MinSpec
Privacy Policy
The short version: we collect nothing. The MinSpec website has no forms, no analytics, and no cookies. The MinSpec VS Code extension is free, open-source (MIT), runs fully offline, has no telemetry, no analytics, no accounts, and no backend.
1. Who we are
MinSpec is published by Audit&Fix, a registered business name of a sole trader
(ABN 19 429 399 114) based in New South Wales, Australia ("we", "us") (not
registered for GST). This policy covers the MinSpec website (minspec.dev) and
the MinSpec Visual Studio Code extension. We handle personal information in line with the
Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles,
and — for visitors in those regions — the EU and UK GDPR. You must be at least 18
years old to use the website or extension or to submit any personal information to us.
2. The website collects nothing
minspec.dev is a static marketing site hosted on
Cloudflare Pages. It has no signup forms, no analytics scripts, and sets
no cookies that we are aware of. We do not build profiles of visitors and we have no
database of website visitors.
As with any website, our host (Cloudflare) may log standard request metadata such as your IP address at its infrastructure layer to deliver and protect the site, under its own retention periods. This happens at the CDN/hosting level and is governed by Cloudflare's own terms — see Cloudflare's privacy policy and data processing addendum. The live site uses zero analytics and zero non-essential cookies. If this ever changes, we will update this page and add a cookie notice and consent mechanism (including for EU/UK visitors) before any such cookies or analytics are introduced.
3. The extension collects nothing
The MinSpec VS Code extension is designed to be fully local and silent:
- No telemetry or analytics — it does not phone home.
- No accounts and no backend — there is nothing to sign in to.
- Offline core — it works without a network connection, and the spec/decision files it creates stay in your own project on your own machine.
- No AI dependency — it does not send your code or prompts to any model.
4. Optional local gh CLI integration
MinSpec can optionally shell out to the GitHub CLI (gh) that
is already installed on your machine — for example to file an issue — and only when
you explicitly invoke that action. When this happens:
- The command runs locally, under your own GitHub
authentication already configured for
gh. - Any resulting network request goes directly from your machine to GitHub under your account — not to Audit&Fix.
- Audit&Fix does not receive, intercept, or store anything from this interaction, and GitHub's own privacy statement governs what GitHub does with it.
If you never invoke that action, no such request is made.
5. Open source
MinSpec is open-source software released under the MIT licence. You can read the full source — and verify these claims for yourself — at github.com/harvest316/minspec.
6. Your rights
Because we hold no personal information about website visitors or extension users, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct, or delete. If you nonetheless have a privacy question or believe we hold information about you, contact us through our contact form and we will respond within 30 days, in line with the Australian Privacy Principles and, where applicable, the GDPR / UK GDPR.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version, with its effective date, will always be posted here.
