Privacy Policy
Last updated:
RepoFinder is designed with privacy by default. We don't have accounts, user databases, or ad-tracking. This page explains exactly what happens with your data.
1. Who operates this service
RepoFinder (repofinder.xyz) is an independent service. Contact: hello@repofinder.xyz.
2. What data we collect
A. Data stored only on your device (never sent to us):
- Recent searches — stored in
localStorage. Last 8 searches only. - Search result cache — stored in
sessionStorage. Auto-expires in 10 minutes. - Display preferences — stored in
localStorage. Sort mode, filter state.
B. Data sent to third-party services:
- GitHub API (github.com) — your browser sends your search query directly to GitHub's public search API. No credentials are transmitted.
- Our AI proxy (/api/ai) — your question text and public GitHub metadata for up to 30 results are sent to our server-side proxy. The proxy forwards this to an AI provider (OpenRouter). We do not persist these inputs or outputs to any database.
- Cloudflare Web Analytics (optional, cookieless) — if enabled, anonymous page-view data. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking.
3. What we do NOT do
- No user accounts, no sign-up, no login
- No server-side database storing your searches
- No advertising cookies or tracking pixels
- No sale of your data to third parties
- No personal data collection beyond what GitHub and Cloudflare receive
- No use of your data to train AI models
4. Cookies
RepoFinder does not set any first-party cookies. We use localStorage and sessionStorage for client-side persistence — these are not transmitted to any server.
6. Your rights & data deletion
Because we store no personal data server-side, there is nothing for us to delete on our end. All data stored by RepoFinder lives in your own browser and can be removed at any time:
- Click "Clear my data" on the home page to remove all RepoFinder localStorage and sessionStorage entries.
- Or use your browser's native storage clearing.
