Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your code is your intellectual property. We are built to protect it, not exploit it. Transparency is our core value.

Effective Date: February 2, 2026

Last Updated: February 2, 2026

Zero Retention Policy

By default, GitSniff operates on a "process and forget" basis. We analyze your code in volatile memory to generate reviews and discard the raw code immediately after the response is generated. We do not store your source code on our servers.

No Training on User Code

We strictly prohibit the use of your private repositories for training our foundation models. Your proprietary algorithms remain yours. We utilize pre-trained frozen models for inference only.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how GitSniff ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you access or use our AI-powered code review platform, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website homepage or sending you an email notification).

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, update your profile, connect a repository, or communicate with us. This includes:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, username, and authentication tokens from identity providers (e.g., GitHub, Google).
  • Billing Information: Payment method details (processed via Stripe), billing address, and transaction history.
  • Profile Data: Role, team usage preferences, and custom rules/instructions.

Information We Collect Automatically

  • Usage Data: We track API usage, token consumption, and feature interaction to calculate billing and improve service performance.
  • Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access our Services, including the hardware model, operating system and version, and unique device identifiers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including processing code reviews and generating insights.
  • Process transactions and send you related information, including confirmations and invoices.
  • Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities.
  • Personalize your experience and provide content or features that match your profile (e.g., custom persona settings).

4. Data Retention & Source Code

Source Code: As stated in our highlights, we do not persist your source code. It is transmitted securely to our inference engine, processed in memory, and discarded immediately. We only retain the metadata of the analysis (e.g., "PR #123 scanned", "2 critical issues found") and the generated review comments for your dashboard history.

Account Data: We retain account and billing information for as long as your account is active or as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
  • Strict access controls and audit logging for internal staff.
  • Regular security assessments and penetration testing.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate GitSniff:

  • Supabase: Database and authentication services. Supabase processes your account information and handles GitHub OAuth authentication. See Supabase Privacy Policy.
  • OpenRouter: AI model gateway that processes your code for analysis. Code is transmitted securely and not retained by OpenRouter or the underlying AI providers. See OpenRouter Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe: Payment processing and billing. Stripe handles all payment card data. We never see or store your full payment card details. See Stripe Privacy Policy.
  • GitHub: Source code access via GitHub App integration. We only request the minimum permissions necessary (repository metadata and pull request access). See GitHub Privacy Statement.
  • Inngest: Background job processing for code analysis workflows. See Inngest Privacy Policy.
  • Vercel: Application hosting and content delivery. See Vercel Privacy Policy.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our Services and track activity:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for authentication, security, and core functionality.
  • Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how users interact with our platform.
  • Preferences: Store your UI preferences, theme selection, and dashboard settings.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services.
