GitBrief Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

GitBrief is a Chrome browser extension that analyzes GitHub pull requests using AI. This privacy policy explains how GitBrief handles your data.

Data Collection

GitBrief does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to any server operated by GitBrief or any third party.

Data Handling

API Keys

  • You provide your own Anthropic API key and optional GitHub token.
  • These keys are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's encrypted extension storage (chrome.storage.sync).
  • Keys are never transmitted anywhere except directly to the respective API services (Anthropic and GitHub) when you initiate an analysis.

Pull Request Data

  • When you click "Analyze," GitBrief fetches the pull request diff and metadata directly from the GitHub API using your browser.
  • This data is sent to the Anthropic API for analysis.
  • No pull request data is stored, cached, or logged by GitBrief.
  • All API calls are made directly from your browser — there is no intermediary server.

No Analytics or Tracking

  • GitBrief does not include any analytics, telemetry, or tracking code.
  • GitBrief does not use cookies.
  • GitBrief does not collect usage statistics.

Third-Party Services

GitBrief makes requests to the following services using your own API keys:

  • GitHub API (api.github.com) — to fetch pull request metadata and diffs
  • Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com) — to analyze diffs with Claude

These services have their own privacy policies:

Permissions

GitBrief requests the following browser permissions:

Permission Purpose
storage Store your API keys in Chrome's encrypted extension storage
activeTab Read the URL of the active tab to detect GitHub PR pages
host_permissions Make API requests to GitHub and Anthropic

Changes

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be published in the GitBrief GitHub repository.
