Last updated: 2025-12-21

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use Dev Knowledge Hub (the “Service”).

Overview

Dev Knowledge Hub is a developer knowledge platform that helps individuals and teams centralize, organize, and search technical resources. To provide the Service, we process account, organization, and usage data, including information you submit (like saved URLs and comments) and system-generated metadata (like search indexes).

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

Account and Authentication

  • Account identifiers (e.g., user ID)
  • Email address and authentication data handled through our authentication provider

Third-Party Sign-In (e.g., Google)

If you choose to sign in using a third-party identity provider (such as Google), we receive information from that provider as part of the sign-in flow, which may include:

  • Your email address
  • Basic profile information (such as name and profile picture), depending on what you consent to share

We use this information to create and authenticate your account. We do not receive your password for that third-party account.

  • Username
  • Full name (optional)
  • Bio (optional)
  • Avatar (e.g., avatar URL, optional)

Knowledge Base Content

When you save resources, we may process and store:

  • The resource URL
  • Title and summary (including AI-generated summaries)
  • Category, tags, language, difficulty level
  • Search indexes and embeddings used to improve search relevance

Comments and Progress Tracking

  • Comments you write on resources

Technical Data

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and secure the Service
  • Authenticate users and enforce organization access controls
  • Store, index, and display knowledge resources
  • Generate AI-assisted metadata and search responses
  • Prevent abuse and troubleshoot issues
  • Communicate with you about the Service and support requests

AI and Automated Processing

The Service may use automated systems (including AI) to analyze resource URLs, generate summaries/tags, and produce search responses. Automated outputs may be inaccurate. Avoid providing sensitive personal data or secrets in inputs unless necessary and lawful.

How We Share Information

We may share information:

  • Within your organization: content you add may be visible to other members based on roles and permissions.
  • With service providers: we use third-party vendors to host and operate parts of the Service (we describe these generally as “service providers”). They are authorized to process data only as needed to provide services to us.
  • For legal reasons: to comply with law, enforce these policies, or protect rights and safety.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (subject to applicable law).

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Some limited data may persist in backups for a period of time.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your information. You can request these by contacting us at the email below.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and update the “Last updated” date.
