Privacy Policy

Overview

Shared Repo is a browser extension that helps users view and manage their GitHub repositories in one place. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your data.

Information We Collect

Shared Repo does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to external servers.

The extension may access the following information:

• GitHub repository data (via the GitHub API)
• Pull requests, issues, and activity related to your repositories
• Your GitHub username (implicitly via API usage)

Authentication Data

To access GitHub data, users may provide a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT).

• This token is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API
• The token is never transmitted to any third-party server
• The token is only used to authenticate requests to the official GitHub API

How We Use Information

The accessed data is used solely to:

• Display your repositories
• Show repository activity (commits, pull requests, issues)
• Highlight items that may need your attention

No data is used for tracking, analytics, advertising, or profiling.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to any third parties.

All communication happens directly between your browser and the GitHub API.

Data Storage

• All data (including your GitHub token) is stored locally in your browser
• No data is stored on external servers

Permissions Justification

Shared Repo requests only the permissions it needs to function:

• storage — to save your settings and securely store your GitHub token locally in the browser
• alarms — to periodically refresh repository, pull request, and issue data in the background
• tabs — to open repository, pull request, and issue links in the active browser window
• Host access to github.com and api.github.com — to fetch repository, pull request, and issue data from GitHub

Third-Party Services

This extension interacts only with:

• GitHub API (https://api.github.com)

Shared Repo is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub.

Security

We take reasonable measures to ensure your data remains secure by:

• Storing sensitive data locally only
• Not transmitting data to external servers
• Using HTTPS for all API communication

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated in the future. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
