Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Volgenic ("we", "us") collects, uses and shares information when you use the Volgenic website and service at volgenic.com (the "service"), and the choices you have about it.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run the service:

• Account information. Your name, email address and profile picture, either entered by you or received from the provider you sign in with, such as Google or GitHub.
• Workspace content. Work items, comments, release notes, settings, files and anything else you or your workspace members add to the service.
• Repository information. When your workspace connects a code repository, the commits, issues, pull requests and source code the service reads to build, deploy and describe your software.
• Build and deployment records. Build logs, artifacts, deployment history and the output of coding agents you start.
• Technical information. IP address, browser type, sign-in times and requests, recorded in server logs to keep the service secure and working.

Information from Google

If you sign in with Google, we receive only your name, email address and profile picture through Google's basic sign-in scopes (openid, email and profile). We use this information only to create and identify your Volgenic account. We do not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, contacts or any other Google data.

Volgenic's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy , including its Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train artificial intelligence models, and people at Volgenic do not read it except as needed for security, to comply with the law, or with your permission.

How we use information

• To sign you in, keep your account secure and control access to workspaces.
• To provide the service: tracking work, running builds and deployments, preparing releases and running the coding agents you start.
• To diagnose problems, prevent abuse and keep the service reliable.
• To contact you about your account, security issues or changes to the service.
• To meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build advertising profiles.

Artificial intelligence features

Some features send workspace content, such as changes in a release or the text of a work item, to a language model provider to write summaries, notes or code. We send only the content a feature needs, and we do not allow providers to use it to train their models where the provider offers that choice. We do not use your content to train our own models.

How we share information

We share information only in these cases:

• Within your workspace. Members of a workspace can see the content and activity in that workspace.
• Service providers. Companies that help us run the service, such as authentication (Clerk, Google, GitHub), hosting and storage, and language model providers. They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
• Services you connect. When your workspace connects a service such as GitHub, we send it what is needed to carry out the actions you request.
• Legal reasons. When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety or security of our users, the public or Volgenic.
• Business transfers. If Volgenic is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to protect forms from forgery. We do not use analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Retention

We keep account information and workspace content while your account or workspace is active. When you delete content or close your account, we delete the related information within 30 days, except where we must keep it longer to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent abuse. Deleted data may remain in backups for a limited time until those backups expire. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to give you a copy of your personal information, correct it, or delete it and close your account. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, such as the right to object to or restrict certain uses of your information. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

To make a request, email legal@volgenic.com. We may need to confirm your identity first. You can also remove Volgenic's access to your Google account at any time from your Google account permissions.

Security

We protect information with encrypted connections, access controls, multi-factor sign-in and limited internal access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you as the law requires.

Where information is processed

Volgenic is operated from the United States, and information is stored and processed there and wherever our service providers operate. By using the service, you understand that your information may be transferred to countries with different data protection laws than your own.

Children

The service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify account holders before the changes take effect.
