Privacy Policy

EffortlessDocs ("we", "our", or "the Service") is a developer tool that generates and maintains documentation from source code repositories. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google OAuth. We use this solely to authenticate you and create your account.

GitHub Data: When you install our GitHub App, we access repository metadata, file contents, commits, and pull requests for the repositories you authorize. This data is used to generate documentation, release notes, and detect documentation drift.

Notion Data: If you connect Notion, we access your workspace to publish documentation pages. We only write to pages you explicitly choose to publish to.

Generated Content: We store documentation, release notes, and related metadata that our Service generates from your code.

We use your information to:

• Authenticate you and manage your account
• Read your authorized repositories to generate documentation and release notes
• Detect when documentation has drifted from the current state of your code
• Publish documentation to your connected Notion workspace
• Improve and maintain the Service

Your data is stored in Supabase (hosted on AWS). We use encryption in transit (TLS) for all communications. Repository file contents are processed to generate embeddings and documentation but are not stored in raw form beyond what is needed for the Service to function.

We use the following third-party services to operate:

• Google OAuth — for authentication
• GitHub API — to access your authorized repositories
• Notion API — to publish documentation to your workspace
• OpenAI API — to generate documentation and embeddings (your code is sent to OpenAI for processing; refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy)
• Supabase — for database and authentication infrastructure
• Vercel — for hosting

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. When you disconnect a repository or revoke the GitHub App installation, we stop accessing that repository's data.

You may:

• Revoke our GitHub App access at any time through GitHub Settings
• Disconnect your Notion workspace at any time
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data
• Request a copy of the data we hold about you

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please open an issue on our GitHub repository or contact us at the email associated with your account.
