GitHub Actions Log Copy Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 11, 2026

GitHub Actions Log Copy is a browser extension that adds a copy button to GitHub Actions job step headers.

What this extension accesses

The extension runs only on https://github.com/* and only activates on GitHub Actions job log pages that match:

https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/actions/runs/<run-id>/job/<job-id>

On those pages, the extension reads the page structure needed to:

  • identify GitHub Actions step headers
  • insert a copy button into each step header
  • read the selected step's visible log lines
  • fetch the selected step's GitHub-hosted log fragment when needed to capture long virtualized logs

What this extension does with data

This extension:

  • does not collect personal information
  • does not send data to any third-party server
  • does not use analytics or tracking
  • does not store browsing history, account data, or copied logs
  • only writes text to the clipboard after the user explicitly clicks the copy button

When the extension fetches a step log fragment, it makes that request only to GitHub using the authenticated browser session that is already active in the user's browser.

Clipboard access

The extension uses clipboard access only to copy the selected step's log text after a user clicks the copy button.

Data retention

The extension does not retain copied logs or other user data.
