RepoDrop is a small independent project that publishes one free, open-source developer
tool per day. This page describes exactly what data is and is not collected. It is written
to be accurate rather than comprehensive-sounding.
The short version. The website has no accounts, no
tracking pixels and no advertising. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers. If you
comment on a post and receive an automated reply, the only thing stored is what is needed
to send that one reply.
The website
repodrop.dpdns.org is a static site. It has no login, no user accounts
and no comment system.
No cookies are set by this site. The light and dark theme preference
is kept in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device.
The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes standard request data such as
IP address for security and delivery. This is Cloudflare acting as our infrastructure
provider. See Cloudflare's own privacy documentation for detail.
Links to GitHub repositories are ordinary outbound links. Once you follow one, that
site's own policy applies.
The newsletter
If a newsletter signup is offered and you enter an email address, that address is used
for one purpose: sending the daily tool. It is not sold, rented or shared. Every message
includes a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing deletes the address.
Social media automation
RepoDrop publishes to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook using each platform's
official API, through self-hosted software. Two things follow from that:
Publishing. We upload our own original videos to our own accounts.
We do not access, collect or repost other people's content.
Automated replies. If you comment a keyword on one of our posts, you
may receive one automated direct message containing the link you asked for. This is
triggered only by your own comment. We store your platform-provided user identifier and
the comment that triggered it, solely to send that reply and to avoid messaging you
twice. We do not build profiles, and we do not send unsolicited messages.
You can stop receiving these at any time by replying to ask, or by using the platform's
own block and message-control settings.
What is never collected
No advertising or cross-site tracking identifiers.
No sale or transfer of data to third parties for their own purposes.
No payment details. Nothing on this site is for sale.
No special-category data, and nothing knowingly collected from children under 13.
Your rights
RepoDrop is operated from Germany, so the GDPR applies. You may request access to,
correction of, or deletion of any personal data held about you, and you may object to
processing. Requests are handled within 30 days. Because so little is collected, most
requests can be answered immediately.
