Mozilla Addons reviewer: "Please add a privacy policy"

Just to keep you in the loop to help you understand why Firefox is stuck on version 19.12.9:

More information requested by Cse a day ago

Please add a privacy policy to this add-on that details which user data is being sent and to what services. The critical things to describe in the policy are how your extension collects, uses, stores, and shares or discloses information about people.If your add-on makes it apparent to websites that it is installed, this must also be mentioned. The policy should be about the extension only, not a copy of the website’s privacy policy. It should also be the actual text, as opposed to a link to a privacy policy on a website. The privacy policy can be added in the add-on settings under “Manage Authors & License” on AMO.

My response:

Refined GitHub does not collect, use, store, nor share any data; we don’t have servers. The extension only operates locally and on GitHub itself.

Help wanted to add a privacypolicy file in case they make this a hard requirement.

While we wait for Google, maybe there’s something we can improve with the privacy form I filled out?

Single Purpose Description The extension adds power-user features to GitHub.com.

activeTab We need this to be able to enable the extension on GitHub Enterprise. activeTab lets us read the URL of the tab where the user clicks “enable”. https://github.com/fregante/webext-domain-permission-toggle

Host Permission We need access to https://github.com/* to add the features and access to https://api.github.com/* to fetch required data for some of the features we add.

It looks like the Firefox version was accepted; I got an update to 20.1.6 today. 🦊
