Your code stays inside the boundary you choose.
Brief has a useful local mode and an optional team workspace. Each connector's sync mode is explicit and visible; raw source is not part of the default cloud contract.
Last updated July 19, 2026Data Brief processes
- Account data: email address, profile name, authentication identifiers, workspace membership, and role.
- Derived repo data: repo name, branch or commit, file paths, hashes, map nodes, summaries, test references, and freshness.
- Workflow data: task descriptions, context packets, review findings, validation records, handoff notes, learning proposals, and audit events.
- Operational data: connector prefix and scopes, timestamps, usage counters, and request failure details. Connector secrets are stored only as hashes.
Privacy modes
Local-only keeps repo-derived context and receipts on the machine running the connector.
Cloud sync, derived sends derived metadata and proof records so the workspace can show repo freshness, team guidance, reviews, and handoffs. Raw source excerpts and extracted skill or rule bodies are withheld by default.
Team cloud is an explicit opt-in for richer team-managed content. Customers should enable it only after choosing source, visibility, retention, and access policies.
How data is used
Brief uses workspace data to authenticate users, target the right repo, return relevant context, recommend reuse and tests, enforce team guidance, review changes, show proof history, and operate the service. Brief does not sell customer data. The web app currently uses no third-party advertising or behavioral analytics tracker.
Service providers
Brief uses Supabase for authentication and hosted Postgres data, Render for the web service, npm for the public connector package, and Stripe for Team subscription checkout and billing records. Those providers process data according to their own service terms and security controls. Brief sends Stripe the workspace billing identity and active-member quantity, not repository source.
Your choices
Owners and admins can export workspace data. Owners can delete a cloud workspace from Settings. Local files remain under the customer's filesystem controls. See Data controls for exact scope and deletion behavior. Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@runbrief.ai.
