Privacy

Privacy matters, especially for documentation projects.

SORF is designed around public educational resources, not user accounts, private dashboards, uploaded documents, or stored organizational records.

Current website model

This site is informational and public.

The SORF website provides plain-language explanations, learning resources, framework orientation, and links to official GitHub resources.

The website is not intended to require user accounts, logins, payment processing, private file uploads, or storage of completed templates.

Official SORF downloads, releases, version history, review records, and contribution activity are handled through the official SORF GitHub repository.

GitHub participation

Public contributions happen through GitHub.

SORF uses GitHub for public feedback, Issues, Pull Requests, review records, release history, and official development activity.

If you participate through GitHub, your activity may be public and associated with your GitHub account. GitHub is a separate platform with its own privacy practices, account settings, terms, and data handling rules.

Official repository

Information you provide

Feedback should avoid private or sensitive details.

If you contact SORF or submit feedback through GitHub, the information you choose to provide may be reviewed for questions, corrections, contribution review, safety concerns, or project improvement.

Submissions should remain general and non-sensitive. Do not send real credentials, customer information, employee records, donor records, confidential business records, legal documents, sensitive incident details, or completed templates containing private information.

If you need help with a private organizational matter, use qualified professional guidance through an appropriate private channel instead of sending details to SORF or posting them publicly on GitHub.

Downloads

Downloaded templates are your responsibility to protect.

SORF may link to blank templates or release packages through GitHub Releases. Once downloaded, completed, edited, stored, shared, or uploaded elsewhere, those files are controlled by you or your organization.

Completed templates may contain sensitive operational information. Store them only in systems appropriate for your organization’s needs, policies, legal requirements, and risk profile.

SORF templates should not be used to store passwords, API keys, private keys, seed phrases, recovery codes, payment card data, or other secret values.

Analytics and hosting

Basic hosting, security, or analytics data may exist.

Like many websites, this site may generate basic technical records through hosting, security, performance, or analytics services. This may include information such as page requests, browser type, device type, approximate region, referrer information, error logs, or security-related events.

SORF should avoid unnecessary tracking and should prefer privacy-respecting measurement where analytics are used.

Third-party links

External websites have their own privacy practices.

The SORF website may link to GitHub, official license pages, external tools, educational references, documentation resources, or other third-party websites.

Those websites are separate from SORF and may have their own privacy policies, terms, account systems, tracking practices, and data handling rules.

Children

This project is intended for organizational use.

SORF is intended for adults, organizations, businesses, nonprofits, community projects, educators, reviewers, and people responsible for organizational records.

It is not designed as a service directed to children.

Future changes

This privacy page may be updated.

This privacy page may change if SORF adds new features, contact forms, newsletters, hosted downloads, analytics, donation tools, translation workflows, contribution systems, fiscal support platforms, or other services.

Any future feature that collects more information should be reviewed carefully before being added.
