Privacy Policy for Git In Sight

This Privacy Policy explains how the Git In Sight Chrome extension ("Extension") handles data.

In this policy, "git hosting platforms" means the following platform: GitHub (github.com and api.github.com). No other git hosting platforms are supported at this time.

What the Extension does

Git In Sight scans pages in your browser for links to repositories on git hosting platforms and adds repository star count and activity indicators next to those links.

Data we process

The Extension processes the following data:

• Repository link data on pages you visit: links are examined locally in your browser to detect repository URLs from git hosting platforms.
• Optional personal access token for git hosting platforms: if you enter a token in the Extension popup, it is stored using Chrome Sync storage in your browser profile.
• Repository metadata cache: star counts and last push timestamps returned by git hosting platform APIs are cached in Chrome Local storage.

How data is used

• To fetch repository metadata from git hosting platform APIs and display annotations in-page.
• To improve API reliability and performance by caching results for a limited period.
• To optionally use your token for higher API rate limits on git hosting platforms.

Where data goes

The Extension sends requests only to API endpoints of git hosting platforms to retrieve repository metadata. If you provide a token, it is sent only to the relevant git hosting platform API as an Authorization header.

The developer of Git In Sight does not operate a backend server for this Extension and does not receive your browsing data or token directly.

Data sharing and selling

Git In Sight does not sell personal information and does not share your data with third parties, except that requests are made directly to git hosting platforms as described above.

User controls

• You can use the Extension without entering a personal access token.
• You can clear the saved token at any time from the Extension popup.
• You can remove all Extension data by uninstalling the Extension.

Security

The Extension uses Chrome extension storage mechanisms and sends requests over HTTPS.
