Pyor Helper — Privacy Policy

Summary

This policy covers the Pyor Helper browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (the “Helper”). It is separate from, and additional to, the Pyor Privacy Policy that covers the Pyor apps and website. In short: the Helper collects nothing, sends nothing, and runs only on github.com.

What the Helper does

The Helper has a single purpose: open a GitHub pull request in Pyor instead of github.com. On a pull-request page (for example github.com/owner/repo/pull/123) it hands the pull request off to Pyor — the desktop app (via the pyor:// protocol) or the web app, per your preference — and injects an “Open in Pyor” button into the page header for manual hand-off. It does nothing on non-pull-request pages, and nothing on any site other than github.com.

What it accesses

To do its job, the Helper reads the URL of the GitHub page you are viewing — to decide whether it is a pull request and where to redirect it — and, when you open the toolbar popup, the URL of the active github.com tab to offer per-organization pause. This information is used in the moment and is never stored, logged, or sent anywhere. The Helper does not read, collect, or transmit your code, diffs, or pull-request contents.

What it stores

The Helper saves only your own settings, locally, using the browser’s chrome.storage API:

• whether auto-redirect is on or off;
• which GitHub organizations you have paused;
• whether pull requests open in the Pyor desktop app or the web app.

These settings stay in your browser profile and never leave your device. Removing the Helper removes them.

What it never does

• No network requests, servers, or backends of its own.
• No analytics, telemetry, tracking, or advertising.
• No remote code — all of its code ships inside the published package.
• No collection of personal, financial, health, location, or browsing-history data.
• No selling or sharing of any data with third parties.

Permissions

The Helper requests only the two permissions it needs for its single purpose:

• storage — to save your preferences locally (above).
• host access to github.com (*://github.com/*) — so the content script can detect pull-request pages, redirect them, and inject the “Open in Pyor” button. The Helper requests no other host access.

Changes

If we change how the Helper handles data, we will update this page and its “last updated” date. Material changes will be reflected before they take effect.
