Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 2, 2026. UtilityHub is designed with a strict static-first, minimal-data footprint.
01. Core Principles
UtilityHub (https://utilityhub.site) respects your privacy. We believe developer tools should not secretly harvest personal data. We do not require user account registration, do not collect email lists without consent, and do not track individual cross-site identities.
02. Information We Collect
We collect only anonymous, aggregate behavioral data necessary to maintain and improve directory discovery:
- Page Views & Navigation: Anonymized URL paths visited.
- Outbound Clicks: Aggregate counts of outbound repository or tutorial clicks.
- Search Term Frequency: Anonymized keyword counts to determine trending topics (any sensitive inputs like API keys are automatically redacted).
- Technical Metadata: Anonymized browser family, screen resolution, and approximate country-level geographic location.
03. What We Do NOT Collect
- We do NOT collect passwords, personal names, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
- We do NOT store API keys, secret credentials, or private prompts entered into client search.
- We do NOT sell personal user identities or private customer data.
04. Analytics & Consent
We use Google Analytics 4 in privacy-anonymized mode. Where applicable by law (e.g. GDPR/ePrivacy in the EU), analytics tracking is disabled by default until you grant consent via our Cookie Preferences. Declining analytics does not affect website usability or search features in any way.
