Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 10, 2026
Citril is a small scripting language distributed by Connor Rutberg. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit citril.dev or download Citril.
The short version: the web server records which version of Citril was downloaded and which operating system the request came from, so the project knows which platforms to support and test. Citril itself sends nothing. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers.
1. Who is responsible
Connor Rutberg, maintaining the Citril project.
Contact: contact@citril.dev
Location: Canada
2. What is collected
When you visit citril.dev or download a release, the web server receives the information every browser sends with a request:
- Operating system and version, derived from your browser's User-Agent header
- Which Citril release you downloaded
- Pages requested, and when
- Referring page, if you followed a link
- IP address
IP addresses are truncated before being written to any log — the final
segment is discarded, so an address is recorded as 203.0.113.0
rather than 203.0.113.47. Full IP addresses are never stored.
No cookies are set for tracking or advertising. citril.dev uses no analytics service of any kind — there is no analytics script on the site, and no cookies are set for any purpose.
3. What is not collected
The Citril interpreter and library do not connect to the internet. They send no telemetry, no usage data, and no crash reports. Your scripts, file paths, project contents, and anything typed into the interpreter never leave your machine. Once you have downloaded Citril, the project has no visibility into how you use it.
4. Why it is collected
To count downloads per release and per operating system. Knowing which platforms and versions are actually in use determines what gets tested, supported, and fixed first.
It is not used to profile you, make automated decisions about you, or advertise anything. Where the GDPR applies, the lawful basis is legitimate interest in maintaining the software.
5. How long it is kept
Raw server logs are deleted after 90 days.
Each night they are rolled up into anonymous aggregate counts — for example, "38% of 0.4.1 downloads were on Windows 11" — which cannot be traced back to any individual visitor. Those aggregates may be kept indefinitely and may be published.
6. Who it is shared with
Nobody. Nothing is sold, rented, or traded.
Requests are necessarily handled by the infrastructure the site runs on — Porkbun (web hosting, DNS, and domain registration) — acting on the project's behalf. Aggregate, non-identifying download statistics may be published in release notes or on the website. Information may be disclosed if compelled by valid legal process.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of any information held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to its processing, or to complain to a data protection authority.
In practice, this project cannot identify you. Nothing collected is tied to a name, an account, a device identifier, or a full IP address, and the aggregate counts described above contain no information about individuals at all. If you make a request, the honest and complete answer will be that there is no information held that can be linked to you — and you will not be asked to supply identifying details in order to be looked up, because doing so would create exactly the connection this policy is designed to avoid.
Raw server logs, retained for 90 days, are the only records that could theoretically relate to a single visit. Even those contain no full IP address, and cannot reasonably be attributed to a particular person.

8. Children
Citril is a developer tool, not directed at children under 13. No information is knowingly collected from them.
9. Changes
This policy may be updated. Material changes will be noted here with a new "Last updated" date.
