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.
