3362

66+
## Privacy & Security
67+
68+
**This app is 100% client-side** - there is no backend server:
69+
-**No data collection**: We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data
70+
-**No tracking**: No analytics, no cookies, no third-party scripts
71+
-**Local storage only**: Your GitHub token and cached data stay in your browser's localStorage
72+
-**Direct API calls**: All requests go directly from your browser to GitHub's API
73+
-**Open source**: Full source code available for inspection
74+
-**No accounts**: No sign-up, no login, no personal information required
75+
76+
Your privacy is protected because the app runs entirely in your browser. When you close the tab, nothing persists except the localStorage cache (which you can clear at any time).
