Gabbervault privacy policy and data handling.

1. Information we collect

When you create an account or sign in with Google OAuth, Gabbervault may collect your name, email address, username, and optionally a profile image. If you use social login, the data returned by the identity provider may also include a provider ID and avatar URL. Passwords are only stored when you use local email/password authentication and are stored as hashed values.

2. How we use your information

Your information is used to authenticate your identity, provide access to account and community features, show your public profile where you have chosen to make it public, and improve the archive experience. Gabbervault does not use this information for advertising or marketing.

3. Sharing of information

Gabbervault does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties except where it is required to operate the authentication flow described above.

4. Data storage and security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect stored personal data and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

5. Third-party services

Google OAuth is used for authentication. Use of that service is also subject to Google’s own privacy policy and terms.

Gabbervault also uses Discogs as a third-party data source for parts of the public music archive. This application uses Discogs’ API but is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Discogs. ‘Discogs’ is a trademark of Zink Media, LLC.

6. Cookies and analytics

Gabbervault uses a self-hosted Umami installation at analytics.gabbervault.nl to measure pageviews and a limited set of site interactions, such as search usage, vault actions, follows, submissions, and newsletter signups. This analytics setup is owned and operated by Gabbervault and is not shared with Google or ad networks.

Analytics data is used only to understand traffic and improve the archive. It is not used for advertising personalization, cross-site profiling, or resale. The analytics setup is intended to collect minimal usage data and keep control of that data on Gabbervault’s own infrastructure.

7. Your rights

You can request access to the personal data held about you, ask for corrections, request deletion, or withdraw consent. For these requests, contact info@gabbervault.nl.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
