Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

VibeTalent ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at vibetalent.work. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services. By using VibeTalent, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your email address and profile information through GitHub or Google OAuth. We do not store your passwords.
• GitHub Data: With your consent, we access your public GitHub profile, contribution history, repository metadata, and commit activity to calculate your coding streak and vibe score.
• Profile Information: Any information you voluntarily add to your profile, including bio, social links, and project descriptions.
• Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with the platform, including pages visited, features used, and referring URLs.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics to improve the platform.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following cases:

• Service Providers: We use third-party services (Supabase for database and authentication, Vercel for hosting, Google Analytics for usage insights) that process data on our behalf.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Supabase (hosted on AWS) with row-level security policies. We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and follow industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

Our platform contains links to external websites (GitHub, personal websites, project URLs). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on the platform. Your continued use of VibeTalent after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
