Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how developer-release-note-drafter.hub2.day (“ReleaseCraft”, “the site”, or “we”) handles information when you use the Developer Release Note Drafter. The site is a focused web utility that helps indie developers, small SaaS teams, and open-source maintainers turn changelogs, commit summaries, and issue lists into clear, user-facing release notes.

Information We Collect

1. Browser-Local Project Inputs

The release-note drafting tool is designed to work primarily in your browser. Changelogs, commit summaries, issue lists, and related project text that you paste or type are processed locally in your browser to generate release notes. In normal operation, these inputs are not transmitted to our servers or stored by us.

If you choose to use optional server-assisted features (for example, enhanced formatting or export helpers), the relevant text may be sent to our servers for processing. In that case, the content is used only to produce the requested output and is not retained beyond what is needed to complete the request, unless stated otherwise in this policy.

2. Contact and Correspondence

If you contact us by email at hello@developer-release-note-drafter.hub2.day, we may collect your email address, name (if provided), and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and to improve the site.

3. Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically collect technical information when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and basic analytics. Log data is retained for a limited period and is not used to build long-term profiles of individual visitors.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use cookies and browser local storage for:

• Essential operation: remembering preferences such as editor settings or display options.
• Consent management: storing your choices about advertising and analytics cookies.
• Advertising: Google AdSense may set cookies to serve and personalize ads (see below).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.
