2. Data We Collect
Account data: When you sign in via GitHub, we receive your GitHub username, public email address, and avatar. We store these to identify your account.
Repository data: Via GitHub App installation, we access the list of repositories you grant access to, commit messages, and release metadata. We use this solely to generate changelogs.
Subscriber data: Email addresses and names of people who subscribe to your changelog. These are stored on your behalf and used only to deliver your releases.
Billing data: Payments are handled by Stripe. We store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status. We do not store card numbers or full payment details.
Usage data: We collect basic logs (page visits, errors) for debugging and service improvement.
