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) — transparent forwarders operated by Dasolve AS on Cloudflare, with no logging or storage.

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).

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.

Your rights

• Access: Request a copy of your data — email privacy@archgate.dev with your install ID (from ~/.archgate/config.json or archgate telemetry status).
• Erasure: Request deletion of historical data — email with your install ID. Completed within 30 days.
• Object: Disable telemetry at any time via archgate telemetry disable.
• Portability: Request data export in JSON or CSV format.
• Complaint: Contact the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet).

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.
