Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how dockercompose.net handles information when you browse our docker compose tutorials, installation guidance, command references and troubleshooting articles. It concerns this educational website; it does not describe the data practices of Docker software, GitHub or services you operate in your own containers.

Information we collect

We do not operate user accounts, contact forms, newsletters or comment systems, and we do not ask you to submit personal information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record technical data in server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, referring page and the time of your visit. These logs are used solely for security, troubleshooting and aggregate traffic analysis.

Cookies

The website does not set cookies for advertising. No analytics or advertising scripts are included in the current site. Please see our Cookie Policy for details.

Third-party services

  • GitHub — when you follow a download link, you leave our website and GitHub's privacy policy applies.

Legal basis

Where data protection law such as the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website to process server log data.

Data retention

Server logs are retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above and are then deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of personal data. Because we do not collect identifying information directly, we are generally unable to link log entries to an individual.

Children

This website is intended for a general technical audience and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above indicates the latest revision.

docker compose files and local environments

Browsing this website does not connect it to your Docker Engine or give it access to compose.yaml files, environment variables, running containers or database volumes. The site does not request uploads of docker compose projects. Keep credentials and confidential configuration out of any material you independently choose to share with another service.
