Privacy policy

What PR Sift stores, where it stays, and what it never sends.

PR Sift does not collect, transmit or sell any data. It has no server, analytics or tracking.

What it stores

Everything is stored locally with chrome.storage.local:

  • your settings (filters, layout, remembered choices);
  • which files you marked as viewed, per pull request;
  • your private notes, per pull request;
  • an optional GitHub token, if you add one. It is never synced and only sent to api.github.com.

Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.

Network access

| Host | Why | | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | github.com | Read the pull request's diff and title with your existing login | | patch-diff.githubusercontent.com | GitHub redirects some .diff downloads here | | api.github.com | Only when you add a token: fallback reading and posting notes as comments |

PR Sift never sends your notes, code or token anywhere else. Notes are posted to GitHub only when you press **Post to GitHub** and confirm.

**Copy for …** puts your notes on the clipboard. For Claude or ChatGPT it also opens the site in a new tab. PR Sift sends nothing to any assistant; you paste the notes yourself.

Permissions

  • storage: the local data above.
  • Host access to the three hosts above, and nothing else.
