Privacy Policy

Review how data and telemetry are processed inside the J&K Open Source Initiative.

Data Transparency

JKOSI is committed to maintaining privacy and transparency. We are a non-commercial community initiative, meaning we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

1. Information We Collect

When you submit a repository to the directory, we collect the details you provide (including Project Name, GitHub Repository Link, Technology Tags, Lead Developer Name, and Contact Email). We also cache public GitHub API data (such as stars, repository description, and weekly commits) to render the directory.

2. How We Use Your Data

Contact emails and developer names are collected solely for repository moderation updates, security disclosures, and verified badge mappings. We display your public GitHub profile username and profile avatar image in the directory for project attribution.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website uses local browser storage solely to save user theme preferences (e.g. Shalimar Rose, Spruce Moss, Gulmarg Ice) to ensure visual consistency when navigating between pages. No third-party tracking pixels or commercial ad cookies are used.

4. Third-Party Links

Our directory contains links to external platforms like GitHub. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. We encourage you to review GitHub's terms of service when linking repositories.
