1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Azure DevOps Checklist Extension ("the Extension", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our extension within Azure DevOps.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Work Item Data

• Checklist Templates: We access and modify checklist template data that you create and manage
• Work Item Fields: We read and write to custom work item fields to store checklist data in markdown format
• Progress Data: We track completion status of checklist items within your work items
• Field Mapping: We store configuration data about which fields are mapped to checklist templates

2.2 Usage Data

• Extension Interactions: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the extension
• Error Logs: We may collect error information to diagnose and fix issues

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to:

• Provide checklist functionality within your Azure DevOps work items
• Store and retrieve checklist templates and progress data
• Enable drag-and-drop organization of checklist items
• Maintain visual progress indicators and completion tracking
• Support multi-template functionality for work item types
• Preserve change history through Azure DevOps audit trails
• Improve the extension's performance and reliability

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All checklist data is stored within your Azure DevOps organization's infrastructure. We do not transmit or store your data on external servers.

4.2 Data Persistence

Changes to checklists are saved automatically when you modify checklist items, ensuring data integrity and preventing loss.

4.3 Security Measures

We rely on Azure DevOps' security infrastructure to protect your data. The extension follows Microsoft's security guidelines for Azure DevOps extensions.

We do not share, sell, or transfer your personal information or work item data to third parties. All data remains within your Azure DevOps organization.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Data Access

You can access all checklist data through the Azure DevOps interface. Checklist modifications are tracked through Azure DevOps field history.

6.2 Data Deletion

You can delete checklist templates and data at any time through the extension interface. Uninstalling the extension will stop data collection but will not delete existing checklist data from work items.

6.3 Data Export

Checklist data is stored in standard markdown format within Azure DevOps fields and can be exported using Azure DevOps' built-in export functionality.
