Privacy Policy
This is placeholder content — replace it with your own privacy policy before publishing your site.
What you’re legally required to disclose depends on your country, on whether you have visitors in the EU/UK (GDPR), California (CCPA), etc., and on which third-party services you actually enable. There’s no one-size-fits-all text — reusing someone else’s privacy policy without adapting it to what your site really does is a bad idea.
Things to check for this theme specifically, since each one has its own privacy implications if you enable it:
- Disqus comments (
_config.yml→disqus:,_includes/comments.html) — Disqus sets cookies and processes commenter data; see Disqus’s own privacy documentation. - Google Analytics (
_config.yml→ga:,_includes/tracking.html) — collects visitor analytics data (GA4, with IP anonymization), loaded only after the visitor accepts the “analytics” category in the cookie consent banner. - Cookie consent banner (
_includes/cookieconsent.html) — CookieConsent v3, self-hosted understatic/assets/cookieconsent/(not loaded from a CDN); read their terms if you keep it, or replace it with your own. - GitHub API calls for live star/fork counts on the Projects page (
assets/js/github-stats.js) — client-side only, no server of yours is involved, but it does callapi.github.comfrom the visitor’s browser.
This page is linked from the footer (_includes/footer.html) and from _data/i18n.yml (footer_privacy). Feel free to rename, remove, or restructure it entirely.
