Privacy
FolioAtlas is designed to be useful without collecting anything about you. This page describes what the deployed system does and does not do with data.
No accounts, no personal data
You can browse, search and filter the entire directory without an account, without signing in, and without providing any information. The site has no registration system and never stores names, email addresses or IP addresses.
Search and the server
Search, filtering, sorting and pagination run against the directory database on the server, so results are consistent and shareable. Search terms travel as ordinary URL query parameters — the same thing you would send by loading a link — and are not profiled, tracked, or combined with anything identifying. Filter state lives in the page URL so you can share or bookmark a view; that is the only place it goes. When you use AI search, your query text is sent to the configured language-model provider solely to be parsed into a structured search intent; it is not stored.
Hosting and storage
The site is hosted on Vercel and the directory data is stored in a Supabase database. Like any web host, these providers process standard request data (such as IP address and user agent) to deliver pages and protect the service; FolioAtlas itself does not keep IP addresses. Your browser stores a few things locally — your light/dark theme, which portfolios you liked, and a random anonymous ID (see below). No cookies are set.
Likes, views and site visits
To show how many people liked or viewed a portfolio — and to rank the leaderboard — FolioAtlas counts anonymous, deduplicated activity. Your browser keeps a random ID that identifies nothing about you; the server stores only a salted one-way hash of it, so each visitor can like a portfolio once and a view or a click through to a site counts once per day. To limit abuse, a hash of your IP address combined with the current date is stored with each action; it changes every day, so activity cannot be linked across days. Automated traffic is ignored. Clearing your browser's site data resets the ID.
Third-party content
For entries hosted on github.io, the profile picture loads directly from GitHub, which receives a normal image request from your browser. When you open the in-page preview, the portfolio website is loaded directly in your browser, exactly as if you had visited it. Nothing else on this site loads third-party content.
External links
Portfolio cards link to third-party websites that are outside of this project’s control. Links open with rel="noopener noreferrer", so destination sites do not learn that you arrived from here. Once you follow an external link, that site’s own privacy practices apply.
No ads or trackers
The site ships no advertising, no cross-site trackers, and no fingerprinting scripts. If privacy-conscious analytics are ever introduced, this page will be updated to describe exactly what is collected before they are enabled.
About the data
Directory entries (names, portfolio links, role labels) come from a public open-source repository whose contributors added their own portfolios. This site adds no scraping and collects no additional personal information from linked sites. If you are listed and want your entry changed or removed, edit the upstream repository — see the methodology for how updates propagate.
