Privacy

What we collect

The site counts page views. The course sends progress reports only if you opt in. This page lists every field.

This site

Page views, without cookies

The site uses Google Analytics to count page views and clicks on the start-course buttons. Consent is set to denied for every storage type, so analytics sets no cookies. Google counts from cookieless pings, and the counts are approximate. There is no cookie banner because nothing on the site asks for consent.

The course

Progress, if you opt in

The course runs in a repository you own. It sends nothing unless you opt in. The first time you run lab submit, it asks once whether to share anonymous progress with the course authors. Answer no, or ignore the prompt, and it sends nothing. Answer yes and the grading workflow sends these fields each time it grades a pull request:

the module number
pass or fail
the course name
the template version
a random ID for that copy of the course

The report contains no GitHub username, repository name, or code.

Our endpoint

What the endpoint reads

The request carries a short-lived GitHub Actions token so the endpoint can verify it came from a grading run. That token contains the repository name. The endpoint reads it only to verify the request. It does not log or store it.

Motion Applied keeps no record. The event goes to Google Analytics.

Turning it off

One command

# in your repository
lab share off

It takes effect from your next submit. lab share on turns it back on. lab share status shows the current setting.

For questions, open an issue on the course template repository.
