Privacy Policy

Effective September 3, 2026

Product Pass is published by DOTDEV. This policy explains how the Product Pass browser extension handles information.

Summary

Product Pass has no advertising, analytics, tracking, or publisher-operated backend. Review data, screenshots, and screen recordings are stored locally. Data leaves the browser only when you explicitly use a configured AI provider, authenticate with a provider, or publish to GitHub.

Information handled locally

• Review sessions, note text, page titles and URLs, selected-element labels and selectors, annotation geometry, and issue drafts.
• Cropped annotation screenshots and no-audio WebM screen recordings stored in extension IndexedDB. Media is not sent to AI providers and is sent to GitHub only when you explicitly enable media upload for a draft and confirm publication.
• Settings and credentials—including API keys, GitHub tokens, and Codex OAuth/identity tokens—stored in extension storage.local. Opaque identity tokens may encode provider account identifiers. Browser extension storage is not a hardware-backed vault.

User-directed transfers

AI organization

When you confirm “Organize notes,” Product Pass may send note text, page title, sanitized URL without credentials/query/fragment, annotation type, and element label to your selected AI provider. It does not send screenshot or recording blobs, page DOM, CSS selectors, URL query strings, URL fragments, or credentials in the prompt. If no provider is configured, organization happens locally.

GitHub publishing

When you accept and confirm publication, Product Pass sends the edited issue title and body, including its source-evidence text and an invisible reconciliation marker, to the GitHub repository you configured. Source evidence may contain page URLs, titles, labels, and CSS selectors. GitHub authentication and accessible-repository lookup requests are sent directly to GitHub. If you explicitly enable media upload for that draft, Product Pass also sends the source JPEG/WebM bytes directly to GitHub's experimental, undocumented attachment endpoint and inserts returned URLs into the issue. Media upload is off by default.

Authentication

If you choose ChatGPT/Codex subscription authentication, authentication data is exchanged directly with OpenAI. If you choose GitHub OAuth Device Flow, authentication data is exchanged directly with GitHub using the repository scope you select. Product Pass does not forward tokens to DOTDEV.

Permissions

• Site access: annotation access is requested per site. Before the first screenshot-backed annotation, Product Pass separately explains and requests optional HTTP/HTTPS access because browsers require broad visible-tab permission for reliable screenshots after navigation. Annotation tools still run only on sites you enable.
• Tabs, active tab, and scripting: identify the active page, capture its visible area with the required permission, and run annotation tools only on sites you enable.
• Storage: retain sessions, screenshots, recordings, settings, and credentials.
• Alarms: safely resume time-limited device authentication flows.
• Side panel/sidebar: display the Product Pass workspace.

Raw capture backups

When you choose raw export, Product Pass creates a local .ppraw file containing the selected review’s notes, screenshots, recordings, and timestamps. It excludes drafts, settings, credentials, tokens, and GitHub publication data. Archives may contain sensitive page evidence; Product Pass does not upload them, and you control where they are stored or imported.

Retention and deletion

Local data remains until you delete a session, clear credentials, remove extension data, or uninstall Product Pass. “Finish” preserves a session; “Delete session” permanently removes its local notes, drafts, screenshots, and recordings. Deleting local data cannot delete media previously uploaded to GitHub. Third-party providers apply their own retention policies to information you direct Product Pass to send.

Sharing and sale

DOTDEV does not receive, sell, rent, or use Product Pass data for advertising, credit, or unrelated purposes. User-directed transfers to configured providers are required to perform the requested feature.

Children

Product Pass is a professional productivity tool and is not directed to children.
