Your Data Rights
Your data belongs to you. Geneziz stores everything locally on your computer in open formats (markdown, YAML, JSON). You can access, edit, export, or delete it at any time.
What We Collect

- GitHub starred repositories (names, descriptions, README content)
- AI enrichment results (categories, tags, priorities)
- Your license key and activation codes
- Credit balance (mirrored locally for offline display)
On our server (api.geneziz.app):
- Email address (provided during purchase or registration)
- License key → email mapping (for delivery + support lookups)
- Credit balance (authoritative source)
- Purchase history (Stripe session IDs, product type, amount)

- Default (Proxy mode): Bookmarks are sent to our Gemini Flash proxy for enrichment. Text content only: no media, passwords, or credentials.
- BYOK mode: You provide your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible). Data goes directly to your chosen provider. We never see it.
- Payments: Stripe processes payments. We receive your email + purchase confirmation via webhook.
- Email delivery: License keys sent via Resend (smtp.resend.com). Email address used solely for delivery.
Withdraw Cookie Consent
Remove your X.com credentials from the config file:
- Open
geneziz.config.json - Disconnect the source in Settings → Connections (or clear the corresponding credentials in your config file)
- Or delete the entire file
