Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 17, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to GitSync. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use GitSync, a tool for syncing Git repositories across different platforms and local storage.
2. Information We Collect
GitSync is designed to operate primarily on your local machine. We collect minimal information:
- Repository Information: GitSync accesses repository URLs, branches, and commit data that you configure for syncing purposes only.
- Configuration Data: Settings and preferences you set within GitSync are stored locally on your device.
- Authentication Tokens: If you provide API tokens or credentials for Git services, these are stored securely on your local system and are never transmitted to our servers.
- Usage Analytics: If enabled, anonymous usage statistics such as feature usage and error reports to help improve GitSync.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information solely to provide and improve GitSync functionality. Your repository data and authentication credentials remain on your local machine and are used exclusively for syncing operations you initiate. Anonymous analytics help us understand feature usage and identify bugs.
4. Data Storage and Security
GitSync stores all configuration and authentication data locally on your device. We employ industry-standard encryption for stored credentials. No repository content or authentication tokens are transmitted to our servers. You maintain complete control over your data and can delete it at any time by removing GitSync configuration files.
5. Third-Party Services
GitSync integrates with third-party Git hosting services (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc.) based on your configuration. When you use these integrations, their respective privacy policies and terms of service apply. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any Git hosting service you connect to GitSync.
6. Your Rights
You have complete control over your data in GitSync. You can view, modify, or delete your configuration and stored credentials at any time. You can disable analytics collection in the settings. Since data is stored locally, you can completely remove GitSync and all associated data from your system at any time.
7. Children's Privacy
GitSync is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes through the GitSync application or our website. Continued use of GitSync after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
