# Privytar
[](https://builds.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/privytar?)
[](LICENSE.md)
**Privytar** is a super simple privacy and caching reverse proxy for the
[Gravatar](https://en.gravatar.com/) service written in Go. It sits in
front of the Gravatar—which is a service that allows you to have a
single avatar image that follows you from site to site—, so
[Automattic](https://automattic.com/) (the company that owns Gravatar)
can't track you.
Inspired by projects like [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter),
[Invidious](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious), and
[Scribe](https://sr.ht/~edwardloveall/Scribe/), **Privytar** is easy to
use, deploy, and should be pretty reliable. Use the official instance
_TBD_ or host the service yourself.
## Usage
Hosting your own instance of **Privytar** is easy:
* [Hosting the service](doc/hosting.md)
Using **Privytar** is even easier:
* [Using the service](doc/using.md)
