Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 28, 2026 · An IANternet Media project
Short version: GiggityRepo does not require an account, does not sell your data, and does not track you across the web. The data we store is limited to server logs and the public GitHub data we index for rankings.
1. Who We Are
GiggityRepo is a GitHub repository discovery and ranking service operated by IANternet Media ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use giggityrepo.com (the "Service").
GiggityRepo is an independent project and is not affiliated with GitHub, Inc. or Microsoft Corporation.
2. Data We Collect at a Glance
| Category | What it includes | Do we sell it? |
|---|---|---|
| Server & edge logs | IP address, request path, response code, timestamp, User-Agent | No |
| GitHub public data | Repository metadata, star counts, contributor statistics (all public) | No |
| Performance & error data | Worker CPU time, exception traces — no PII included | No |
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Automatically Collected Data
When you visit GiggityRepo, our infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare's global network) may automatically record:
- IP address — used for rate-limiting, abuse prevention, and geographic load-balancing
- Browser and device information — User-Agent string, referring URL
- Request details — the URL path you accessed, HTTP method, response status, and bytes transferred
- Timestamps — date and time of each request
This data is processed by Cloudflare as our infrastructure provider. We do not operate our own server-side analytics beyond what Cloudflare provides in aggregate dashboards.
3.2 GitHub Public Data
GiggityRepo indexes publicly available repository data from the GitHub GraphQL API. This includes:
- Repository names, descriptions, topics, and primary programming language
- Star counts, fork counts, and their change over time
- Commit activity counts and contributor counts (sampled from public commit history)
- Repository creation and last-push timestamps
- Repository owner usernames and public avatar URLs
All of this data is publicly visible on GitHub. We do not access private repositories, private user information, email addresses, or any data that is not already public on GitHub's platform.
3.3 No Account or User Data
GiggityRepo has no user accounts, no login, no registration, and no sign-up forms. We do not knowingly collect personal information from visitors beyond the server log data described above.
3.4 Cookies and Local Storage
GiggityRepo does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics scripts. The site may use your browser's localStorage or session storage to remember your UI preferences (such as which ranking board you last viewed) entirely on your device — this data never leaves your browser.
4. How We Use Information
We use the information described above solely to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Service
- Detect and prevent abuse, excessive API usage, or attacks on our infrastructure
- Compute ranking scores and trend data for the repositories we index
- Debug errors and diagnose performance problems
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the Service itself.
5. How We Share Information
5.1 Infrastructure Providers
Our Service runs on Cloudflare Workers and stores ranking data in Cloudflare D1 (a SQLite-based edge database). By using the Service, request data necessarily passes through Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare processes this data according to their own Privacy Policy.
5.2 GitHub
We make API calls to GitHub on our servers to retrieve public repository data. GitHub processes these requests according to their Privacy Statement. We do not send any visitor information to GitHub.
5.3 No Sale of Data
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any information to third parties for their commercial use.
5.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
6. Data Retention
Repository ranking snapshots are retained on a tiered schedule designed to balance historical analysis with storage efficiency:
- Hourly snapshots — retained for 7 days
- Daily snapshots — retained for 90 days
- Weekly snapshots — retained for 2 years
Server access logs are retained according to Cloudflare's standard log retention policies (typically up to 7 days in free/pro tiers). We do not maintain our own long-term log archives.
7. Children's Privacy
GiggityRepo is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the Service, including TLS encryption for all traffic, edge-level DDoS mitigation through Cloudflare, and access controls on our database. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information.
9. International Visitors
GiggityRepo is served from Cloudflare's global edge network. If you are located outside the jurisdiction where IANternet Media operates, your request data may be processed in data centres around the world as part of Cloudflare's normal operations. By using the Service, you consent to this processing.
10. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding personal data. Because GiggityRepo does not collect personal data beyond server logs (which typically contain only your IP address and request metadata), there is generally little personal data for us to provide, correct, or delete. However, if you have a specific request, please contact us.
- Access: You may request a summary of any personal data we hold about you
- Correction: You may request correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion: You may request deletion of personal data we hold
- Objection: You may object to certain processing of your data
Requests related to GitHub repository data (star counts, descriptions, contributor figures) are outside our control — that data is sourced from and governed by GitHub's own policies. To have your GitHub data corrected or removed, contact GitHub directly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will update the effective date at the top of this page when we do. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
