# Legal # Terms of Use *Last updated: 2023-02-10* ## General terms These Terms of Use cover all of the services hosted by F-hub.org. F-hub.org is run by a group of volunteers and is not a formally established legal entity (yet?). By registering and using an account on the f-hub.org servers, you agree with the following Terms of Service and the F-hub.org privacy policy. For children under 16, the registration must be performed in consent with the holder of parental responsibility over the child. By accessing F-hub.org or related services (hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “F-hub.org”), you agree to be legally bound by the following terms. If you do not agree to be legally bound by all of the following terms then please do not access and/or use F-hub.org or services hosted by us. We may change these at any time and we'll do our utmost in informing you, though it would be prudent to review this regularly yourself as your continued usage of “F-hub.org” after changes mean you agree to be legally bound by these terms as they are updated and/or amended. ## Data storage As a user you agree to any information you have entered to being stored in our database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, F-hub.org shall not be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised. ## Availability The F-hub.org service is a non-commercial project run by volunteers and not a formally established legal entity. Its primary aim is to make federated code-collaboration & project communication more accessible. There are no availability guarantees and high-traffic commercial use is not supported. ## Forbidden activities You agree not to share any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where F-hub.org is hosted (Portugal) or International Law. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned, with notification of your Internet Service Provider and/or local law enforcement agencies if deemed legally required by us. ## Data and account deletion We reserve the right to delete accounts that have not been used for 6 months or longer (though we have not made use of this right yet). Please contact us if you want your account deleted yourself. You agree that F-hub.org have the right to remove, edit, move or close any repository at any time should we see fit, but we will try to inform you beforehand so that you can export your data. # Privacy Policy *Last updated: 2023-02-10* ## Preamble We will try to keep it short and to the point as likely neither of us is a lawyer. F-hub.org is run by a group of FOSS enthusiasts that take your privacy just as serious as their own. We operate on the principle to store as little data about you as feasible to ensure a good service. However at times we might make trade-offs between privacy and usability. Please let us know if you have suggestions how to improve the privacy of our users. ## Data location and storage We utilize servers located in the EU (Portugal) for hosting our service and therefore all relevant GDPR related legal obligations apply. Whatever data is collected is stored on servers we have sole control over and won't be shared with any third parties whatsoever. However, if we are compelled by law enforcement to give up your email, IP address, or any other information, we will reluctantly comply. As such, we will try to minimize the personal information we are storing about you. ## 3rd party data processors Emails for registration and notifications send by our servers are routed through a SMTP service hosted by OVH in France. No personal data is otherwise processed by third parties. ## IP addresses Some of our applications collect your IP when you sign up. At the moment, that information is kept indefinitely. However, we are working on either completely disabling it or setting something up that will periodically delete stored IP addresses. When we do, this document will be updated accordingly. IP addresses from connecting devices are also sometimes stored short-term for functional reasons such as web-server access logging and temporary user access tokens. ## Passwords User passwords are stored in hashed form only and not transmitted in clear-text. We recommend setting up two factor auth and utilize app-passwords where possible. ## Cookie Policy We will ensure that our software by default does not include any 3rd party trackers (cookies, embedded external resources etc.), but this does not prevent the software from automatically displaying user posted images or link-previews that are loaded from 3rd party servers. This currently includes 3rd party cookies from Youtube.com for example. All cookies set by us are purely functional and are not used for tracking or other non-functional uses as defined by the GDPR. # Code of Conduct Last updated: 2024-02-25 This is a work in progress, please check again later.
