GitPulse Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Data Collection

GitPulse does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing data, or usage analytics. There are no third-party trackers, no telemetry, and no external logging services.

Data Storage

All data used by the extension is stored exclusively on your device using Chrome's built-in storage APIs:

• GitHub personal access token — stored in chrome.storage.sync. This value never leaves your machine except via Chrome's sync infrastructure (encrypted in transit) if you have Chrome Sync enabled.
• Extension preferences — stored in chrome.storage.sync.
• Cached GitHub notifications — stored in chrome.storage.local. Cleared when the extension is removed.

Network Requests

The extension makes API requests exclusively to api.github.com (or your configured GitHub Enterprise instance) using your personal access token. No requests are made to any other servers.

Permissions

The extension requests the following Chrome permissions, each with a specific purpose:

• alarms — to poll GitHub for new notifications on a timer.
• storage — to save your token, settings, and cached notifications locally.
• notifications — to show desktop notifications for new GitHub activity (optional, can be disabled in settings).

Third Parties

GitPulse shares no data with any third party. The only external service contacted is GitHub's API, which is the service the extension is designed to interact with.
