Privacy Policy

1. Overview

BitsPlus LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates VS Code extensions and the website at https://www.bitsplus.ai. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

Our extensions process your code locally. We do not collect or store your source code, scan results, or personal files on our servers. Some features (such as Copilot Chat integration) may send code snippets to third-party AI services like GitHub Copilot, subject to their own privacy policies and your VS Code settings.

2. What We Collect

We collect minimal, anonymized data to improve our products:

• Anonymous extension usage events: We may collect high-level, anonymous telemetry such as extension activation, feature usage counts, and crash reports. These contain no personally identifiable information and no source code. You can disable telemetry in VS Code settings.
• Website analytics: We use privacy-friendly analytics on our marketing website to understand traffic patterns. No cookies are used for tracking individual users across sites.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we never touch:

• Your source code is not collected or stored by BitsPlus. Code snippets may be sent to GitHub Copilot when you use Copilot Chat features, subject to GitHub's privacy policy
• Results and output stay in your editor and on your disk
• Personal files — our extensions only read files within your open VS Code workspace
• Keystrokes or clipboard data
• Git credentials, tokens, or secrets

4. Payment Data

If you purchase a Pro license, payment processing is handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. We never see, store, or process your credit card number, banking details, or full billing address.

Lemon Squeezy may share with us: your name, email address, transaction ID, and license status. This information is used solely to provision and manage your Pro license.

5. License Keys

Your Pro license key is stored locally on your machine within VS Code's secure secret storage. License validation happens via a one-time check against our activation server. We do not track when or how often you use any extension after activation.

6. Cookies

Our website uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality (such as remembering your cookie preferences). We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies.

If we implement analytics, we use privacy-friendly solutions that do not require cookie consent banners under GDPR (e.g., cookieless, aggregated analytics).

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services in the operation of our website and extensions:

• Lemon Squeezy — Payment processing and license management
• Cloudflare — DNS, CDN, and DDoS protection for our website
• Vercel — Website hosting and deployment

Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review them.

8. Data Retention

Anonymous telemetry data, if collected, is retained for a maximum of 12 months and then permanently deleted. License-related data (email and transaction ID) is retained for as long as your license is active, plus 30 days after cancellation or expiration.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect any data we do handle. All communications between our extensions and our license server use TLS encryption. Our website is served over HTTPS. We follow industry best practices for securing our infrastructure.

10. Children's Privacy

BitsPlus products are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify users through the extension or via email (if you have provided one through a purchase).

We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
