Privacy policy

This is the part that matters most, so it goes first. The script you paste on your own site (badge.js):

• sets no cookies and writes nothing to localStorage or any other storage;
• does not fingerprint, profile or identify your visitors;
• contacts no third party, no analytics service and no ad network;
• makes exactly one request — a cached GET for your own public profile — and sends no information about the visitor with it;
• renders inside a shadow root and cannot read your page's content.

Our servers see what any web server sees when a file is requested: an IP address and a user agent, in Cloudflare's standard request logs. We do not build profiles from them and do not join them to accounts.

If you sign in, we store your Google account's email, display name and profile photo URL, plus whatever you put in your maker hub — username, bio, project links and badge settings. All of that except the email is public by design: it is what the badge and your hub display.

If you buy Pro, our payment processor (Razorpay) handles the card. We never see or store card details — only a payment ID, an amount and the fact that your account is now Pro.

On maketaksh.com only — never through the badge on your site — we use Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and PostHog to understand which parts of this page people read and where they get stuck. Clarity records anonymised session replays of this site. PostHog only creates a person profile once you sign in; if you never do, its data stays anonymous. All three set cookies in your browser while you are here.

This site also serves Google AdSense on its content pages, which uses cookies for ad delivery and measurement. You can opt out of personalised ads at adssettings.google.com.

Google Firebase (authentication and database), Cloudflare (hosting and edge caching), Razorpay (payments), and the analytics providers above (Google, Microsoft and PostHog — PostHog on US infrastructure). We do not sell data to anyone, and there is nobody to sell it to.

Email maketaksh@gmail.com from your account address and ask. Your profile, hub and account are deleted, and badges already installed on your sites simply stop rendering — they fail silently rather than breaking the page.

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes and anyone with an account gets an email. We won't quietly start collecting something new through the badge.
