GitHub Starred Lists is a Chrome extension that helps users sync, view, filter, and export their GitHub starred repositories and star lists.
Data We Process
The extension processes the following data:
- A user-provided GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)
- GitHub repository metadata returned by GitHub APIs (for example: repository name, URL, description, list membership, starred timestamp)
- User settings (for example: theme preference)
- Exported files (JSON/CSV) created only when the user requests export
How We Use Data
We use data only to provide the extension’s core functionality:
- Validate the PAT
- Sync starred repositories and lists from GitHub
- Display, filter, and export repository data in the extension UI
Storage and Retention
- Data is stored locally in the user’s browser using
chrome.storage.local.
- Exported files are saved locally to a location chosen by the user.
- We do not operate a backend server to store extension user data.
Data Sharing
- We do not sell user data.
- We do not share user data with third parties for advertising or marketing.
