Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 13, 2026
Effective Date: February 13, 2026

Overview

Context Bridge is a privacy-first browser extension that helps you share context with AI assistants. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

TL;DR: We collect almost nothing. Your context stays between you and GitHub.


What We Collect

Data We DO Collect

  1. GitHub Gist URL (stored locally in your browser)
    • Why: To fetch your context when you click the extension button
    • Where: Browser's local storage only (never leaves your device)
    • How long: Until you delete it or uninstall the extension

Data We DON'T Collect

We explicitly DO NOT collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your browsing history
  • Your AI conversations
  • Your GitHub credentials
  • Your personal information
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Error reports or crash data
  • Cookies or tracking data
  • IP addresses
  • Any identifiable information

How It Works

The Architecture

Your Browser → GitHub Gist → Your Browser → AI Platform
  1. You configure your GitHub Gist URL (once)
  2. You click the extension button
  3. Extension fetches context directly from your Gist
  4. Extension inserts context into the AI chat
  5. Nothing touches our servers (we don't have any!)

No Backend, No Servers

Context Bridge is a zero-backend extension:

  • No data passes through our infrastructure
  • No third-party services involved
  • No analytics providers
  • No tracking pixels
  • No external API calls (except to GitHub's public API)

This is not a data minimization strategy—it's our core architecture.


Data Storage

What's Stored Locally

Your browser stores:

  1. GitHub Gist URL (you provided this)
  2. Cache (optional, temporary):
    • Cached context content (max 5 MB)
    • Cache expiration timestamp
    • Purpose: Reduce GitHub API calls
    • Cleared: Automatically after 1 hour, or manually anytime

Where It's Stored

  • Chrome: chrome.storage.local API
  • Firefox: browser.storage.local API
  • Location: Your device only
  • Encryption: Managed by your browser

How to Delete It

Option 1: Extension popup → "Clear All Data" button

Option 2: Browser settings → Extensions → Context Bridge → "Remove"

Option 3: Browser console:

// Chrome
chrome.storage.local.clear()

// Firefox
browser.storage.local.clear()

All data is immediately and permanently deleted. No recovery, no backups, no "soft delete."


Third-Party Services

GitHub API

  • What: Extension fetches your Gist content from GitHub's public API
  • How: Direct HTTPS request from your browser to api.github.com
  • Data shared: Your Gist URL (which you control)
  • GitHub's policy: See GitHub Privacy Statement

Important: If your Gist is public, anyone with the URL can read it. If it's private, only you can access it (GitHub authentication required).

AI Platforms

Context Bridge interacts with:

  • ChatGPT (OpenAI)
  • Claude (Anthropic)
  • GitHub Copilot (GitHub/OpenAI)
  • Gemini (Google)

What we do: Insert text into the chat interface (same as if you typed it)

What we don't do: Send data to these platforms directly, track your usage, or access your conversations

Their policies:


Your Rights

GDPR Rights (European Economic Area)

If you're in the EEA, you have the right to:

  1. Access: See what data we store (it's just your Gist URL, stored locally)
  2. Rectification: Edit your Gist URL in the extension popup
  3. Erasure: Delete all data via "Clear All Data" button
  4. Data Portability: Your Gist URL is already portable (it's yours!)
  5. Objection: Uninstall the extension anytime
  6. Restriction: Don't use the extension, and no data is collected

Basis for processing: Consent (by using the extension) + Legitimate Interest (providing the service)

CCPA Rights (California)

If you're in California, you have the right to:

  1. Know: We've disclosed everything above
  2. Delete: Use "Clear All Data" or uninstall
  3. Opt-out of sale: Not applicable (we don't sell data—we don't even collect it!)
  4. Non-discrimination: Not applicable (extension is free, no paid tiers)

UK GDPR & Other Jurisdictions

Similar rights apply under UK GDPR, Brazil's LGPD, and other privacy laws. Contact us if you have questions.


Security

How We Protect Your Data

  1. No transmission: Data never leaves your device (except to GitHub, which you control)
  2. Browser security: Relies on Chrome/Firefox security model
  3. HTTPS only: All GitHub API requests use TLS 1.2+
  4. No external dependencies: Zero third-party libraries = minimal attack surface
  5. Content Security Policy: Strict CSP prevents unauthorized code execution
  6. Permissions: Extension requests minimum necessary permissions:
    • storage (to save your Gist URL)
    • activeTab (to insert context into current page)
    • host_permissions (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini domains only)

What We Can't Control

  • Your Gist security: If you make your Gist public, anyone can read it
  • GitHub security: GitHub's responsibility to secure their API
  • Browser security: Chrome/Firefox security updates
  • AI platform security: Each platform's data handling practices

Recommendation: Use a private GitHub Gist for sensitive context.


Children's Privacy

Context Bridge is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We don't knowingly collect data from children.

If you're a parent/guardian and believe your child provided data to us, contact us—though note that we don't store data server-side, so there's likely nothing to delete.


Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect:

  • New features (e.g., additional AI platforms)
  • Legal requirements (e.g., new privacy laws)
  • Security improvements

How we notify you:

  1. Update the "Last Updated" date at the top
  2. Post the new policy on our website
  3. Display a one-time notification in the extension (for material changes)

What stays the same: Our core commitment to zero data collection.


Open Source & Transparency

Context Bridge is open source:

  • Source code: GitHub Repository (replace with actual URL)
  • License: MIT License
  • Audit: Anyone can review the code and verify our privacy claims

No hidden behavior. What you see is what you get.

Commitment

We built Context Bridge because we were frustrated with AI context limits—and we value privacy as much as you do.

Our promise:

  • No data collection beyond what's strictly necessary
  • No monetization via data
  • No third-party sharing
  • Open source forever

If we ever change this approach, we'll give you 90 days' notice and an easy export/deletion path.
