Privacy Policy — Merge Request Tracker

Last updated: 2 June 2026

Merge Request Tracker (“the extension”) is a browser extension that displays your GitLab, GitHub, and Bitbucket merge/pull requests and notifies you when their status changes.

Summary

• The extension runs entirely in your browser.
• It has no backend server. The developer never receives, stores, or sees any of your data.
• Your credentials and data never leave your device, except for the API requests your browser makes directly to the Git provider you configured.
• There is no analytics, tracking, advertising, or third‑party data sharing.

What data the extension handles

Data	Where it comes from	Where it is stored	Purpose
Access tokens / app passwords	You enter them in Settings	chrome.storage.local on your device only	Authenticate API requests to your provider
Account settings (host, workspace, scope, filters)	You enter them in Settings	chrome.storage.local on your device only	Configure what to fetch
Merge/pull request metadata (title, state, author, URL)	The provider’s API	chrome.storage.local on your device only	Display the list and detect status changes for notifications

All storage is local to your browser profile. None of it is transmitted to the developer or any third party.

Where your data goes

When syncing, your browser sends authenticated HTTPS requests directly to the host(s) you configured, for example:

• https://gitlab.com (or your self‑hosted GitLab)
• https://api.github.com (or GitHub Enterprise)
• https://api.bitbucket.org

These requests go from your device straight to the provider. They do not pass through any server operated by the developer.

Permissions and why they are needed

• storage — save your settings and cached requests locally.
• alarms — schedule periodic background syncs.
• notifications — show desktop notifications for new/changed requests.
• Host access to the provider APIs above — make the read requests that fetch your merge/pull requests. Self‑hosted hosts are requested only when you add a custom host, and only with your explicit approval.

Data retention and deletion

• Data persists locally until you remove it.
• Clearing the token fields and saving deletes the stored credentials.
• Uninstalling the extension permanently deletes all locally stored data.

Data sale and sharing

The developer does not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone. No data is collected by the developer in the first place.

Changes to this policy

Any changes will be reflected in this document with an updated date.
