1. Introduction

   This Privacy Policy applies to the Depifier command-line interface (CLI) tool and related utilities ("we," "our," or "us"). Depifier is designed to check, monitor, and verify repository updates across external package registries and version control platforms (such as GitHub, Maven, and similar repositories).

   We respect your privacy and are committed to maintaining a transparent, lightweight environment.

2. Information Handling & Data Collection

   Depifier operates as a client-side local utility.

• No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, or location data.
• No Telemetry or Analytics: Depifier does not contain built-in analytics, tracking pixels, or background usage reporting. No performance metrics or error logs are automatically transmitted to external servers maintained by us.
• Local Configuration & Storage: Any configuration files, local caches, API tokens, or dependency lists processed by Depifier remain exclusively on your local machine.

1. Third-Party Requests & External Services

   To verify updates, Depifier interacts directly with third-party APIs and registries (e.g., GitHub API, Maven Central).

   When fetching metadata, your machine sends automated outbound HTTP requests to these external services. These third-party services may process standard connection metadata (such as your IP address or HTTP user-agent header) according to their respective privacy policies:

• GitHub Privacy Statement
• Sonatype / Maven Central Privacy Policy

If you configure Depifier to use personal access tokens (PATs) for authenticated rate limits, these tokens are used strictly to authenticate your outbound requests and are never sent to any destination other than the designated service host.

1. Third-Party Code & Dependencies

   Depifier relies on standard open-source libraries and package ecosystems to run. We strive to maintain minimal dependencies to reduce security and operational risks.

2. Changes to This Privacy Policy

   We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the application's behavior or legal requirements. Any updates will be published in the official project repository alongside a revised "Last Updated" date.

3. Contact & Community

   If you have any questions, issue reports, or inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy, please open an issue in the official project repository or contact us directly at: [email protected].
