Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how CodePush ("we", "our", or "the extension") collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and strictly comply with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies.

1. Single Purpose

CodePush operates with a strict single purpose: to automatically extract successful coding solutions from competitive programming websites (LeetCode, CodeChef, Codeforces, GeeksForGeeks) and push them directly to a user's chosen GitHub repository. All data collection and usage is strictly limited to fulfilling this single purpose.

2. What Information We Collect

In order to provide our service, we collect the following limited types of information locally:

• Authentication Information: We store your GitHub OAuth token securely in Chrome's local storage. We use the GitHub Device Flow for authentication — no passwords are ever handled by us.
• Website Content: We read the code you submit and the metadata associated with the programming problem (e.g., problem title, difficulty level, and platform name) directly from the DOM of supported coding platforms.
• User Activity: We locally track the timestamps of your solved problems to power the extension's spaced repetition (SM-2) revision dashboard.
• Leaderboard Data: If you participate in the global leaderboard, your GitHub username, avatar URL, and selected repository name are stored in our secure database (Supabase). Your leaderboard score is calculated independently by a secure verification system — not by the extension itself.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information exclusively to provide the core functionality of CodePush:

• Your Authentication Information is used solely to authenticate and communicate directly with the official GitHub API to push your code.
• Your Website Content (Code) is used solely to be uploaded as a file to your designated GitHub repository.

4. Data Storage and Security

All authentication data is stored locally. Your authentication tokens, repository preferences, and problem-solving history are securely stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure local storage API (`chrome.storage.local`).

For the leaderboard feature, your public GitHub username, avatar, and repository name are stored in a secure, hosted database (Supabase). Leaderboard scores are verified and updated by a secure server-side process — the extension itself cannot modify scores, preventing any possibility of cheating.

We do not have any analytics trackers. Your code flows directly from your browser to GitHub's servers via their official API.

5. Mandatory Disclosures & Certifications

To comply with the Chrome Web Store policies, we explicitly certify the following:

• We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties, outside of the approved use cases (i.e., transmitting it to GitHub at your request).
• We do not use or transfer user data for purposes that are unrelated to the item's single purpose.
• We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

6. Open Source Verification

CodePush is a fully open-source project. Because our code is public, our data handling practices are transparent and can be independently verified by anyone at any time by reviewing our source code repository.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. By continuing to use the extension, you agree to the updated policy.
