Privacy Policy

GitHub Repo AI Summarizer ("we", "our", or "the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that provides AI-powered summaries of GitHub repositories. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how it's used.

📋 Information We Collect

The Extension collects no personal data and does not use any tracking, analytics, or advertising services.

🔑 API Keys (User-Provided)

• If you choose to provide your own API key (for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.), the key is stored locally in your browser's extension storage only (chrome.storage.local)
• API keys are never transmitted to any server other than the respective AI provider's API endpoint you've selected
• We do not have access to your API keys — they never leave your browser except for direct API calls to your chosen provider
• You can delete your keys at any time via the extension's Settings page

🌐 GitHub Data

• The Extension reads publicly available repository information from GitHub pages you visit
• This data (repo name, description, file structure, README content) is sent to your chosen AI provider's API to generate summaries
• No GitHub data is stored on our servers — we operate no backend infrastructure

🔒 Data Storage & Security

• All data is processed locally in your browser
• User preferences are stored in chrome.storage.local (browser-local)
• We do not collect, store, or transmit any usage statistics or user identifiers
• The Extension uses no cookies, trackers, or third-party analytics

🤖 Third-Party AI Providers

When you use the summarization feature, repository data is sent to the AI provider you select:

• MiniMax (default) — MiniMax Inc. API
• OpenAI — OpenAI LP API
• Anthropic — Anthropic PBC API
• Google Gemini — Google LLC API
• DeepSeek — DeepSeek AI API

Each provider has its own privacy policy governing how they handle API requests. By using a provider, you agree to their terms.

👥 Children's Privacy

This Extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
