Privacy and analytics

Public profiles and work summaries

You choose which completed work to show with your GitHub account, inspect a preview, and approve publication. Anyone with a shared profile's link can view it. Sharing by link is public sharing. Allowing a profile to appear in search engines is a separate, optional choice included in the preview you approve; it is off unless you choose it.

Only eligible profiles with approved public work can appear in search. TEST profiles, work whose source has not yet been classified, and profiles without eligible work stay excluded. Profiles with search enabled leave out other people's names and profile links. Work summary pages stay excluded from search indexing, even when you share them. Search engines decide whether and when to index an eligible profile.

Profiles use eligible public GitHub sources and the work you approved for sharing. Private feedback, notes, reflections, agreements and project titles are not shown. Work you have not chosen to share is not listed or counted.

Hiding a profile removes it and links to it from Devprentice. Each work summary has its own sharing setting. Search engines and other services may keep results or cached copies; hiding cannot remove those immediately.

Optional product analytics

If you opt in, Devprentice sends PostHog your internal account ID, account role, page route names, and the names of app actions you use, such as signing in, submitting an application, or requesting help. Action requests can repeat and do not by themselves confirm an outcome. We do not send your name, email, form answers, repository content, private URL identifiers, query strings, URL fragments, page titles, referrers, or session replay.

Anonymous public page visits use a random ID held only in this page's memory. Reloading starts a new ID. We do not fingerprint your browser or link this ID to your account. Private pages and app events require an active signed-in account.

Analytics is off unless you choose it. You can change your choice in the account menu. Your choice is stored in a cookie on the API domain for one year. Turning it off stops future events from that browser.
