2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Account Information: When you log in via Google, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture for authentication.
  • Bug Reports: When you report issues, we collect screenshots, styling properties of selected web elements, and Figma design references you attach.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: We collect analytics on how the extension and web app are used to improve the product.

2.3 Information from Third-Party Integrations

  • Figma Authentication: If you connect your Figma account, we access API data to retrieve design elements for comparison.
  • Google Authentication: We use Google Sign-In for authentication but do not access your Google Drive, emails, or other personal data beyond login credentials.
  • Linear Integration: If you connect your Linear account, we may access issue data, project details, and related metadata you choose to link with DesignQA in order to create and sync bug reports. We do not access other data in your Linear account beyond what you explicitly authorize.

4. Data Storage and Security

We take security seriously. DesignQA uses Supabase to store user authentication data, bug reports, and related files. We implement industry-standard security measures, including:

  • Encrypted storage of authentication data.
  • Secure API communication via HTTPS.
  • Access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.

  • With Service Providers: We use Supabase for authentication and storage, PostHog for analytics, and Linear for issue tracking and project management integrations. These providers are required to protect your data and may process limited personal information on our behalf.
  • For Legal Compliance: If required by law, we may disclose necessary information to comply with legal requests or protect our rights.

6. Cookies & Tracking

DesignQA does not use advertising cookies. However:

  • Our web app may store authentication tokens in local storage for login persistence.
  • PostHog may set cookies or local storage values to measure usage and improve our services.
