Privacy policy: Board Fold: Layout Controls

Last updated: 2026-10-26 (applies to version 0.1.3 and later until replaced)

Short version: Board Fold collects no data and sends nothing anywhere. Its only stored data is your own layout settings, saved in your browser.

Who this covers

Board Fold: Layout Controls ("Board Fold") is a free Chrome extension that adds collapse and expand controls to Jira Cloud pages (https://*.atlassian.net/*). It is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Atlassian.

What Board Fold does NOT do

• It does not collect, transmit, sell, share or rent any personal or usage data.
• It makes no network requests. It has no server, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no remote code.
• It does not read, copy, store or send the text of issues, boards, comments, names, or any other page content.

What is stored on your device

Board Fold uses the browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local). It stays on your device and is not synced or uploaded by the extension. It contains only:

• Which column positions you collapsed on each board. A board is identified by a short hash (a fingerprint) of the board's URL path, never by its name, and the URL itself is not stored. Columns are identified by their position number, not by their name.
• Whether you hid the issue side panel (yes/no).
• Whether you hid the sub-task section (yes/no).
• The debug switch (on/off, off by default). If you turn debug mode on, the extension also saves its last debug report: a timestamp, the extension version, the board hash, and counts of which page elements it found. The report contains no page text. Nothing is sent anywhere; you may copy it yourself.

How it reads a page: it checks which elements exist and counts them (for example, how many cards a column holds) so it can show a number on a collapsed column. It does not read their text.

Where it runs

Only on pages matching https://*.atlassian.net/*. It has no access to other sites. Its only permission is storage.

Your choices and removing your data

• Use "Reset all saved layout state" on the extension's options page to delete the saved layout settings and the debug report.
• Uninstalling the extension removes its stored data from your browser.

Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

Board Fold's handling of any user data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. It does not transfer user data to anyone, does not use it for advertising or credit decisions, and no person can read it because the developer never receives it.

Third parties

No data is shared with any third party, because no data leaves your browser. Chrome, the Chrome Web Store and Atlassian have their own privacy policies for their own services.

Changes

If this ever changes, the new practice will be disclosed in the store listing and in this policy before the change is released.
