privacy policy

last updated: may 2026. applies to the gitfix vs code extension (v0.99.0+).

1. what we collect by default

nothing. the extension ships with gitfix.telemetry.enabled: false. when telemetry is off, all instrumentation is a no-op. we log diagnostic information to your vs code output channel only — it never leaves your machine.

2. if you opt in: the five events

when telemetry is enabled, we collect exactly five event types. the schema is fixed for v0.99 and published here.

extension.activated
properties: extension version, vs code version, os platformmeasurements: none

fires once per session when the extension activates.

merge.preview
properties: strategy type (ours/theirs/mergiraf/ai/target), file countmeasurements: conflict_count

fires when you open a conflict preview. no file paths.

conflict.resolved
properties: strategy typemeasurements: resolution_ms

fires when a single conflict hunk is resolved.

merge.applied
properties: strategy type, bulk (boolean)measurements: conflict_count, apply_ms

fires when a resolution is written to disk.

extension.error
properties: error_category (not the message), commandmeasurements: none

fires on caught errors. error messages, stack traces, and file paths are never captured.

3. what we never collect

  • [×]file paths or directory names
  • [×]branch names or commit hashes
  • [×]conflict content or diff text
  • [×]error messages or stack traces
  • [×]repository names or remote urls
  • [×]your vs code settings (other than the gitfix.telemetry flag itself)
  • [×]any personally identifiable information

4. backend status in v0.99

[ ! ] the telemetry transport is stubbed in v0.99. even if you opt in, events are only written to the output channel — no data leaves your machine.

for v1.x, we will decide between application insights, posthog, or keeping the transport stubbed based on dogfood feedback. we will announce the decision and update this page in the same pr that flips the switch.

5. how to disable telemetry

two ways:

  • [×]gitfix extension setting: open vs code settings → search gitfix.telemetry.enabled → set to false. this is the default.
  • [×]vs code global switch: vs code → settings → telemetry → set to off. gitfix respects the telemetry.telemetryLevel setting and disables all instrumentation when it is set to “off” or “error”.
