Privacy Policy

The short version

commit.is is a tool for discovering GitHub repos. We collect the minimum data needed to make it work: your GitHub profile (when you sign in), basic analytics, and any feedback you send us. We don't sell your data, and we don't show you ads.

What we collect

• GitHub profile data — When you sign in with GitHub, we receive your username, display name, avatar, email (primary), and an access token scoped to star public repos. This is standard OAuth.
• Session history— Your swipe actions (star/skip/save) are stored in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device unless you sign in and we sync them server-side (future feature).
• Feedback and email — When you submit the feedback form, we store your email and message in a Google Sheet accessible only to the commit.is team.
• Analytics— We use PostHog and Vercel Analytics to understand usage patterns (pages visited, swipe actions, feature adoption). No personally identifiable information is included unless you're signed in, in which case your GitHub username is linked to events so we can investigate bugs.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data to third parties.
• We don't show ads.
• We don't read your private repos.
• We don't unstar repos or modify your GitHub account in any way other than the star action you explicitly trigger.
• We don't store your GitHub access token client-side. It lives on the server in an encrypted session.

Third-party services

We use these providers to run commit.is:

• Vercel — hosting and analytics
• GitHub — OAuth and repo data
• Groq — AI README summarization (READMEs are public anyway)
• PostHog — product analytics
• Google — Sheets for storing feedback

Each of these has their own privacy policy.

Your rights

You can delete your account at any time by revoking the OAuth app access at github.com/settings/applications. To request deletion of your email from our feedback records, contact us via the feedback form.

Changes

If we materially change how we handle data, we'll update this page and note the change date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
