Privacy Policy

Effective Date: Aug 5, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to GitHero.app ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use GitHero, a modern GitHub frontend. We are not affiliated with GitHub, Inc. (githero.app).

2. Information We Collect

Authentication

  • If you sign in with GitHub, your token is used only locally in your browser or desktop app to authenticate requests to GitHub.
  • We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your GitHub account, including usernames or public profile information.
  • Only anonymous usage metrics may be collected to help improve the product.

Public Repository Access

  • If you use GitHero without signing in, we proxy your access to public GitHub repositories to work around GitHub API rate limits.
  • This proxy handles only read‑only data and does not store your token or any personal credentials.

Usage Data

  • We may collect anonymized usage metrics about your interaction with the interface, such as feature usage or performance timings.

Cookies & Analytics

  • We may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality or anonymous analytics, in compliance with your jurisdiction’s consent laws.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To authenticate with GitHub via your personal access token (only locally).
  • To provide GitHero features.
  • To monitor application performance and usability via anonymous usage data.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

  • We do not share your personal data or tokens with third parties.
  • We may disclose aggregated, non‑identifiable usage statistics publicly.
  • We may respond to legal requests if required.

5. Data Storage & Security

  • Browser (web): your token is stored obfuscated in local storage only on your device.
  • Desktop: tokens are saved in platform-level secure storage unless you opt-out when prompted.
  • We utilize encryption, access controls, and current best practices to protect stored information.
  • We never store nor transmit tokens to our servers.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location and local laws (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights to opt-out of analytics tracking or cookie collection (within technical limits of the app).

Please contact us (see below) to exercise these rights.

7. Policy Changes

We may update this Policy over time. Significant changes will be communicated through the app and website. Continued use after updates implies consent to the new version.
