A GitHub Marketplace listing requires a privacy policy URL, and the site had no page describing what the hosted App does with a repository. This adds one at /privacy/, under Reference in the nav.

What it says

Written so a Marketplace reviewer can check every claim against the App's registration and code:

  • Four permissions, each with the one thing it is used for — metadata read, contents read, checks write, pull requests read.
  • What is fetched: a shallow, sparse fetch of the commits under test and the cchk.toml / commit-check.toml file. No other file, ever. The temporary directory is deleted before the event is considered handled.
  • What is kept: nothing — no database, no stored content. Operational logs carry delivery ids, SHAs, check-run ids and, for a check that could not run, the tool's error text; never an author name or email, never file content. (commit-check-app#13 removes the one log line that carried an author login, so the promise holds.)
  • What it never sees: source beyond the config file, repositories it is not installed on, and any delivery whose signature fails.
  • Where it runs: Fly.io, ams.

The CLI, hooks and Action are explicitly scoped out in the first paragraph — they run locally and send nothing.

Verification

pytest tests/ -q → 9 passed. SOCIAL_CARDS=false mkdocs build --strict clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a Privacy page explaining the hosted GitHub App’s requested permissions, data handling, temporary processing, logging, security practices, and contact options.
    • Added the Privacy page to the documentation site’s Reference navigation.

A Marketplace listing needs a privacy policy URL, and the site had no
page describing what the hosted App reads, keeps and never sees. This
one does, in terms a reviewer can check against the App's permissions:
four permissions, a sparse fetch of the commits and the config file,
nothing stored, logs that carry ids and SHAs but no author identity.

Privacy documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Privacy page and navigation
docs/privacy.md, mkdocs.yml
The new page documents App permissions, temporary sparse fetches, data retention, operational logs, webhook verification, hosting, encryption, and contact instructions. The Reference navigation links to the page.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 90bf8

This change publishes privacy commitments for the hosted App. The webhook wording should distinguish body receipt from payload processing, and the hosted fetch, cleanup, and logging claims should be confirmed or narrowed before publication to avoid misleading users about repository-data handling.

The signature is an HMAC over the raw body, so the body is received
before it can be verified. Rejection happens before parsing, not before
receipt — the previous wording claimed more than the mechanism allows.

"No other file is ever fetched" was true of the working tree and false
of the object store: a plain fetch downloads every blob the commits
reach. commit-check-app#13 adds --filter=blob:none, after which the
sentence is true on the wire too. Say what is transferred — commit
metadata plus the one config file — and that other contents never
reach the temporary object store either.
