Privacy policy.
Plain English, no dark patterns. This page describes what Git Pitcher collects, why, how long it's kept, and the controls you have.
Last updated · April 22, 2026
1. Who we are
Git Pitcher (“we”, “us”) is an independent software product operated by the founder listed on our About page. This policy applies to the website, the web app and any related services. Questions? Reach out via the LinkedIn link on the About page.
2. What we collect
Account data
- Email address and optional profile details provided through authentication (handled by Clerk).
- Authentication identifiers (Clerk user id, session tokens). We don't store passwords — Clerk does.
- Billing details: if you subscribe, Stripe processes your payment. We store only the Stripe customer id, plan, and status — never card numbers.
Usage data
- Repositories you submit: the URLs you paste are stored against your account so you can see past pitches in the dashboard.
- Generated outputs: the documents produced by Git Pitcher are stored so you can revisit, edit and export them.
- Product analytics: anonymised events (which pages you view, which features you use) via PostHog. Used to decide what to build next.
- Error reports: stack traces and request context via Sentry, so broken code gets fixed. Errors are tied to a pseudonymous user id, not your email.
What we don't collect
- Your private repository contents — unless you explicitly install the Git Pitcher GitHub App on that repo, in which case we read only what's needed to run the selected mode.
- Your card details, bank details or any other payment instrument.
- Personal data from your device beyond what a normal web browser exchanges (IP, user agent, basic device info).
3. Why we collect it
- To run the product: authentication, rate limits, showing your past pitches.
- To bill you correctly if you're on a paid plan.
- To improve the product: anonymised analytics tell us which modes are used and which features are ignored.
- To fix bugs: error monitoring so we don't ship broken streams for days without noticing.
- To contact you about critical product or account issues (never marketing without consent).
4. Who we share it with
We use third-party sub-processors to run the product:
- Clerk — authentication and session management.
- Stripe — payment processing and subscription management.
- Resend — transactional email (account, billing, pitch completion).
- PostHog — product analytics.
- Sentry — error monitoring.
- Railway — hosting infrastructure.
- LLM providers — we send the repository context required to generate the selected document. These providers are contractually barred from training on our prompts and outputs.
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with advertisers. We don't have advertisers.
5. How long we keep it
- Account data is kept while your account exists. Delete your account and we remove it within 30 days.
- Past pitches are kept indefinitely so you can refer back to them. Delete any pitch from the dashboard and it's gone immediately.
- Billing records are retained as long as required by tax and accounting law (typically 7 years).
- Analytics events are retained for 12 months.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Delete your account and all associated pitches.
- Export your past pitches in Markdown.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest (e.g. product analytics) — you can opt out at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact the founder via the LinkedIn link on the About page. We respond within 7 days.
7. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Passwords are never handled by us. Access to production data is limited to the founder. We run a small product — we have a correspondingly small attack surface — but we still rotate secrets regularly and review our sub-processors.
8. International transfers
Our infrastructure and sub-processors operate primarily in the US and EU. Where data is transferred across borders, we rely on the standard contractual clauses in place with each sub-processor.
9. Children
Git Pitcher is not intended for anyone under 16. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We'll update this page when the product changes. Material changes will be announced via email at least 14 days before taking effect. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version.
