WalkthroughAdded Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents for OrgExplorer. The documents describe licensing, GitHub integration, browser-local data handling, security, liability, and contact terms. Footer links now target the corresponding GitHub Markdown files. ChangesPolicy documents and publication links
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR publishes terms and privacy documents whose current wording misstates authenticated GitHub access, token exposure, third-party requests, data retention, licensing, and the responsible legal entity. These inaccuracies could mislead users about data handling and applicable rights, so the PR is not merge-ready until the major disclosures and legal details are corrected.

Inline comments:
In `@privacy-policy.md`:
- Around line 117-135: Update the GitHub Personal Access Token documentation to
disclose that any JavaScript running on the OrgExplorer origin, including
XSS-injected code, can read the token stored under oe_pat in localStorage.
Recommend short-lived, least-privilege tokens and, if product requirements
permit, use non-persistent token storage instead of localStorage.
- Around line 95-101: Format the diagram’s Markdown code fence by adding a blank
line before it and specifying text as the fence language, while preserving the
diagram content unchanged.
- Around line 88-107: Update the “Data Sharing and Disclosure” section to narrow
its claims: state that OrgExplorer does not sell or share data with OrgExplorer
or its maintainers, and separately disclose that GitHub receives API requests,
provided tokens, and hosting traffic under GitHub’s own policies. Remove the
absolute claim that there is no data collection and that GitHub API
communication is the only external communication.
- Around line 41-56: Update the “Data stored locally on your device” section to
document retention and removal behavior: note that oe_recent stores up to six
searches with no in-app removal, oe_theme persists until browser storage is
cleared, IndexedDB entries expire after one hour but are not automatically
deleted and can be cleared from Settings, oe_rate_limit is removed at reset, and
oe_pat is removed when deleted from Settings.
In `@terms-of-service.md`:
- Line 202: Ensure terms-of-service.md ends with exactly one trailing newline
character, without changing its content.
- Around line 43-52: Update the rights section in the terms document to identify
the repository license explicitly as GNU GPL v3.0. Replace the blanket ownership
claim for displayed data with precise language distinguishing user-generated
content, repository metadata, and rights governed by GitHub’s Terms of Service,
consistent with the terminology and disclosures in privacy-policy.md.
- Around line 137-150: Update the privacy disclosure in privacy-policy.md to
identify jsDelivr as an external service used by index.html for CSS and
JavaScript, and disclose that the request may expose connection metadata such as
the user’s IP address. Keep the existing GitHub and local-storage disclosures
intact.
- Around line 181-185: Update the Governing Law and Dispute Resolution section
to name Australian Open Source Software Innovation and Education (ABN 32 743 493
466) as the maintaining entity, replace the location-based governing-law wording
with Australian Capital Territory law, and specify the appropriate ACT dispute
forum following legal review; preserve the informal-resolution step.
- Line 7: The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy must not characterize all
retrieved GitHub data as public-only; update their descriptions to acknowledge
data accessed through the user’s authorization, including private or internal
resources. Also separate authenticated cache entries from unauthenticated
URL-only entries and clear protected cached responses whenever the token or
authentication state changes.

Narrow the third-party disclosure.
The wording conflicts with the policy's own statements that the browser sends token-authenticated requests to GitHub and that GitHub hosts the site and may collect hosting logs. The claims that OrgExplorer does not “share” data and that the GitHub API is the “only external communication” are too broad.
State that OrgExplorer does not sell or share data with OrgExplorer or its maintainers. Separately state that GitHub receives API requests, tokens when provided, and hosting traffic under its own policies.

| ### GitHub Personal Access Token | ||
|
|
||
| If you choose to provide a GitHub Personal Access Token: | ||
|
|
||
| - It is stored only in your browser's `localStorage` | ||
| - It is sent only to GitHub's API | ||
| - It is never logged by OrgExplorer | ||
| - It is never transmitted to OrgExplorer servers | ||
|
|
||
| ### Token Safety Recommendations | ||
|
|
||
| We recommend: | ||
|
|
||
| - Using a token with the minimum permissions required | ||
| - Avoiding unnecessary scopes | ||
| - Revoking your token from GitHub settings if you suspect misuse | ||
|
|
||
| Please note that browser `localStorage` is not encrypted. | ||

Document the localStorage credential risk.
Lines 27-80 of src/context/AppContext.jsx persist the token under oe_pat in localStorage. Any JavaScript executing on the OrgExplorer origin can read that value, including code introduced through an XSS compromise. Saying only that localStorage is not encrypted does not describe this access risk.
If token persistence remains, disclose the same-origin script risk and recommend a short-lived, least-privilege token. Prefer non-persistent token storage if the product requirements allow it.

GitHub REST API list organization repositories authenticated private repositories visibility parameter documentation
💡 Result:
The GitHub REST API endpoint to list repositories for an organization is GET /orgs/{org}/repos [1][2]. To filter the repositories returned by this endpoint, you should use the type parameter in your query string [1][3]. The type parameter allows you to specify the repository types you want to retrieve and accepts the following values: all, public, private, forks, sources, and member [2][4]. If your organization is part of an enterprise account (using GitHub Enterprise Cloud or supported versions of GitHub Enterprise Server), the type parameter also supports the internal value [1][3][5]. Please note the following regarding repository visibility and the API: 1. Visibility Filtering: The type parameter is the standard way to filter by repository visibility (e.g., using type=private to list only private repositories) [2][3]. 2. Visibility Parameter: While the GitHub API documentation includes a visibility parameter, it is primarily used for creating or updating repositories (as a body parameter), not for filtering the list of existing repositories returned by GET /orgs/{org}/repos [1][2][6]. 3. Enterprise Context: In some older or specific enterprise environments, documentation may reference the use of specific preview headers (like nebula-preview) or different behavior for the visibility parameter, but for current standard usage, you should rely on the type query parameter [3][6][5]. For authenticated requests, ensure you provide a valid personal access token or installation access token in the Authorization header to access private repositories you have permission to view [1][3][7].

Do not describe authenticated GitHub data as public-only.
The client sends Authorization when pat is present, but /orgs/{org}/repos has no type=public filter. The contributors, issues, pull requests, and search requests also use the token. GitHub can return private or internal data that the token can access. Update the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to describe GitHub data retrieved under the user’s authorization, or enforce public-only requests.
The URL-only IndexedDB cache is checked before authentication. A cached protected response can therefore remain available after the token is removed. Use separate authenticated cache handling and clear protected data when authentication changes.
