Privacy Policy

GitLab Diff: Hide Renames, Shims & Noise · effective 2026-06-10
In short: this extension collects no personal data, sends nothing to the author or any third party, and processes everything locally in your browser.

Data controller

The extension is provided by Philipp Berger ("the author"). Because no personal data is processed by the author, no representative or data protection officer is appointed. Privacy questions can be raised by email at p.stylus+gitlab-diff-hide-noise@gmail.com or via the project issue tracker.

What the extension does with data

What the extension does NOT do

Permissions

Legal basis for processing (Art. 6 GDPR)

The author does not process personal data, so no Article 6 legal basis arises for the author. Your category preferences are stored solely to make the extension work as you configured it; this is local browser configuration under your own control, not processing of personal data by the author.

Storage and retention

The author stores and retains no personal data and keeps no logs. Your preference settings (non-personal on/off booleans) remain in your browser — and, if Chrome Sync is enabled, in your own Google Account — until you change them, clear your browser storage, or uninstall the extension.

International data transfers

The extension transfers no personal data anywhere, and therefore performs no international transfer. If you separately use Chrome Sync or visit this website, Google or GitHub may process technical data on servers outside the EU/EEA under their own safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses), as described in their respective privacy policies.

Automated decision-making

No automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR takes place.

Your rights under the GDPR

The author does not collect or hold any personal data about you, so in practice there is no personal data to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to. Should you believe any personal data is nonetheless being processed, you may contact the author at p.stylus+gitlab-diff-hide-noise@gmail.com (or via the issue tracker) to exercise your rights under Articles 15–21 GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence.

Third-party services

The extension itself sends no data to third parties. Two independent services, governed by their own privacy policies, are involved only indirectly:

Children

The extension is a developer tool, not directed at children, and processes no personal data from anyone.

Changes to this policy

Any changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
