I am hosting my blog on gitlab pages and was wondering what kind of privacy policy I need to include to cover all the data that gitlab tracks from my visitors (IPs, log files, etc).
I very well understand that data collection is necessary to some degree to keep such a service running, I just want to make sure I am transparent about that to my visitors. (And thus compliant with European law)
Best regards,

I’d be interested in this as well, can’t find anything which says it in an understandable way and the special use case of Gitlab pages -.-
Github says that they store IP addresses.
Same problem here. We currently host the website of a not-for-profit conference on GitLab Pages but struggle to write a (required) privacy policy for it. Sadly GitLab Privacy Statement | GitLab doesn’t provide usable information regarding gitlab-pages .
Statements like "The categories of Personal Data collected by GitLab change depending on the Services you use and whether those Services are free or paid. "
GitHub does it far more transparent (About GitHub Pages - GitHub Docs)
“When a GitHub Pages site is visited, the visitor’s IP address is logged and stored for security purposes, regardless of whether the visitor has signed into GitHub or not. For more information about GitHub’s security practices, see GitHub Privacy Statement.”
There is also codeberg.org pages with very similar features. Afaik they don’t have some company behind them so I’d urge everyone to consider donating to pay for the servers and traffic.
