Overview
GitPocket is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
Data We Collect
GitHub OAuth Token
When you sign in with GitHub, we receive an OAuth access token that allows the app to access your GitHub data on your behalf. This token is:
- Stored securely in iOS Keychain on your device
- Never transmitted to our servers (we don't have servers)
- Only used to communicate directly with GitHub's API
- Removed immediately when you sign out
Cached Data
To provide a better offline experience, GitPocket caches some GitHub data locally on your device:
- Repository information and file contents
- Gist content
- Release information
- User profile data
All cached data is stored locally on your device and is automatically cleared when you sign out or uninstall the app.
Website Analytics
Our website (gitpocket.app) uses Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous usage data:
- Page views and visitor counts
- Referral sources
- General geographic region (country-level only)
- Device type and browser information
This data is anonymized, does not identify individual users, and is used solely to improve the website experience. For more information, see Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy (opens in new tab).
Data We Do NOT Collect
- No App Analytics: The iOS app does not collect any usage analytics or telemetry data
- No Passwords: We never see or store your GitHub password. Authentication is handled via OAuth
- No Personal Information: We do not collect email addresses, names, or other personal data beyond what GitHub provides via their API
