YOUR PLACE IN THE COLLECTION
Your bookings
Reports retain the most recent 90 days. An impression is counted after the card is at least half visible for one second; clicks are deduplicated per impression token. These are operational counts, not independently audited analytics.
A small placement. Clear terms.
US$99 buys one approved, site-wide sponsor card for the selected seven-day UTC period. It does not buy repository inclusion, ranking changes, endorsements, or a guaranteed number of visits, clicks, sales, or search-engine benefits.
Submit only products you are authorized to represent. We accept relevant developer products and services. Misleading claims, malicious destinations, adult content, gambling, and impersonation are not accepted. Advertised links must remain consistent with the approved product. Creative changes need a new review.
New ads are reviewed before payment. Review reservations expire after 48 hours; approved reservations expire if not paid within the next 48 hours. During Stripe checkout your reservation remains protected until the payment service confirms payment or expiration. No subscription is created.
You can cancel an unpaid submission in Your bookings. To cancel a paid sponsorship, contact support before its scheduled start for a full refund. If we cancel or cannot provide your placement, we issue a full refund. After a placement starts, we do not promise refunds for low traffic or results. Refund processing time depends on your payment provider.
Purchasing is unavailable until our business and support details are configured.
Your data, kept purposeful.
Browsing the collection does not require an account. Sponsorship booking uses ChatGPT sign-in to identify your bookings. We store your account identifier, email, submitted creative, dates, payment references and booking status. Stripe collects payment details; HackerRepos never receives your card number.
We count page views, public repository page paths, referring domains, visits to GitHub, sponsor impressions and clicks without selling browsing interests or sending your saved collection to advertisers. Analytics does not store search text, full referring URLs, cookies or persistent visitor identifiers; traffic tracking respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. A short-lived hashed network identifier is used for request limits; it is deleted after expiration. Analytics events are retained for 90 days. Email delivery, when enabled, uses Resend for booking notifications. Hosting and account sign-in use OpenAI Sites. Contact support for access or deletion requests; payment-related records may need to be retained.
