Hi everyone!
You've probably noticed how everyone else is updating their privacy policy. The Cockpit Project is updating our own too.
There are manymore details in the privacy policy, but here's a quick summary:
1. In most circumstances, the Cockpit Project does not actively collect your information.
2. We do, however, use mailing lists, IRC, and GitHub — and all of these third party services require at least a little bit of your personal informationto function.
3. The website is static, doesn't track, and does not set cookies.
4. The website makes use of embedded videos, especially in blog posts. These videos are hosted by YouTube, a Google company, which would see your IP address when the videos are loaded. We have turned off cookies for these videos.
5. We may collect some small amounts of personal information from people at conferences, during usability tests, or to respond back to someone over email. This information usually consists of names, email addresses, and sometimes a fewother personal details.
We have a new page that outlines the above and goes into more detail (including a large helping of legalese) on our website at: https://cockpit-project.org/privacy.html
On the privacy page, there are links to contact third parties (and to read their own privacy policies too), as well as a lot of details that could cover all sorts of situations.
Thanks for reading!
Garrett
None of this applies to Cockpit (the software) itself, right? If so, it would be worth making that very clear at the top of the page. Perhaps even the first sentence.
What do you think?
