>_ commit it — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Commit It is a Chrome extension that lets you commit your SQL, Python, and other practice work directly to your GitHub account. This page explains what data the extension accesses and how it is handled.

What data the extension accesses

• GitHub Personal Access Token — you paste this into the extension's settings page. It is stored only in chrome.storage.local on your device and is never sent to any server other than api.github.com.
• Your GitHub username — fetched from api.github.com/user using your token, and stored locally alongside the token so the extension can identify the correct account.
• Page text and selected text — when you open the extension popup, it reads any text you have selected on the current page and (optionally) the visible text of the page for summarisation. This text is processed entirely on your device — it is never uploaded to any external server. If you use the on-device Summariser feature, processing is done by Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model running locally.
• Page title and URL — used only to generate a suggested filename for the commit. Not stored or transmitted beyond the commit message you choose to send to GitHub.

What we do NOT collect

• We do not operate any backend server or database.
• We do not collect analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics.
• We do not share any data with third parties.
• We do not store your GitHub token outside your own browser.

Data storage

All settings (token, username, preferences) are stored using chrome.storage.local, which is local to your browser profile and is not synced to the cloud. You can remove all stored data at any time by clicking Disconnect in the extension's settings page, or by removing the extension from Chrome.

Third-party services

The only external service this extension communicates with is the GitHub REST API (api.github.com), and only when you explicitly trigger a commit action. GitHub's own privacy policy applies to data sent to GitHub.
