1. Our Commitment to Privacy

At DevCite, we understand that your technical logs, source code metadata, and internal communications are highly sensitive. We built our automated reporting tool with a privacy-first architecture specifically designed for enterprise security, ensuring your underlying Intellectual Property is never exposed.

2. Zero AI Training Policy

We have strict contracts with our Large Language Model providers. None of your data will ever be used to train public AI models. We use enterprise API endpoints where data is processed ephemerally and immediately discarded after your weekly report is generated.

3. Data Collection and Encryption

DevCite requires read-only access to select platforms such as Jira, GitHub, Bitbucket, Linear, and Slack to function. We only collect the specific fields required to generate reports and keep all ingested metadata encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM.

  • Pull request titles, descriptions, and file change metadata without storing actual source code.
  • Ticket summaries, statuses, and updates tied to delivery reporting.
  • Public or approved channel messages only when needed for reporting context.

4. Data Retention

Raw synchronization cache is processed in isolated worker environments and is automatically deleted after your weekly report is successfully generated. We only store the final drafted summaries and the configured delivery endpoints for your historical project archive.
