Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Overview

Flare CMS is an open-source project that values your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect when you use the Flare CMS documentation site, API, and admin dashboard (collectively, the "Service"), and how that information is handled.

The short version: we collect very little. Flare CMS runs on the edge with no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party advertising integrations.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you create an account on a Flare CMS instance, we store the information you provide (such as email address and display name) in the instance's D1 database. The hosted demo instance may be reset periodically.

Automatically Collected Information

The Service runs on Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare may collect standard web request data as part of its infrastructure, including:

  • IP address (used for routing and security by Cloudflare)
  • User agent string
  • Request timestamps
  • Pages visited (standard HTTP access logs)

We do not add any additional analytics, tracking scripts, or fingerprinting mechanisms beyond what Cloudflare provides as part of its standard service.

3. Cookies

The documentation site does not set any cookies. The admin dashboard uses a session cookie for authentication purposes only. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookie services.

4. How We Use Information

Information collected through the Service is used solely to:

  • Serve and deliver content you request
  • Authenticate users on the admin dashboard
  • Maintain the security and integrity of the Service
  • Monitor for abuse or violations of our Terms of Service

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service is hosted on Cloudflare's network (Workers, Pages, D1, R2, and KV). Cloudflare processes requests as part of delivering the Service and is subject to their own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing Cloudflare's privacy practices if you have concerns about infrastructure-level data handling.

6. Data Retention

Content and user data stored in Flare CMS instances is retained until deleted by the instance administrator. Demo instance data may be reset at any time. Standard Cloudflare access logs are retained according to Cloudflare's data retention policies.

7. Your Rights

If you have an account on a Flare CMS instance, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting the instance administrator. For the hosted Service, you can open an issue on GitHub to make such a request.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Service, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
