Privacy Policy
// TL;DR
We don't track you. We don't collect your data. We don't use cookies for tracking. VibeTrace displays publicly available AI model data - that's it. Your privacy is respected by design.
// Data We Collect
VibeTrace is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal data:
- →No personal information: We don't require accounts, emails, or any personal identifiers.
- →No tracking cookies: We don't use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
- →No analytics tracking: We don't track your browsing behavior or collect usage patterns.
- →Aggregated API data only: All data displayed comes from public APIs (ZeroEval, GitHub, HuggingFace, etc.).
// How We Use Data
The data displayed on VibeTrace is sourced from public APIs and benchmarks:
- →Model performance data: Sourced from ZeroEval and other public benchmarks.
- →Ecosystem activity: GitHub trending repos, HuggingFace models, news articles.
- →All data is cached: We cache API responses server-side to reduce load on source APIs.
- →No user profiling: We don't build profiles or track individual users.
// Cookies & Storage
We use minimal browser storage:
- →Theme preference: Your light/dark mode choice is stored in localStorage.
- →No tracking cookies: We don't set any tracking or third-party cookies.
- →No fingerprinting: We don't use browser fingerprinting techniques.
// Third-Party Services
VibeTrace fetches data from the following public APIs:
- →ZeroEval: AI model benchmarks and ELO ratings
- →GitHub API: Trending repositories and ecosystem activity
- →HuggingFace API: Model information and spaces
- →Hacker News API: Tech news and discussions
- →arXiv API: Research paper metadata
- →Dev.to API: Developer articles
These services have their own privacy policies. We only fetch publicly available data.
// Data Security
We take security seriously:
- →HTTPS only: All connections are encrypted with TLS.
- →No user data stored: Since we don't collect user data, there's nothing to breach.
- →API data caching: Cached data is stored server-side with 1-hour expiration.
- →Open source friendly: Our approach is transparent and privacy-respecting.
// Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) don't apply in the usual sense. However:
- →Clear your theme preference: Delete localStorage in your browser settings.
- →Use without tracking: Browse freely knowing you're not being tracked.
- →Questions welcome: Contact us if you have any privacy concerns.
