Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026At Pulsebyte (accessible at pulsebytes.github.io), we value your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected when you browse our website and articles.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Pulsebyte does not require user registration, passwords, or personal account creation. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal identifiable information to third parties.
2. Local Storage & Client-Side Preferences
To improve your browsing experience, Pulsebyte uses standard browser LocalStorage solely to retain your client-side preferences:
- Theme Preference: Stores whether you prefer dark mode or light mode (
pb-theme). - Cached Feed Data: Temporarily caches public trending projects locally (
pb-feed) so the website loads instantly even with slow connections.
This information stays entirely inside your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
3. Third-Party Services & Public APIs
Our feed indexes public open-source data from platforms such as GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Hugging Face, and Product Hunt. When you navigate to external links or repositories, their respective privacy policies apply:
- GitHub / GitHub Pages: Hosted via GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect basic server access logs (including IP addresses) for security and operational purposes as described in GitHub's Privacy Statement.
- DiceBear / Font CDNs: Used for rendering secure fallback icons and Google Fonts.
4. Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosures
Pulsebyte may display designated sponsor banners or developer tool recommendations. When sponsor banners are displayed, they are clearly identified with a "Sponsored" or "Featured Partner" tag. Clicking a sponsored link may direct you to a partner website with an affiliate or campaign attribution parameter.
5. Your Rights & Contact
If you have any questions or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy, please reach out via our public GitHub repository or email us at zeddev@duck.com.
