Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Overview

GetFOSS ("we", "us") operates www.getfoss.org, an independent blog about free and open-source software. This policy explains what information the site collects and how it is used. The short version: this site is a static blog — we do not require registration, do not sell data, do not run ads, and do not use analytics or tracking tools.

Information We Collect

You can read all articles without an account. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal information, and we do not build user profiles.

Local Storage

The site stores small preferences (such as your dark or light theme choice) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device, contains no personal information, and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings.

Hosting and Server Logs

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. When you visit, GitHub, Inc. may automatically collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and requested pages, as described in the GitHub Privacy Statement. We do not control or process these logs.

Cookies

GetFOSS does not set advertising or tracking cookies.

Comments

Comments are not enabled on this site. If we add a commenting system in the future, it will be provided by a third-party service whose own privacy policy and cookies will apply, and this page will be updated before that happens.

External Links

Articles may link to third-party websites, such as official project pages or download sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies separately.

Your Rights

Because we do not collect or store personal data, there is generally nothing for us to access, correct, or delete. If you believe otherwise, or if you have questions about your rights under regulations such as the GDPR or CCPA, contact us at admin@getfoss.org and we will respond as soon as possible.

Children's Privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this page from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
