Privacy Policy

This policy describes how moderngitacademy.com handles information. It reflects what the site is actually built to do, rather than a generic template.

Before publication

This policy documents the site’s technical implementation accurately. It is not legal advice, and it does not yet identify a data controller — see Outstanding items below. Anyone operating this site in a jurisdiction with data protection law (such as the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or CCPA) should have it reviewed against their actual hosting arrangements before launch.

The short version

Modern Git Academy is a static website. Every page is pre-rendered HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript, served as files.

The site itself has no accounts, no login, no comments, no forms and no database. It sets no cookies, and it runs no analytics, advertising or third-party tracking scripts.

What the site does not do

At the time of writing, this site does not:

• Set any cookies of its own.
• Use browser local storage or session storage for tracking. (Your light/dark theme preference is stored locally in your browser by the documentation framework, and never transmitted.)
• Run analytics software of any kind — no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no alternatives.
• Include advertising, advertising networks or retargeting pixels.
• Embed social media widgets, share buttons or tracking pixels.
• Load fonts, scripts or images from third-party content delivery networks.
• Operate any account system, newsletter, contact form or comment system.
• Sell, rent or share personal information, because it does not collect any.

This section is a commitment, not boilerplate

Each item above describes something genuinely absent from the current build. If any of it changes — if analytics are added, for example — this page will be updated to say so specifically, naming the service and what it collects.

Information processed automatically

Like any website, this site is delivered by a web server, and web servers necessarily receive certain information in order to send you a page. Depending on the hosting provider, that typically includes:

• Your IP address
• The page you requested
• Your browser’s user agent string
• The referring page, if your browser sends one
• The date and time of the request

This is standard HTTP request data. It is generally retained by the hosting provider in server logs for operational purposes such as delivering content, diagnosing faults and mitigating abuse.

Outstanding item: hosting provider

The specific hosting provider for this site has not been recorded here, so its log retention period and data processing terms cannot be stated accurately. See Outstanding items.

Theme preference

The site offers light and dark modes. Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage so the site does not flash the wrong theme on your next visit.

This value never leaves your device. It is not a cookie, is not transmitted to any server, and is not used for identification. Clearing your browser’s site data removes it.

Search

The site’s search is powered by Pagefind, which runs entirely in your browser. A search index is generated at build time and served as static files; when you search, your browser downloads the parts of the index it needs and matches locally.

Your search queries are not sent to a server, not logged, and not visible to the site operator.

Links to other sites

Lessons link to external documentation — the Git project, GitHub, Microsoft, Apple, Ubuntu, Homebrew and similar sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which this policy does not cover.

Following an external link means your browser contacts that site directly. This site has no involvement in and no visibility into what happens after you leave.

Children

This site is aimed at software developers and engineers. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age, because it does not operate any collection mechanism.

Your rights

Where data protection law applies, individuals generally have rights of access, correction, erasure and objection in relation to personal data held about them.

Because this site operates no account system, no forms and no analytics, it holds no personal data through which an individual could be identified. Any request concerning server logs would need to be directed to the hosting provider, which acts as processor for that data.

Changes to this policy

Material changes to how this site handles information will be reflected here. If tracking, analytics or any form of data collection is introduced, this page will name the service and describe what it collects before or at the time the change goes live.

Outstanding items

The following require real-world business details that have not been supplied. They are listed openly rather than filled with plausible-looking placeholders:

Item	Status
Legal entity or individual operating the site	TODO — not supplied
Data controller name and registered address	TODO — not supplied
Contact address for privacy enquiries	TODO — see Contact
Hosting provider and its log retention period	TODO — not supplied
Applicable governing jurisdiction	TODO — not supplied
Data protection registration, where required	TODO — not supplied

Until these are completed, this page should be treated as an accurate description of the site’s technical behaviour and an incomplete legal document.
