Notice
Star Me generates animated SVG prompts for GitHub repositories. This page describes the data processed by the service as currently implemented.
What data Star Me processes
- The repository identifier you submit, such as
owner/repo. - An optional GitHub personal access token if you provide one.
- Generated SVG previews and related cache metadata.
- Basic request metadata handled by hosting infrastructure, such as IP address, user agent, and request timing.
Why this data is used
- To request repository data from the GitHub API and render the animation.
- To improve performance through local and server-side caching.
- To debug failures, rate-limit issues, or service abuse.
How tokens are handled
If you enter a GitHub token, it is stored in your browser local storage and sent in the request header to generate your preview. The token is not placed in the page URL.
Personal-token requests bypass shared server caching for the generated SVG so one user's token is not reused for another user's request.
Where data is processed
- Your browser stores the optional token and local preview cache.
- Cloudflare Workers and R2 are used to process requests and cache generated assets.
- GitHub receives repository API requests when Star Me loads repository data.
Retention
The browser-side preview cache is currently retained for about one hour unless you clear it sooner. A saved token remains in local storage until you remove it. Server-side cache retention depends on current cache configuration and hosting behavior.
Your choices
- You can use the service without entering a personal token for public repositories.
- You can remove a saved token from this browser using the delete control in the token panel.
- You can clear local preview cache by refreshing the preview after deleting stored data from the browser.
