Privacy Policy

StarDeck (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension that helps you search, filter, and tag your GitHub starred repositories. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how it is used.

Summary

• No backend and no StarDeck accounts
• No analytics or advertising trackers
• Data stays in your browser except when talking to GitHub’s API
• You can clear all stored data anytime by disconnecting or uninstalling

Data we handle

StarDeck stores the following in chrome.storage.local on your device:

• GitHub personal access token (PAT) — used only to authenticate requests to the GitHub API
• GitHub profile basics — login, display name, and avatar URL returned by GET /user
• Cached starred repositories — metadata such as name, description, topics, language, and star counts from GET /user/starred
• Custom tags — labels you add to repositories in the extension or on github.com
• Preferences — for example last sync time and UI preferences such as theme

On github.com, content scripts use page context (such as the current repository URL) only to show tagging and refresh UI. StarDeck does not sell, rent, or share this data with third parties.

How data is used

• Validate your token and identify your GitHub account
• Sync and search your starred repositories locally
• Store and apply the custom tags you create
• Remember extension settings on this browser

Data is used only to provide StarDeck’s single purpose: organizing GitHub stars. It is not used for advertising, credit decisions, or unrelated profiling.

Where data goes

Network requests are made only to api.github.com to validate your token and fetch starred repositories. Your token and local cache are not sent to any StarDeck server — StarDeck has no backend.

Data retention & deletion

• Data remains in this browser’s extension storage until you clear it or uninstall
• Use Disconnect in the side panel or Revoke token in Settings to remove the token and local data
• Uninstalling StarDeck removes stored extension data from Chrome
• You can also revoke or delete the PAT on GitHub at github.com/settings/tokens

Children’s privacy

StarDeck is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will be revised. Continued use of the extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.
