Privacy Policy - GitHub Link Creator

Effective Date: April 21, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the "GitHub Link Creator (Auto link)" Chrome extension ("the Extension", "we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use our Extension.

Introduction

GitHub Link Creator is a Chrome extension that automatically detects patterns (like JIRA-123) on webpages and creates buttons with links to GitHub pull requests and commits. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information.

Information We Collect

The Extension collects and stores the following information:

• Configuration preferences: The regular expression pattern, URL templates, enabled/disabled status, and excluded pages you configure.
• Current tab URL: Used to determine if the current page should be excluded from pattern matching.

This information is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage sync API, which means it may be synchronized across your Chrome browsers if you're signed in with the same Google account.

How We Use Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

• To provide the core functionality of the Extension (matching patterns and creating links)
• To remember your preferences and configuration settings
• To determine if the current page should be processed or excluded

Data Storage and Sharing

All configuration data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. We do not:

• Send your data to external servers
• Share your data with third parties
• Use your data for advertising or tracking purposes

Your data remains on your device unless you've enabled Chrome sync, in which case Google may sync this data across your devices according to your Chrome settings.

Permissions

The Extension requires the following permissions for the stated purposes:

• storage: To save your configuration preferences
• activeTab: To access the current tab's content for pattern matching
• tabs: To determine the current tab's URL for exclusion checking

Your Choices

You have control over your data and can:

• Disable the Extension globally or for specific pages
• Modify the pattern matching and URL templates at any time
• Uninstall the Extension, which will remove all stored configuration data

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

The Extension is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
