Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Elastic Copilot collects, how we use and share that information, and the choices you have. This policy applies to all users of the Elastic Copilot VS Code extension, our website (https://elasticapp.ai), and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using Elastic Copilot, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
We are committed to protecting your data and being transparent about our privacy practices. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy fully. For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at founders@elasticapp.io.
We collect information that you provide to us directly, information that is collected automatically as you use Elastic Copilot, and information from third-party integrations if you choose to connect them. The types of information we collect include:
Sensitive Personal Data: Elastic Copilot is not intended to collect sensitive personal information such as government IDs, health information, biometric data, or financial account details outside of the context of payment. We ask that you do not input any sensitive personal data into prompts or code when using the AI features. Our Service is focused on code and technical data, and any personal information appearing in code (e.g. names, email addresses in config files) will be handled as described in this policy, but please minimize any sensitive personal data you expose to the Service. We do not knowingly collect any data about children under 13, and our Service is not directed to children (see "Children's Privacy" below).
Elastic AI (the company behind Elastic Copilot) uses the collected information for the following purposes:
We will not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use the information we collect to create profiles about your behavior for advertising purposes, nor do we share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
Elastic AI respects your privacy and shares personal data only in limited circumstances. The types of third parties and scenarios where we may share information include:
We want to emphasize that your code and prompts are not shared with any third parties except our subprocessors and AI model providers as necessary to serve you, and in those cases we have taken steps to ensure the data is not retained or misused. We do not provide your content or personal data to advertisers or unrelated third parties.
Data Retention: We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Here are some general retention practices for different categories of data:
When we delete data, we will do so in a manner designed to ensure it cannot be readily reconstructed or linked back to you.
Elastic AI employs a variety of security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. While our separate Security Policy goes into more technical depth, here is an overview of how we safeguard your data:
For more details on our security practices, please refer to the Elastic Copilot Security Policy or contact our security team at founders@elasticapp.io.
Elastic AI is based in the United States, and our infrastructure is located in the U.S. As such, if you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States (and potentially in other countries where our service providers are located, such as the countries where our third-party AI providers operate or backup data centers might reside). These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your country of residence, and in some cases, may not be as protective.
We rely on legally-provided mechanisms to transfer data lawfully across borders. If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland (even though our primary market is U.S. and our Service is oriented to U.S. law compliance), we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards for your personal data, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or verifying that recipients are certified under frameworks like the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (if applicable). By using Elastic Copilot, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other countries as needed for our operations. We will handle your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy wherever it is processed.
If you have questions about international data transfer or require more information on the safeguards we use, please contact us.
You have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information. We are committed to providing you with access and control over your data. These rights may vary depending on your jurisdiction (for example, users in California or the EU have specific rights under laws like the CCPA or GDPR), but we extend many of these principles generally:
Elastic Copilot is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are under 13, please do not use our Service or provide any personal information to us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under 13 (or under 16, as applicable) has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete the information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we update the policy, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. If the changes are material, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as by email notification or a message within the application). Your continued use of Elastic Copilot after any changes to this Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the updated terms, to the extent permitted by law. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
If you do not agree with any updates to the Privacy Policy, you should cease using the Service and may request deletion of your data as outlined above.
By using Elastic Copilot, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Thank you for trusting Elastic Copilot with your software development needs – we are committed to protecting your privacy and creating a secure experience for our users.
