protection of Rights: To protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of our users or others, if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary.

Data Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, secure data storage and access controls. However, please note that no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain the information we collect for as long as it is necessary to provide the GitTrack service to your server and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. If you remove GitTrack from your server, or if the service is discontinued, we will take steps to delete your server-specific information within a reasonable timeframe, unless retention is legally required.

Your Rights

As GitTrack primarily processes server-level configuration data and does not store extensive personal user information, your primary right is to manage the bot's access and data by:

  • Modifying the bot's configurations within your Discord server (e.g., changing linked repositories or branches).
  • Removing GitTrack from your Discord server, which will cease further data collection for that server.

If you have specific concerns about data related to your server, please contact us using the details below.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will notify you, for example, by posting a notice in a designated support channel or updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
