This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how third-party partners like Google AdSense process cookie data.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide high-quality engineering metrics and code analytics:

• GitHub Account & Auth Data: When you log in via GitHub OAuth, we receive your public username, email, profile photo, and authorized OAuth token to retrieve public/private repository metadata.
• Repository Activity Data: Event data (PRs, commits, reviews, workflow events) required to calculate contributor scores, PR velocity, and repository health.
• Log & Analytics Data: IP addresses, browser types, device info, and page activity logged automatically to maintain service security and performance.

3. Google AdSense & Cookies Policy

We use third-party advertising vendors, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website.

• DART Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to GitRanked and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
• Third-Party Vendors: Other third-party ad networks or servers may also use cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons to measure campaign effectiveness and personalize ad content. GitRanked has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers.

4. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard security measures to guard your repository metadata and user profile information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. We do not store raw source code files; we strictly process GitHub event streams and commit statistics.
