Contributing

This project's contributions work a little different than most GitHub projects. If you have a small bug fix or typo fix, please open a Pull Request(PR) directly to this repository.

In order to reduce burnout by limiting the maintenance overhead of reviewing and validating third-party code, this project is open to code contributions for bug fixes only. Features carry a long-term maintenance burden so they will not be accepted at this time.

If you would like to contribute a feature, please follow these steps:

Check for existing issues first, before filing an issue.
Discuss the feature in the new/existing issue.
Create a pull request from your fork to this repository, once details are clear and approved by maintainer.
Post a link to your pull request in the issue for consideration.

It's likely that code style and implementation details will need to be tweaked so it's easier to for me to grab your implementation as a starting point when implementing a feature.

Additionally, make sure to read the dev docs to

Contribute financially

Servers aren't free and running/maintaining this project isn't free either.

Please consider contributing on GitHub sponsor to offer continued support. You can do a one-time contribution or set up a recurring monthly contribution.

Alternatively you can fuel my late night programming sessions by buying me coffee ☕.

app-privacy-policy-generator's Issues

Add Piwik

Add Piwik as additional Third Party Service

Translate to other languages

It would be great to generate content in other languages as well.

Monetizing with the BTC License

Hola! I noticed your Bitcoin donation address. I'm working on pushing forward a new licensing model for FOSS projects called the BTC License. You can read about it here:

https://hackernoon.com/introducing-the-btc-license-28650887eb11

Is this something you'd be interested in applying to this software? If not, is there something you feel might be improved? Thanks!

Title for Terms and Condition is Privacy Policy

Upon generation of a Terms and Condition page in the HTML code the title is set to Privacy Policy.

<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <title>Privacy Policy</title> <style>body{font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding:1em;}</style></head> <body><h2>

Add 'Crashlytics' to third party services

Links to Crashlytics privacy policies:

http://try.crashlytics.com/terms/privacy-policy.pdf

http://try.crashlytics.com/terms/

Permalink feature would be nice

If the privacy policy can be generated by passing the values (app name, company etc.) in the query parameter then we need not host the privacy policy elsewhere. We can just use this link in Google Play Store etc.

Any thoughts?

Add Your Bitcoin Address Into The Readme

Hi @nisrulz,
thanks for your awesome app privacy policy generator. What do you think of adding your Bitcoin address into the readme?

"true" as plain text in Terms & Conditions

Hi,
I let the Generator generate Terms & Conditions for me, but unfortunately there appears a random "true" in it.
It can be found here:
"and it could mean that the App name app won’t work properly or at all.
true
The app does use third party services that declare their own Terms and Conditions."

Is some text missing there or is it complete?

Download buttons do not work on Safari

Someone tweeted.

Got an email

Web App Generating Empty Privacy Policy

Thanks!

Add More Clauses. Example AdColony, Unity Ads, Vungle, StartApp

Capitalize filter not working

In #28 b62d9d0 substitutes https://github.com/freearhey/vue2-filters by https://github.com/wy-ei/vue-filter.
Because the substitute does not contain the capitalize filter, the substitutions are not capitalized when needed.

Privacy policy not generated

I have entered the required information and clicked on generate button, but the privacy policy is not generated.

Capitalize 'we' at beginning of sentences

Where the value of the iOrWe variable is used at the beginning of a sentence it should be capitalized.

An example of this not being capitalized is the Log Data section:

Log Data
we want to inform you that whenever you use our Service, in a case of an error in the app we collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Add clause for amazon ads

It seems that Google is particularly sensitive about using the advertising ID, and Amazon ads is a popular SDK that uses that data. It would be nice to have the option to include an amazon clause to the policy.

There are options for other services that link to a privacy policy published by the provider; however there is currently no option for Amazon, and even after a fair amount of searching I haven't found anything that seems relevant to link to.

out dated crashlytics policy link

The link is out dated. You should use https://firebase.google.com/terms/crashlytics

Add Crashlytics?

It's pretty popular and would make a great addition to this repo 😄

Add OneSignal

Hi, it would be useful to add the OneSignal notification system (onesignal.com), thanks.

is it gdpr compliant?

... that we request is will be retained ...

There is a grammatical issue in one of the fragments.

The information that we request is will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

Either "is" or "will be" would work here - but together this doesn't form a clear sentence.

Replace dependency on bootstrap with a lighter framework

Also, remove jQuery which is used by bootstrap. The app is now ported to VueJS and does not need jQuery or any other supporting libs.

admob policy link

I think the correct admob policy link is the following

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

The link you provided is for developer, not for final users.

API or general template files

I am currently working on a student project which explores bridging the gap between live systems and their respective (outdated) Privacy policy. It will auto-generate the Privacy policy based on labels and OpenAPI Schemas. (in the light of GDPR)
As this is the only OpenSource project I found for generating Policies I would like to contribute or share this work here (or make it at least compatible).

For this purpose, It would be great if the templates used in this app could be used by another script or an API for automatically generating the Privacy policy based on the parameters given would exist.

I think the template approach would be much easier.
Should I go forward and create a PR?
This would also allow easier changes for non-programmers just wanting to check or modify the policy.

Add an option for adding information about adding 3rd party libs

Google Play Services
Crashlytics
Other analytic solutions

Add template: Terms & Conditions

Flycricket Terms formatting

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a specific way you were posting the generated terms onto the Flycricket generator to have it come out formatted correctly. I tried pasting in the HTML and the Markdown generated, but Flycricket doesn't want to format either of those correctly like the Privacy Policy is.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Add a better privacy policy

Add Simplified Chinese Translation

I can provide English to Simplified Chinese translations

Just was wondering what is the best way to add another language? Should we put a config file for choosing the language to use that can be toggled by user clicking a button?

Was also looking through these links:

Please put push functionality to a particular git address we provided

Push functionality is needed. Please consider.
Thanks.

Add clause for Facebook SDK

I believe we need to add Facebook's privacy policy when integrating Facebook Login in an app.

I think this is what needs to be added. Will add it myself if anyone can confirm.
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

Feature request: Download MD format

In addition to HTML, it would be nice to have the privacy policy generated into Markdown format

Capitalisation not working

In the template there are several instances where variables have a capitalisation filter . This appears to fail: the end result is not capitalised.
Tested in Firefox 76 and Chrome 81

Missing dot in one sentence

The information that I request is retained on your device and is not collected by me in any way is missing a dot.

This is what I put up in the generator:

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Google Play Services
Log Data

I want to inform you that whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error in the app I collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.

You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.

I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:

To facilitate our Service;
To provide the Service on our behalf;

I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Security

I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do necessary actions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
