Privacy Policy for DevShelf

Platform: DevShelf Catalog & Programmatic API·Portal: devshelf.ritualdev.in·Category: Developer Tooling & AI Registries·Developer: RitualDev Studio

Open Registry Privacy Mandate: Zero Personal Tracking & Public Metadata

DevShelf is an open-source catalog, discovery engine, and programmatic REST registry for developer tools, AI agent skills, MCP servers, and automation frameworks. DevShelf is built to be browsed and consumed via automated agents and human developers alike with zero tracking cookies, zero account walls, and zero behavioral surveillance.

1. What DevShelf Stores & Distributes

DevShelf acts solely as an index of publicly available software packages, MCP plugins, and GitHub repositories:

PUBLIC SOFTWARE METADATA

Tool names, GitHub repository URLs, open-source licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0), tags, stargazers, and verified release tags. No private code is ever indexed.

PROGRAMMATIC REST API & RSS FEEDS

JSON catalog feeds, RSS XML, and Atom feeds are served statically from Cloudflare's global edge without authenticating or tracking consumers.

AUTOMATED COMMUNITY INGESTION

Tool submissions are reviewed via public GitHub pull requests on RitualDev-Lab/DevShelf. All contributor attribution is transparently visible on Git commits.

STATIC CDN BADGES

SVG verification badges rendered by DevShelf are served with aggressive caching headers. No client tracking or IP logging is retained.

2. What We Never Collect

DevShelf rejects tracking mechanisms:

  • No Tracking Cookies: DevShelf uses zero tracking, marketing, or advertising cookies.
  • No User Profiling: We do not log search queries, user browsing paths, or agent inspection histories.
  • No Paywalls or Mandatory Accounts: Developers and AI coding agents can query the entire registry anonymously without registering accounts.

3. Edge Caching & Minimal Network Telemetry

DevShelf is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process transient network connection metadata (IP address, user agent, TLS cipher) strictly to mitigate DDoS attacks and protect the catalog from malicious abuse. These logs are ephemeral and not linked to individual identities.

4. Contributor Rights & Listing Removal

If you are a maintainer of an open-source project indexed on DevShelf and wish to update its metadata or request delisting:

  • Submit a pull request to edit data/ai-tools.json on GitHub.
  • Or email developer@ritualdev.in with your repository link for immediate manual removal.
