+# Security
+
+* To use hourly data from ToarDB via JOIN interface, a private token is required. Request your personal access token and
+add it to `src/join_settings.py` in the hourly data section. Replace the `TOAR_SERVICE_URL` and the `Authorization` 
+value. To make sure, that this **sensitive** data is not uploaded to the remote server, use the following command to
+prevent git from tracking this file: `git update-index --assume-unchanged src/join_settings.py
+`
