Effective Date: 2025-03-11 Last Updated: 2025-03-21

Welcome to GitHub Unfollow Checker. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data We Collect

We collect the following personal data to provide our services:

  • GitHub Access Token – Used to interact with the GitHub API (not stored permanently).
  • GitHub Followers & Following – Used to show user connections.
  • GitHub Profile Data – Used to display user information.

We do not collect or process any sensitive personal data (e.g., payment details, addresses, or emails).

2. How We Collect Data

We collect data when users log in with GitHub via Auth.js. This allows us to access necessary GitHub API functionalities to provide our services.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

We collect and process user data for the following purposes:

  • To connect to the GitHub API and view unfollowers, not mutuals, followers, and following.
  • To allow users to follow or unfollow other users directly from our platform.
  • To allow users to whitelist certain followers they don’t want to unfollow.
  • To enhance user experience.

We do not use this data for marketing, advertising, or any other purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process user data based on:

  • User Consent – Users grant permission by logging in with GitHub.
  • Legitimate Interest – We require access to GitHub data to provide our core service.

5. User Rights

As a user, you have the following rights under GDPR:

  • Access: You can request a copy of your personal data directly from GitHub.
  • Deletion: Since we do not store your data permanently, you can revoke our access to your GitHub data by disconnecting our application from your GitHub account.
  • Correction: Any updates to your data should be made directly in GitHub, as we only process GitHub data.
  • Data Portability: You can request your data directly from GitHub in a structured format.

To exercise any of these rights, please refer to GitHub's privacy settings or contact GitHub support.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with any third parties.

7. Security Measures

We take data protection seriously. Our security measures include:

  • Authentication & Authorization via Auth.js.
  • Secure Hosting on Vercel.
  • Access Controls to limit data exposure.

8. Data Retention

We retain user data only while the user is actively using our service. If a user stops using our service, the data is no longer processed.

9. International Data Transfers

As we use third-party services like Vercel, user data may be transferred outside the EU. We ensure that all data transfers comply with GDPR safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Users will be notified of significant changes via a website notice.
