Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 20, 2026

FlawFerret (“the Extension”) is a Chrome extension that helps users capture QA context and create Jira tickets faster. This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed, how it is used, and your choices.

1. What FlawFerret Does

FlawFerret captures user-selected webpage context (such as selected text, element metadata, screenshots, and optional recordings) to help create Jira issues.
The Extension only acts when you trigger it.

2. Data We Process

Depending on how you use FlawFerret, the Extension may process:

• Selected webpage text and element context

• Current page URL and title

• Optional screenshot/snippet captured by you

• Optional tab recording captured by you

• Jira configuration values (for example, Jira base URL, email, API token) entered by you

• Optional AI provider settings (OpenAI API key or Ollama endpoint/model) entered by you

3. How Data Is Used

Data is used only to provide the Extension’s core functionality:

• Build and format bug report content

• Generate Gherkin scenarios (including AI generation if enabled by you)

• Create Jira tickets through Jira APIs

• Store your preferences/settings locally in Chrome extension storage

4. Data Sharing

FlawFerret does not sell personal data.

Data is sent only to services you explicitly configure/use:

• Atlassian Jira when creating issues

• OpenAI API only if you enable OpenAI generation

• Ollama endpoint only if you enable Ollama generation

No unrelated third-party data sharing is intended.

5. Data Retention

FlawFerret is designed for minimal retention:

• Settings are stored locally in your browser profile.

• Captured content is used for your active workflow and issue creation.

• You can clear stored extension data at any time by removing extension data or uninstalling FlawFerret.

6. User Control

You control when FlawFerret runs and what it captures.

You can:

• Choose which project/issue is created in Jira

• Use or disable AI generation

• Remove stored settings

• Uninstall the extension at any time

7. Security

We aim to follow reasonable security practices. However, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. You are responsible for protecting your own Jira/API credentials.

8. Children’s Privacy

FlawFerret is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy over time. Updates will be posted with a new effective date.
