Privacy Policy
We built Gitstory to turn GitHub activity into a clear, credible story. This policy explains what we access, what we store, and what we don’t.
TL;DR: We analyze only the repositories you explicitly select. We do not store raw source code.
1. What this service does
Gitstory analyzes your GitHub activity to generate a third-party summary of how you build (patterns, technologies used, and project summaries). The output is derived from GitHub data and is not self-reported.
2. Public vs private repositories
Private repositories are never accessed automatically.
We analyze private repositories only if you explicitly select them in the product UI and grant permission to access them.
3. What data we access
Depending on your selections, we may access repository and activity data such as:
- Repository metadata (e.g., name, timestamps, size)
- Commit metadata (e.g., timestamps, counts, messages)
- Language and file-type statistics
- Lifecycle signals (e.g., activity duration, recency)
We do not persist raw source code files, repository clones, or full diffs.
4. What we store
We store derived outputs only, such as:
- Aggregated metrics (counts, ratios, distributions)
- Generated narrative text and summaries
- Builder archetype classification (e.g., “Explorer”, “Maintainer”)
- Snapshot timestamps (e.g., “generated on”)
We do not store:
- Raw source code (file contents)
- Repository clones
- Complete commit diffs
- GitHub access tokens beyond what is required to perform analysis
5. How analysis works
- You choose which repositories to include on first run
- We fetch the required GitHub data securely
- We compute aggregate metrics programmatically
- We generate summaries from those metrics
- We persist only the derived results and generated text
6. Snapshots and future syncing
Today, pages are generated as snapshots. If/when syncing is introduced, it will re-analyze only the repositories you have selected, and the same storage rules will apply (no raw source code persisted).
7. Sharing & visibility
If you choose to share your generated page, anyone with the link can view it. The page may reflect information inferred from your selected repositories (e.g., stack usage, patterns, project summaries). Please share carefully.
8. Control & deletion
You can disconnect GitHub access at any time. You may also request deletion of stored data. When deleted, we remove stored metrics, generated summaries, and associated metadata.
9. Logging & security
We minimize logging of request payloads. Logs are used for operational and debugging purposes. Raw source code is not intentionally logged or stored.
