🐝 BeeCommit

1. Introduction

Welcome to BeeCommit! This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By using BeeCommit, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

BeeCommit collects and processes the following types of information:

2.1 Information You Provide

• GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT): You provide this token to enable the extension to interact with your GitHub repository.
• GitHub Repository Information: The name and owner of the repository where you want to save your solutions.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Beecrowd Submission Data: When you use the extension, it accesses your accepted submissions on Beecrowd, including problem ID, source code, and programming language.
• Browser Storage: Your configuration (GitHub token and repository) is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's sync storage.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• To authenticate with the GitHub API using your Personal Access Token
• To retrieve your accepted solutions from Beecrowd
• To create, update, and organize files in your specified GitHub repository
• To provide commit messages for your synced solutions

We do NOT use your information for analytics, advertising, or any other purpose not directly related to the extension's core functionality.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data security is our priority:

• Local Storage Only: Your GitHub token and repository settings are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.sync).
• No External Servers: BeeCommit does not send your data to any external servers owned or operated by us. All communication happens directly between your browser and GitHub's API.
• Encryption: Communication with GitHub's API is done over HTTPS, ensuring your data is encrypted in transit.
• Token Security: We recommend using a fine-grained Personal Access Token with minimal permissions (only "Contents: Read and Write" for your specific repository).

5. Third-Party Services

BeeCommit interacts with the following third-party services:

5.1 GitHub API

The extension uses the GitHub API to create and update files in your repository. Please review GitHub's Privacy Policy for information on how GitHub handles your data.

5.2 Beecrowd

The extension reads submission data from Beecrowd's website when you are logged in. We do not store or transmit your Beecrowd credentials. Please review Beecrowd's Privacy Policy for more information.

6. Permissions Explained

BeeCommit requires the following Chrome permissions:

• storage: To save your GitHub token and repository settings locally in your browser.
• host_permissions (judge.beecrowd.com, www.beecrowd.com): To interact with Beecrowd pages and retrieve your submission data.
• host_permissions (api.github.com): To communicate with the GitHub API for committing your solutions.

These permissions are necessary for the extension to function and are not used for any other purpose.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Your GitHub token and repository settings remain in your browser's storage until you manually delete them. You can remove all stored data at any time by:

• Uninstalling the BeeCommit extension from Chrome
• Clearing the extension's configuration through the extension popup
• Clearing your browser's storage data

Once deleted, this information cannot be recovered, and you will need to reconfigure the extension.

8. Children's Privacy

BeeCommit is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of BeeCommit after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the data stored by the extension in your browser
• Delete your data at any time by uninstalling the extension or clearing your browser storage
• Revoke the GitHub Personal Access Token at any time through your GitHub account settings

11. Open Source
