What the Extension Does

The Partio browser extension reads checkpoint data from GitHub repositories and displays it alongside pull requests and commits. It connects to app.partio.io to fetch and render checkpoint information so you can understand the reasoning behind code changes directly in your browser.

Permissions and Why We Need Them

• activeTab — Used to read the current GitHub page URL and inject the checkpoint overlay on pull request and commit pages you visit.
• storage — Used to store your GitHub authentication token and cache checkpoint data locally for faster loading.
• cookies — Used to authenticate with app.partio.io so the extension can fetch checkpoint data on your behalf.
• Host permissions (app.partio.io) — Required to communicate with the Partio API to retrieve checkpoint information.

Data Storage

• Your GitHub token is stored in chrome.storage.sync so it syncs across your signed-in Chrome browsers.
• Cached checkpoint data is stored in chrome.storage.local on your device only.

All data stays on your device or within your Chrome sync account. No data is sent to any server other than app.partio.io.

No Data Selling or Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with any third parties. Your authentication tokens and cached data are used solely to provide the extension's functionality.

No Analytics or Tracking

The extension does not include any analytics, telemetry, or tracking code. We do not collect usage statistics, browsing history, or any behavioral data.
