Privacy Policy

01What pushd is

pushd is a Chrome extension that deploys HTML pages - usually ones you've made with an AI chat - to hosting providers you connect, such as Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare, GitHub Pages, Tiiny.host, or your own cPanel hosting. pushd is the deploy button, not the host.

02What we collect

Almost nothing - and we keep nothing. pushd has no analytics and no database of its own. We can't see what you deploy, where you deploy it, or how often. The only personal data involved is sign-in: we verify your Google login and pass your email and name to our payment provider, Polar, without storing them anywhere.

Everything else the extension needs lives only in your browser's local extension storage:

• Hosting provider tokens you connect (e.g. a Netlify or Vercel personal access token)
• Your deploy history and rollback snapshots
• Your settings and preferences

Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it. Your deployed sites stay up - they live on the host, not in pushd.

03Where your data goes

When you hit ↑ Push, your page is uploaded over HTTPS directly from your browser to the hosting provider you chose. Each token is sent only to the provider it belongs to - your Netlify token only ever talks to Netlify's API, and so on.

What each provider does with your site after that is governed by their own privacy policy.

04Payments

If you buy pushd Pro, the purchase is handled by Polar, our merchant of record. They process your payment details and email address under their own privacy policy. Your subscription is linked to your Google account: when you sign in with Google we receive your basic Google profile - your email and a stable account identifier - solely to check whether your subscription is active. Nothing more.

Because pushd keeps no database, your subscription and payment records live with Polar. To delete them, use Polar's customer portal, or email support@hypercollider.net and we'll remove your customer profile from Polar on your behalf. Invoice records that Polar must keep for tax and accounting are retained under Polar's own policy.

05Permissions the extension asks for

Chrome will show you the permissions pushd requests at install. Why each exists:

• Access to AI chat sites - to add the Push button next to pages your AI builds
• Storage - to keep your tokens, history, and settings on your device
• Hosting provider domains - to upload your site to the provider you connected
• Sign in with Google - to identify your account and check whether your Pro subscription is active. We receive only your email and a Google account id, never your Google password or any other Google data.

pushd reads the page your AI built only when you push it. It does not read your conversations.

06Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in any meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page and note the change in the extension's release notes.
