Children's Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 15, 2025 | Last Updated: October 15, 2025

.git ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of all users, with particular attention to children. This Children's Privacy Policy outlines how we handle personal information involving users under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable data protection regulations.

1. Scope & Intended Audience

.git provides professional developer tools, DevOps infrastructure, and cloud deployment services. Our platform is designed exclusively for adult professionals, software engineering teams, and enterprises. We do not design, market, or direct any part of our website, applications, or developer tools toward children under the age of 13.

2. Information Collection

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 in connection with our platform. This includes, but is not limited to, names, email addresses, account credentials, school affiliations, IP addresses linked to juvenile users, or behavioral analytics. If we discover that a user is under 13 and has inadvertently provided personal information, we will take commercially reasonable steps to delete such data from our servers without delay.

3. Parental Consent & Controls

Should a situation arise where parental or guardian consent is legally required, we will implement verifiable consent mechanisms prior to any data collection. Parents and legal guardians retain the right to:

Requests must be submitted using the contact information provided in Section 6. We verify the identity of requestors to protect user privacy and security.

4. Third-Party Integrations & External Services

.git integrates with third-party developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, identity providers, and cloud infrastructure. These services operate under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. We do not embed third-party SDKs, trackers, or analytics services that are known to collect data from children. We encourage parents to review the privacy practices of any external services connected to their organization's account.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect data processed through our platform. However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. We retain data only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Any juvenile data identified as collected in error is purged immediately upon verification.

Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage parents and guardians to review this document periodically.
