Privacy Policy for GitHub Email Outreach Assistant

Last updated: 20 May 2025

Overview

The GitHub Email Outreach Assistant Chrome extension enhances the workflow of recruiters and sourcers by:

  • Reading public GitHub profile data
  • Generating AI-based outreach messages using OpenAI
  • Preparing Gmail drafts for email outreach

This extension operates entirely on the client side and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data without your explicit input.


Data Usage

We do not collect or sell any personally identifiable information (PII). The extension interacts with:

✔️ GitHub

  • Reads publicly available profile information on GitHub.com
  • Makes requests to GitHub's public API for email/repo data

✔️ OpenAI API

  • Sends user-provided data (e.g., extracted profile info) to OpenAI for GPT-generated message output
  • Requires your own API key stored locally in browser storage

✔️ Gmail (Optional)

  • Offers to draft an email in Gmail using a mailto: link
  • No access to Gmail inbox or Gmail API is used

Permissions

We request access to:

  • https://github.com/* – to read profile content and inject UI
  • https://api.github.com/* – to fetch public metadata
  • https://api.openai.com/* – to request message completions via your OpenAI key

We also use chrome.storage to store local settings like your OpenAI API key. This data is never transmitted or shared.


No Remote Code

The extension does not execute any remote code, does not use eval(), and does not download scripts from external servers.


No Tracking

We do not use any analytics, tracking cookies, or fingerprinting technologies.


User Control

You may remove your OpenAI key or uninstall the extension at any time. All data is stored locally and can be cleared from browser settings.
