Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Overview

dockhand is a learning platform for Docker. We take your privacy seriously and minimize data collection. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we process it.

1. No Account Required

You do not need to create an account to use dockhand. Your learning progress (completed lessons, XP) is stored entirely in your browser's localStorage. We never receive this data.

You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings. No personal information is transmitted to our servers.

2. Hosting & Infrastructure (Dokploy)

dockhand is hosted on a server managed with Dokploy, an open-source deployment platform. Dokploy may log:

  • IP addresses of visitors (standard server logs)
  • Timestamps and requested URLs
  • HTTP status codes and response sizes

These logs are used exclusively for operational purposes: debugging, monitoring server health, and preventing abuse. Logs are retained for a maximum of 14 days and are not shared with third parties.

3. Analytics (Plausible)

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service hosted at analytics.dockhand.lol (self-hosted). Plausible is designed to be GDPR-compliant without cookie banners. Specifically:

  • No cookies are set or read
  • No personal data (IP addresses, browser fingerprints, etc.) is collected or stored
  • Data is aggregated and anonymized at the point of collection
  • We only see: page views, referrer sources, browser types, device types, and countries (at a regional level, never specific locations)

Plausible is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. No consent banner is required. Read Plausible's data policy.

4. What We Do NOT Collect

  • No email addresses or names
  • No passwords or authentication data
  • No tracking cookies
  • No social media tracking pixels
  • No fingerprinting or canvas data
  • No credit card or payment information

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Plausible Analytics (self-hosted at analytics.dockhand.lol) — privacy-friendly page view analytics
  • Dokploy — self-hosted deployment platform (logs IPs as described above)
  • Docker Hub / GitHub Container Registry — for pulling application images

6. Data Retention

Server logs (including IP addresses): retained for 14 days, then automatically deleted.

Plausible analytics data: retained indefinitely in anonymized, aggregated form. It cannot be used to identify individuals.

Your learning progress (localStorage): retained in your browser until you clear it. We have no access to this data.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

As a user, you have the right to:

  • Access — request information about what data we hold
  • Deletion — request deletion of any server logs
  • Objection — object to data processing (you can block Plausible via browser extensions like uBlock Origin)
  • Data portability — your learning progress is already on your device

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@dockhand.lol.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of dockhand after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
