Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

The short version: SEOGuard reads your code to check for SEO issues and posts the results in your PR. We do not store your code, sell your data, or use it for anything beyond running the review.

What SEOGuard accesses

When installed on a repository and a pull request is opened or updated, SEOGuard accesses the following via the GitHub API:

Repository file contents (HTML, JSX, TSX, Vue, and Svelte files only)
Pull request metadata — PR number, repository name, and owner
Pull request comments, to create or update the SEO review comment

How we use that data

The data accessed is used solely to perform the SEO review and post the result as a comment on your pull request. Specifically:

File contents are parsed in memory to detect SEO issues
The review report is generated and posted back to the PR
No file contents, code, or analysis results are written to any database or external storage

What we do not do

We do not store, log, or retain your source code
We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties
We do not use your code to train models or for any purpose beyond the review
We do not track individual users or build profiles

Data retention

SEOGuard processes all data in-memory within a serverless function. Once the review is complete and the PR comment is posted, nothing is retained. There is no persistent storage of repository content.

Third-party services

SEOGuard is hosted on Vercel. Requests are processed on Vercel's infrastructure. Vercel's own privacy policy applies to the infrastructure layer. SEO rules are fetched from a remote JSON file hosted on GitHub.

GitHub permissions

SEOGuard requests the minimum permissions required to function:

Contents: Read — to read repository files for analysis
Pull requests: Read & Write — to post the review comment

You can revoke access at any time from your GitHub settings under Applications → Installed GitHub Apps.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the change. Continued use of SEOGuard after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
