Privacy Policy for GitHub Diff Filter Plus

Effective date: 2026-05-22

Author: Antoine Rato

GitHub Diff Filter Plus does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information whatsoever. This page describes what little data the extension touches and where it lives.

What the extension does with data

The extension stores one record locally, only when you explicitly opt in by enabling the “Remember last selection” setting in the popup:

• A boolean preference: whether to remember your last filter selection.
• If enabled: the list of file extensions you last applied as a filter on a Pull Request (e.g. [".cs", ".meta"]).

This data is stored exclusively via Chrome’s chrome.storage.sync API, which means:

• It lives only inside your own Chrome profile.
• It is synchronized between your Chrome installations only through your own Google account, using Google’s sync infrastructure.
• It is never sent to the extension author, to any server controlled by the author, or to any third party.
• The extension does not make any outgoing network request, ever.

If you uninstall the extension or disable the setting, this data is discarded.

What the extension does NOT do

• No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting.
• No tracking of which Pull Requests you view, which filters you apply, or how often you use the extension.
• No advertising identifiers, no fingerprinting.
• No remote code execution. All code is bundled with the extension and reviewed by Chrome Web Store before each release.
• No interaction with services other than GitHub itself (and only via the content script on https://github.com/* Pull Request pages).

Permissions requested

Permission	Why it is needed
storage	Persist the single preference described above.
host_permissions: https://github.com/*	Required so the content script can detect and enhance the native file filter dropdown on Pull Request pages.

No other permissions are requested.

Data sharing with third parties

None. The extension exchanges no data with any third party.

Children’s privacy

The extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly process any data from anyone, including children, beyond the local storage entry described above.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is ever updated, the new version will be published in this same file with a new “Effective date”. Since the extension is open source, the full history is visible in the public git log.
