Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Welcome to ReadmeDesign. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to your use of our website.

1. Information We Collect

ReadmeDesign is a 100% client-side, static website. We do not operate any backend servers, databases, or user account systems. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) to our own servers.

  • No registration required: You do not need to create an account to use our service.
  • No form submissions: Template browsing, customization, and copying are entirely local to your browser.
  • No tracking cookies: No first-party tracking cookies are set directly by ReadmeDesign.

2. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

ReadmeDesign uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense is operated by Google LLC. By using our site, you acknowledge the following mandatory disclosures required by Google's publisher policies:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • For more information about how Google collects and uses data, please review the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses data when you use their partners' sites or apps.

3. Other Third-Party Services

Our site loads the following external resources, each governed by their own privacy policies. Standard server-side logging (such as IP address, browser type, and request timestamp) may occur on their servers:

  • Google Fonts: Typography served via Google's CDN. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Tailwind CSS CDN: CSS framework loaded from Tailwind's CDN infrastructure.
  • Font Awesome CDN (Cloudflare): Icon library served via Cloudflare's global CDN network.

4. Cookies & Your Choices

ReadmeDesign itself does not set first-party cookies. However, our advertising partner (Google AdSense) and other third-party services may set cookies on your device to personalize ads, measure ad performance, and recognize your browser across visits.

You have full control over cookie usage:

  • Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies through your browser's privacy settings.
  • Google Ads Settings: Opt out of personalized Google ads at adssettings.google.com.
  • NAI Opt-Out: Opt out of interest-based advertising from NAI members at optout.networkadvertising.org.
  • DAA Opt-Out: Visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of participating companies.

5. Children's Privacy

ReadmeDesign is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to a third-party service through our site, please contact us immediately.

6. Data Security

Since we do not collect personal data on our own servers, there is no user data to secure on our end. All README template code is stored client-side within the JavaScript bundle delivered to your browser. Your customizations remain entirely on your device and are never transmitted to us.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding data held about you by third-party services accessed through our site. These may include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data. To exercise rights against specific third parties (e.g., Google), please refer to their respective privacy policies and opt-out tools linked above.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect when changes were made. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
