Privacy Policy for OpenProfile

Effective Date: January 20, 2025

Introduction

OpenProfile ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. OpenProfile is designed to be private by design, ensuring that your personal information stays with you. This privacy policy outlines how OpenProfile operates and ensures your privacy.

Key Principles

• No Permanent User Identifiers: OpenProfile does not collect or store any permanent user identifiers. All user data is encoded into the URL using Base62, ensuring that your data is fully under your control.
• Data in the URL: The app operates entirely through data encoded in the URL. We do not store or process this data on any server.
• Open Source: OpenProfile is free and open source (FOSS). You can review the source code at GitHub.com to verify how your data is handled.
• Link Shortening: If you choose to shorten your OpenProfile URLs, the shortened links are generated through Short.io and use the domain opr.ix.tc. Short.io’s privacy practices apply to these shortened links.

How OpenProfile Protects Your Privacy

1. No Data Collection: OpenProfile does not collect, store, or process any user data. All data is handled locally in your browser and encoded into the URL.
2. Transparency: As a FOSS project, anyone can review the source code to confirm that no hidden tracking or data collection mechanisms exist.
3. Optional Link Shortening: When you use the optional link-shortening feature, the encoded URL is sent to Short.io for shortening. Please refer to Short.io’s Privacy Policy for information on how they handle your data.
4. No Cookies: OpenProfile does not use cookies or other tracking technologies.

Third-Party Services

OpenProfile integrates with Short.io for link shortening. When you use this feature:

• The encoded URL is transmitted to Short.io.
• The shortened link is provided for your use.
• Please review Short.io’s privacy practices to understand how they manage data.

Your Responsibilities

• Data Sharing: Since all data is encoded into the URL, be mindful of whom you share your OpenProfile links with. Anyone with access to the link can view the encoded data.
• Reviewing Third-Party Policies: If you use the link-shortening feature, familiarize yourself with Short.io’s privacy policy to understand their data handling practices.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on openprofile.is-cool.dev. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how OpenProfile ensures your privacy.
