This privacy policy applies to patrickruddiman.com and to the open-source software published by Patrick Ruddiman that references this policy for authentication and data-handling disclosures.
Scope
This policy covers two contexts:
- This website — patrickruddiman.com, a personal site that showcases open-source software projects.
- Open-source software — Applications and tools published by Patrick Ruddiman that link here to satisfy app-store, OAuth provider, or platform authentication requirements. Where a specific app collects data beyond what is described here, that app's own documentation will say so explicitly.
What this site does not collect
- This site does not collect personal data from visitors through the site itself.
- There are no user accounts, newsletters, contact forms, comments, or checkout flows on this site.
- The site does not store submitted user data because there is nothing for visitors to submit.
Cookies and tracking
- This site does not use cookies for tracking, authentication, analytics, or personalization.
- This site does not use analytics tools, advertising pixels, tracking scripts, or profiling technology.
Authentication in open-source software
Some of Patrick Ruddiman's open-source applications implement OAuth or other authentication flows. When you authenticate through one of those applications:
- Authentication is handled through the relevant third-party provider (for example, GitHub or Azure DevOps) using their official OAuth device flow or browser redirect flow.
- Credentials and access tokens are stored locally on your machine, not on any server operated by Patrick Ruddiman.
- No account data, usage telemetry, or personal information is transmitted to or stored by Patrick Ruddiman's infrastructure.
- The privacy practices of the OAuth provider you use (GitHub, Microsoft, etc.) apply to that authentication step.
Third-party services and links
This site links to third-party services such as LinkedIn, GitHub, and npm. If you follow one of those links, the privacy practices of that third party apply once you leave this site.
This site may rely on routine hosting or platform infrastructure, which can create standard server logs as part of normal platform operation. Those logs are not used for visitor tracking.
Changes to this policy
If the way this site or the referenced software works changes in a way that affects data handling, this page will be updated with a revised date.
