Privacy Policy

Effective as of August 28, 2026

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to Gistify ("we", "our", or "the Platform"). We take your privacy and developer data confidentiality seriously. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, store, process, and protect your information when you share snippets, synchronize GitHub Gists, or use your developer profile.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to deliver our services: • GitHub Profile Data: GitHub Username, Display Name, Avatar URL, and primary email via secure OAuth scope (read:user, user:email, gist). • User Generated Content: Source code files, snippet descriptions, categories/tags, comments, and profile bio. • Technical & Usage Metrics: Snippet star counts, view counts, clone/copy frequency, and developer badge milestones. • Local Storage: Language preference (EN/ID) and preferred syntax themes. We NEVER store plain-text passwords or financial payment information.

3. How We Protect Your Code & Passwords

• Password-Protected Snippets: Passwords assigned to lock private snippets are hashed using cryptographic SHA-256 and verified strictly on the server before content delivery. • Secret Links: Unlisted snippets are accessible solely via their unique cryptographically random URL. • Infrastructure Security: Data is persisted on Supabase PostgreSQL with strict Row Level Security (RLS) policies ensuring users can only modify their own snippets.

4. GitHub API & Two-Way Synchronization

When you use the Gist Sync feature, requests are authenticated using scoped GitHub tokens directly to the official GitHub API. We do not inspect, retain, or store private repository code outside of the snippets you explicitly import or sync.

5. Zero Third-Party Tracking & Advertising

Gistify is built for developers. We do NOT use invasive advertising trackers, ad networks, or sell user profiling data to third-party brokers. Your code belongs strictly to you.

6. User Rights & Data Deletion

You have complete sovereignty over your data. You may delete individual snippets, unlink your GitHub account, or request complete account erasure at any time directly through the platform or by contacting @Muh4r / GitHub @kyiov.
