PRIVACY / TRANSPARENCY

A small site with a small data surface.

The MergeGrounds website has no accounts, forms, advertising pixels, or first-party analytics. The repository and community live on GitHub under GitHub’s own terms.

What this site collects

MergeGrounds does not set application cookies, create user profiles, accept form submissions, or run first-party analytics on this website. The hosting infrastructure may process ordinary request metadata needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, user agent, URL, timestamp, and security signals.

Cloudflare infrastructure and security cookies

The site is delivered through Cloudflare infrastructure. Depending on the request and the security controls Cloudflare applies, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary bot-management or challenge cookies such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance. They support traffic integrity and abuse prevention; MergeGrounds does not use them for advertising or first-party analytics. Cloudflare documents that __cf_bm expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity. The cf_clearance duration follows the configured Cloudflare Challenge Passage. Cloudflare creates and manages these cookies; MergeGrounds does not control their creation, operation, or retention.

Links to GitHub

Source code, releases, issues, discussions, stars, and private security reports are hosted by GitHub. When you follow one of those links, GitHub processes the interaction under its own privacy statement and terms. MergeGrounds does not receive your GitHub credentials.

No telemetry in the portable runner

The open-source MergeGrounds runner does not send project source, evidence, or usage telemetry to a MergeGrounds service. Tools that you configure as adapters may have their own network and data-handling behavior; review those tools before enabling them.

Changes

If accounts, analytics, hosted verification, or other data-collecting features are introduced, this page and the relevant repository documentation will be updated before that feature is presented as available. Last updated: September 6, 2026.
