Privacy Policy for Zentext
Effective Date: August 16, 2025
Thank you for using Zentext. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information in relation to our browser extension. Our goal is to provide a valuable service while respecting your privacy and protecting your data.
1. What Information We Collect
To provide our core service, Zentext needs to connect to third-party project management tools (e.g., Linear, Jira) on your behalf. To do this, we collect and store the following:
- Authentication Tokens: When you connect a service like Linear to Zentext, we use the OAuth 2.0 protocol. The service provides us with an authentication token (an "access token") that grants Zentext permission to access your data via their API. We securely store this token.
We do not collect any other personal information. We do not ask for your name, email address, or payment information (for the free version). We do not scan your browsing history or access any websites other than github.com as required for the extension to function.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used exclusively to provide and improve the Zentext service.
- Authentication Tokens are used solely to make API requests to the connected project management tool on your behalf. This allows us to fetch the relevant ticket information (title, description, status, etc.) and display it in the Zentext sidebar within the GitHub interface.
3. Data Storage and Security
We take the security of your data very seriously.
- Authentication tokens are stored in a secure, encrypted format on our backend servers.
- All communication between the Zentext browser extension and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard HTTPS.
- We never store your source code or any content from your GitHub pull requests.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your data or authentication tokens with any third parties.
The only exception is the necessary communication with the third-party project management tools (like Linear) that you have explicitly chosen to connect to your Zentext account.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through our website or within the extension itself. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
