Overview
BoardCast for Jira is a browser extension that helps you rotate Jira dashboards on wallboard displays. This privacy policy explains what data the extension accesses and how it is used.
Data Collection and Storage
What Data We Access
BoardCast accesses the following data:
- Jira URLs - The URLs of Jira dashboards and boards you add to your rotation playlists
- Extension Settings - Your profile configurations, dwell times, and preferences
How Data Is Stored
All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local). This includes:
- Rotation profiles and playlists
- Extension settings and preferences
- Cached license status (if using Atlassian Marketplace integration)
No personal data is transmitted to external servers except as described below.
External Communications
Atlassian Marketplace License Validation
If you install the BoardCast companion app from the Atlassian Marketplace, the extension communicates with Atlassian's servers to validate your license status. This communication:
- Is initiated only when checking license status
- Sends no personal data beyond what Atlassian requires for license validation
- Is handled entirely by Atlassian's Forge platform
Jira Cloud Access
The extension accesses Jira Cloud pages (*.atlassian.net) to:
- Navigate to dashboards and boards in your playlist
- Detect page load status for health monitoring
- Apply wallboard mode settings
This access operates within your existing Jira session and does not transmit any data to third parties.
Data We Do NOT Collect
BoardCast does NOT:
- Collect personal information
- Track your browsing history
- Access Jira data beyond page navigation
- Send analytics or telemetry data
- Share data with third parties
- Store data on external servers
