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.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f). See our Legitimate Interest Assessment.

Data storage and retention

Service	Data	Region	Retention
PostHog Cloud	Anonymous usage analytics	EU (Frankfurt)	1 year
Sentry Cloud	Crash reports	EU (Frankfurt)	90 days
Turso	Plugins Service account data	EU	Until deletion requested

Data is transmitted via reverse proxies at n.archgate.dev (analytics) and s.archgate.dev (errors). These are transparent forwarders operated by Dasolve AS on Cloudflare, with no logging or storage.

Archgate Plugins Service

When you sign in via archgate login, you authenticate with GitHub through the Archgate platform (auth.archgate.dev), which receives the profile GitHub shares with it: your name, email address, GitHub username, and avatar. This is used to identify your account and send a welcome email. The CLI itself asks you for nothing, and reads only your username, name or email from the sign-in result to label the session. On your machine, the resulting tokens are handed to your configured git credential helper; with an OS-backed helper they are kept encrypted, while git’s built-in store helper writes them in plain text.

By creating an account, you agree to the Terms of Service. 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 privacy@archgate.dev.

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.

PostHog is also used on this site with cookieless, memory-only tracking (persistence: "memory"). No cookies are set, no localStorage is written, and no data persists between page loads.
