Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026 · Applies to the DevDash Chrome extension and this page.

DevDash (“we”, “the extension”) is a new-tab dashboard for developers. We designed it to keep your personal data on your device whenever possible. This policy explains what information is handled, why, and where it goes.

Short version: DevDash does not run a user-account backend and does not sell your data. Settings, notes, tasks, and GitHub tokens stay in your browser. Optional connections (GitHub, Chrome account display, public APIs) only contact those services so the features you turn on can work.

1. Who is responsible

DevDash is developed by Hesham Yasser. For privacy questions, contact via the Chrome Web Store listing support channel or the public project repository.

2. Data we do not collect

We do not operate analytics that profile you, and we do not receive a copy of your notes, TODO items, or GitHub token on our own servers.

3. Data stored on your device

Depending on what you use, DevDash may store locally (for example via localStorage / Chrome storage):

Exported backups are created on your request and, by design, exclude the GitHub token.

4. Chrome / Google account display

If you have not set a custom name or avatar, DevDash may read signed-in Chrome profile information available through Chrome Identity APIs to show a friendly name and photo in the header. This is for display inside the extension only. We do not upload that information to a DevDash server.

5. GitHub connection

When you click Connect with GitHub, DevDash uses GitHub’s OAuth Device Flow. An access token is stored locally and used to call GitHub’s API for your profile, repositories, and related analytics (including private repositories when granted scopes allow).

GitHub’s own privacy policy applies to data processed by GitHub.

6. Third-party services

7. Permissions

8. Children

DevDash is aimed at developers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes

If we add features that change how data is handled (for example cloud accounts), we will update this Privacy Policy and the Chrome Web Store disclosures before those features ship.

10. This page

This is a static privacy page. If hosted by a third party (such as GitHub Pages), that host may process standard server logs under its own policy.
