Privacy Policy

Overview

BetterOpenSource ("we", "us", "our") is a directory of open-source software. We are committed to keeping your data private and collecting as little as possible.

What we collect

• No account required. You can browse the entire directory without signing up.
• Local-only preferences. Your bookmarks, recently-viewed tools, and votes are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device and are not sent to us.
• Aggregate analytics. We may use privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics to understand which pages are popular. This data is aggregated and does not identify you.

Feedback and contact

When you submit feedback or use the contact form, the message you write — and your email address, if you choose to provide one — is transmitted so we can review and respond to it. Please don't include sensitive personal information in feedback.

Cookies

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored locally for your convenience.

Third-party links

The directory links to external websites and repositories. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
