Privacy ​

The tools collect nothing about you. GEML is a file format plus a command-line tool. There is no account, no telemetry, and no server that belongs to this project. The one exception is this website, which counts its visits with Google Analytics — see This website.

The CLI, the MCP server, and the editor integrations ​

@geml/geml runs entirely on your machine. It reads the files you point it at and writes the files you tell it to write. It does not phone home — there is nowhere for it to phone.

It touches the network in exactly two situations, both of them started by you:

  • Installing it. npm i -g @geml/geml (or npx -y @geml/geml) downloads the package from the npm registry, which is npm's service, not ours.
  • geml codemap build on a TS/JS project. It downloads the SCIP indexer it needs, once. For other languages you supply the indexer yourself and nothing is fetched.

Your documents, your code, and your .gemlhistory sidecars stay on your disk. No document content is transmitted anywhere by anything in this project.

The browser extension ​

GEML Viewer renders .geml files locally in your browser and collects nothing. Its full policy is in integrations/geml-viewer/PRIVACY.md.

This website ​

These pages are static files served by GitHub Pages. To see how many people visit and which pages they read, the site loads Google Analytics 4. It sets two first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_<ID>) and sends Google the page you are on, the page that linked you here, your approximate location (derived from your IP address, which Google Analytics 4 does not store), and your browser, device type and screen size. This project sees only aggregate numbers — page views, visitors, referrers, countries — never anything that identifies you. Google processes the data under its own privacy policy. To opt out, block cookies for this site or install Google's opt-out add-on.

The home page shows three badges, and your browser loads their images from mcptoplist.com and awesome.re; the illustrated pages load their typefaces from Google Fonts. Those hosts see your IP address and browser, as any request for a file does. The badges are requested without a referrer, so their hosts are not told which page you were on.

There are no ad scripts and nothing else that tracks you. GitHub operates the hosting and may log requests under its own privacy statement.

Issues and discussions ​

If you open an issue, a discussion, or a pull request, that happens on GitHub under your GitHub account and is public. What you write there is what we see; we ask for nothing else.

Changes ​

If any of the above ever stops being true, this page changes first — and because it lives in the repository, the change is in the git history.
