Privacy Policy

The sections below summarize the most relevant points for CLI users. The canonical policy on the website is the legally binding version.

Summary for CLI users

What the CLI collects

Archgate collects anonymous usage analytics (via PostHog) and crash reports (via Sentry) to improve the tool. No personal information, source code, file content, or AI prompts are ever collected by the CLI itself. See the Telemetry page for a detailed breakdown of every data point.

Archgate Plugins Service

When you sign up via archgate login, the Plugins Service (plugins.archgate.dev) collects personal information: your email address, GitHub username, editor choice, and a use case description. This data is used to provision your account and send a welcome email. Authentication tokens are stored as SHA-256 hashes on our servers; on your machine, credentials are kept in your OS credential manager (never as plain-text files). See the full privacy policy for complete details.

How to opt out

# Environment variable (immediate, per-session or in shell profile)
export ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY=0

# Or persistently via the CLI
archgate telemetry disable

Note: telemetry opt-out disables CLI analytics and crash reporting. It does not affect the Plugins Service account data, which is required for plugin access. To delete your account data, contact [email protected].

What the docs site collects

This documentation site (cli.archgate.dev) uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual visitors, and does not collect personal information. It provides aggregate page-view and performance metrics only.
