Privacy and terms

Short, because there is not much to say: the garden reads public release information and keeps as little about people as it can.

What we store about you

• If you sign in: your email address, your name and your GitHub login. Nothing else.
• A sign in cookie that keeps you signed in for 30 days, and a second cookie with your display name so pages can say who is signed in.
• No tracking pixels, no advertising cookies and no third party analytics.

What we read about products

Public changelogs, release feeds, app store listings, package registries and sitemaps, as described on our crawler page. For a private repository connected through our GitHub App, only the number of commits per day.

Your choices

• Delete your account from your account page. Your sign in details and claims are removed straight away.
• Remove a product from the garden on the removal page. No account is needed, and the crawler stops visiting the site.

The rules of the garden

• Points come only from what a product ships. They cannot be bought, voted on or boosted.
• Only list software you make, or software that is publicly available. We may hide listings that are not software.
• Indie Garden is provided as is, for free, with no guarantee of uptime or accuracy.
