Privacy Policy
How GitRooms thinks about account information, rooms, and product use.
Who we are
GitRooms is the data controller for the information described here. For any privacy request, contact privacy@gitrooms.com.
Information we collect
When you sign in with GitHub we store your public GitHub profile (username, display name, avatar, and GitHub user id) and your verified email address so we can deliver notifications. We also store the rooms, messages, reactions, polls, and notification settings you create, and we briefly process your network address to apply rate limits and prevent abuse.
How we use it
We use this information to run rooms, render badges and community pages, send the notifications you opt into, keep the service secure, and respond to support requests. We do not sell personal information and do not use it for advertising.
What is public
GitRooms is a public, GitHub-native community product. Your profile, the rooms you join, your membership, and the messages you post in public rooms are visible to anyone who can view that room. Do not post anything you would not want to be public.
Data retention
We keep your account data while your account is active. Repository event records, delivered notifications, and messages you delete are purged within 90 days. Messages you authored are kept for room continuity but are anonymized if you delete your account.
Your rights
You can export a full copy of your data and permanently delete your account at any time from your Settings page. Deleting your account removes your profile, memberships, reactions, and settings, and anonymizes your authored messages. EU/EEA users may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.
