Welcome to doPHP.dev. As a Modern PHP Advocacy Hub, we prioritize technical transparency and developer privacy while stripping away the "legacy" stigma of the language. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information within our "Digital Workshop" environment.

1. Information We Collect

To provide a premium, IDE-like experience, we collect the following types of information:

Usage Data: We collect anonymous metrics via our Live Performance Dashboard to track site performance and prove PHP's scalability in 2026.

Technical Preferences: We store local data regarding your site customizations, such as your preference for "Dark Mode" (Deep Slate #1A202C) or your positions on the "Then vs. Now" interactive slider.

E-commerce Data (Planned): In anticipation of future features, we may eventually collect information necessary for processing orders for merchandise or premium resources.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected to maintain the high-performance standards of our platform:

Platform Optimization: To improve the functionality of our technical toolkit and "Bento Box" layouts.

Advocacy Research: Aggregate data helps us generate "State of the Union" reports regarding PHP adoption and performance trends.

Communication: If you contact us through our official advocacy channels, we use your details to respond to your inquiries.

3. Data Protection & Security

Our aesthetic is industrial yet refined, and our security follows suit. We implement technical measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, ensuring a secure environment for skeptical senior devs and CTOs alike.

4. Third-Party Integration

We may feature "Gold Standard" tools and services within our Modern Stack Directory, such as:

Dependency Management: Composer 2.x.

Static Analysis: PHPStan or Psalm.

Runtimes: FrankenPHP or Laravel Octane. Please note that these third-party tools have their own privacy policies.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Manage Preferences: Adjust your settings via our Electric Indigo (#6366F1) themed consent banner.

Opt-Out: You may refuse non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our technical toolkit or the introduction of new advocacy features.
