Your privacy is our priority. This extension operates entirely within your browser with no data collection, no external servers, and no tracking. All processing happens locally, and your data never leaves your computer. Your exclusion patterns are saved using Chrome's sync storage for convenience across devices. We only request the minimal permissions required: GitHub.com access to read file tree structure, active tab to detect which page you're viewing, and storage to save your preferences.
