Privacy Policy

We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as when you use our search functionality, filter organizations, or contact us through our contact form.

We automatically collect limited information about your device and how you interact with our website, such as browser type, approximate technical location, pages visited, and referring page.

When enabled, Google Analytics 4 and Vercel Analytics process pseudonymous website-usage events such as page views and basic performance signals. They are not used to inspect proposal contents, private evidence, or contributor moderation activity.

If you sign in to share a proposal, Google and Supabase provide an account identifier, email address, display name, and profile image. Email is retained for private authentication and administration and is never included in public proposal data.

Proposal PDFs, contributor claims, private verification notes, evidence links, moderation history, and profile visibility choices are stored only as needed to operate the proposal library.

Proposal PDFs and claim evidence remain private while a submission is in draft or moderation. Only approved proposals are publicly accessible.

An approved proposal always includes the attribution name and archived GSoC selection. You separately control whether your Google avatar, bio, and each profile link are public.

Cloudflare R2 stores uploaded PDFs and imported Google profile images. Supabase stores authentication, profile, catalog, claim, and moderation records. Vercel hosts the application.

We do not send proposal PDFs or private evidence to a third-party malware scanning service. Files receive format and structural validation and are delivered using restricted URLs.

You can opt-out of certain data collection by adjusting your browser settings.

You can contact us at any time to exercise your privacy rights.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure website traffic. Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights use their own measurement mechanisms.

You can control cookies through your browser settings or use browser privacy controls and opt-out extensions.

Some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

We use Google Analytics 4, Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, Supabase, Cloudflare R2, and Google Sign-In to operate the site and its optional proposal-library features.

These providers may process technical request, usage, authentication, or storage metadata according to their own privacy policies.

We do not send proposal PDFs, private evidence, or moderation notes to Google Analytics.

Review the providers' privacy policies if you need more detail about their processing.
