We use standard OAuth authentication to access your Personal Information and Data. We request permission from you via Atlassian to access the Personal Information and Data, and we are bound by the permissions granted by you and Atlassian. We never obtain your passwords, and you can revoke our access to your Personal Information and Data at any time, easily and without the need for our intervention.
Atlassian Integration
In order to perform the Service and be able to respond to your questions about your content, we receive notifications about every update to your Confluence content. After receiving an update notification, we request additional information from Atlassian in order to determine if we need to modify our indexes of your content. If a piece of content stops being relevant (for example, you delete it), we also mark it for deletion in our indexes.
Billing purposes
We use a third-party service called Stripe to collect and process your payment information if you have an Upgraded Account, and we have access to your invoices, name, and billing address on our servers. Stripe has its own terms of service and privacy policy, which we encourage you to read before submitting your Personal Information through Stripe.
Customer Support
If you contact us for support, questions, or in response to one of our critical service updates, we may collect, use, process, and share your email address and email content in order to communicate with you, diagnose any potential issues with the Service, and provide you with a response or solution. We may request additional information from you to achieve this purpose.
